CALCULATION OF CYCLE TIME FOR HAULING EQUIPMENT

C.l ESTIMATED TRAVEL SPEED, LOADING/UNLOADING & ALLOWANCE FOR DELAY

ROAD SURFACE DUMP TRUCK TRAVEL SPEED {km/h}

TERRAIN CONDITION
CONDITION LOADED EMPTY
PAVED 35 55
FLAT
UNPAVED 30 45
PAVED 30 40
ROLLING
UNPAVED 25 35
PAVED 20 30
MOUNTAINOUS
UNPAVED 15 25
LOADING TIME (min) 3
UNLOADING TIME (min) 2
ALLOWANCE FOR DELAY (min) 100/0 of Cycle Time

C.2 FORMULA FOR THE CALCULATION OF DUMP TRUCK TRAVEL TIME

FORMULA: T = D7R

Where T = Time, Time of Travel (h)

D = Distance, Hauling Distance (km)
R= Rate, Travel Speed (km/h)

C.3 COMPUTATION OF CYCLE TIME, T

Example: Average Hauling Distance = 2.00 km
J
Flat
Average Hauling Distance = 2.00 km
Loading Time = 3.00 min
Loaded Travel Time
First 200 m @ 20 kph = 0.60 min
Succeeding 1600 m@ 30 kph = 3.20 min
Next 200 m @ 20 kph = 0.60 min
Unload and Manuever = 2.00 min
Return Empty
First 200 m @ 30 kph = 0.40 min
Succeeding 1600 m@ 45 kph = 2.13 min
Next 200 m @ 30 kph = 0.40 min
Cycle Time, T = 12.33 min
Allowance for Delay = 1.23 min

Total Cycle Time, T = 13.56 minutes

NOTE:

The assumed travel time for loaded and unloaded dump trucks for each type of road surface and
terrain condition are for normal conditions. It may vary depending on traffic and road surface
conditions and other fa9:0rs provided that a detailed justification/explanation to be supported with
corresponding data and relevant information should be presented.
