Rapid optimisation in underground mining network design

该项目在优化地下矿山基础设施和提供强大的管理规划工具方面取得了重大进展。由于其准确性、灵活性和通用性，我们正在开发的软件工具将被证明对采矿业很重要。它们不仅可以作为设计特定矿山的基准，而且还为测试新兴技术的成本效益提供了可靠的方法。这是确保澳大利亚采矿业保持高效率和国际竞争力的一个重要项目。鉴于我们对矿产资源的经济依赖，这也将使整个澳大利亚受益。

This project represents a major advance in the problem of optimising the infrastructure of underground mines and providing powerful planning tools for management. The software tools we are developing will prove important to the mining industry because of their accuracy, flexibility and generality. Not only can they be used for benchmarking in the design of specific mines, but they also provide a reliable method for testing the cost-benefit of emerging technologies. This is an important project for ensuring that Australia's mining industry remains efficient and internationally competitive. Given our economic dependence on mineral resources, it will also benefit Australia as a whole.
