Abstract

We apply a cooperative coevolutionary algorithm for the real-time evolution of schedules in underground mines. The algorithm evolves simultaneously both truck dispatching and traffic light schedules for one-lane roads. The coevolutionary approach achieves high production with fewer trucks than both the widely-used DISPATCH algorithm, and commonly-used greedy heuristics.
