Case Study: Leading Coal Exporter achieves optimized truck loadout and mine traffic management with AnyLogic

Optimizing Truck Loadout and Mine Traffic Management

A Leading Coal Exporter needed to validate the design of a new truck loadout facility and ensure it could handle current and future demand. Static tools like Excel couldn’t capture the complexity of mine traffic management, truck flow, and interdependencies, so they partnered with AnyLogic and consulting support to model the operation before construction began.

Using AnyLogic simulation software, the team built a dynamic model to test layout options, operating policies, and what-if scenarios. They ran thousands of layouts and scheduling combinations, identified the ideal number of weighbridges and tarpaulin stations, optimized bin sizes, and planned around train schedules to avoid disruption. The result was fewer bottlenecks, no costly rework, and smarter infrastructure decisions backed by data.
