description To achieve a rational allocation of real-time operational equipment, such as excavators and dump trucks, in open-pit mines, and thereby enhance truck–shovel coordination, this paper addresses the challenges posed by unreasonable on-site scheduling, which includes excessive truck waiting times and prolonged excavator boom-and-dipper operations. Ultimately, the paper aims to attain optimal truck–shovel coordination efficiency. To this end, we construct a scheduling optimization model, with the production capacities of trucks and shovels serving as constraints. The objective functions of this model focus on minimizing transportation costs, reducing truck waiting times, and shortening excavator boom-and-dipper operation durations. To solve this model, we have developed an improved genetic algorithm that integrates roulette wheel selection and elite preservation strategies. The experimental results of our algorithm demonstrate that it can provide a more refined operational equipment scheduling scheme, effectively decreasing truck transportation costs and enhancing equipment utilization efficiency in open-pit mines.
