In this study, we proposed a method to simulate a truck-loader haulage system in open-pit mines and visualize the results in real time using the software AnyLogic. An open-pit limestone mine in Korea was selected as the study area. The time parameters for each unit operation of the haulage system were measured via a field survey. A discrete event simulation model for the mine was then developed using AnyLogic. We intuitively confirmed the simulation results with key production indicators and visualized the truck-loader haulage operation over time. This study was thus able to overcome the limitations of previous studies, which could not measure key production indicator values and the status of haulage systems in real time during simulations.
