TALPAC 3D (Surface): Haulage Simulation

This course introduces TALPAC 3D, a 3D simulation tool used to evaluate the efficiency, productivity, and economics of truck and loader haulage operations. You'll learn to navigate the TALPAC 3D interface, build a mine simulation model from the ground up, and configure both the 3D Network Analysis and Haul Route Analysis workflows. The course covers setting up features, materials, road networks, sources, and destinations, as well as configuring loading, load-and-haul, and load-and-carry equipment using the built-in Equipment Library. You'll explore key tools including the Fleet Planner for productivity forecasting, Cycle Time Analysis for route comparison, and Effective Working Time calculations for shift and availability planning. By the end of the course, you'll be able to run simulations, analyze results, and configure "what-if" scenarios to reduce risk, minimize haulage costs, and optimize fleet performance.
