Long-term Planning of Coal Mines by Statistical


Evaluation of Databases in Existing Mines
D.E. KRAUSHAAR
R uhrkohle AG, EsseJl, Federal Republic of GermaJlY

Ruhrkohle in West Germany evaluates and compares the nel present values
of long-term periods from its coal mines by a computer assisted long-term
planning system. Two main parts of this system are computer programs for
the prediction of:
(a) mineable re...erves and their distributio n in lo ngwali panels as a function
of dependent geological variables;
(b) daily outputs and costs of longwall panels as a function of dependent geo-
logical, layout and operational variables.
This paper describes the investigations, which ended in the above computer
programs:
the collection of information from past workings and their organization
in databases;
the statistical evaluation of the data bases, and
the resulting correlation formulas,
The correlation formulas vary the mean dependent variables as a fun ction
of independent variables which can be indicated with high reHability for plan-
ning projects in the long run. The system thus serves the purpose of facilitating
long-term planni ng and excluding biased individual judgement of local plan-
ning staffs.
