Abstract
The 70,000 m2 ball clay mine has a mine life 16 years. The excavation cycle transport in mine is the routine. The research objective is the best jaw crusher position which makes the shortest of total distance in the hauling system. The analyzed methods are the block model, was applied to the non-geometry area. The clay volume from all drill samples has designed in two level depths. Firstly the three displacement theories as Euclidean, Chebyshev and Manhattan were tested to find the best place. Then, the sub level had the slope as the area boundary. This condition was solved by the shortest path of Dijkstra’s algorithm. The best position of crusher has given the total distance of a project as 1,237 units. The worst case of crusher position has been evaluated the total distance of a project as 2,453 units. It can reduce 43% of distance in this project. So, the good mine planning can design in the small scale without the package software. The beneficial of this research can reduce the excavation cost, hauling time, logistic management cost, the dust from logistic, the gas emission and environment impact. Finally, this methodology can apply in various applications such as earth works, back fill works and overburden movement.
