Systems and methods for designing a haul road

摘要

A method for designing a haul road based on machine performance comprises receiving one or more haul road parameters (310) and identifying at least one type of machine to be operated on the haul road (320). The method also includes selecting at least one target operating parameter associated with the at least one type of machine (330) and simulating performance of the at least one type of machine to predict an operating value corresponding with the at least one target operating parameter (340). If the predicted operating value is not within a threshold range of the corresponding target operating parameter, one or more haul road parameters are adjusted (360).
