LTSS

Output to Long Term Scheduling System

The LTSS option to output the last calculated increment reserves plus haulroad information so that it can be used by the Long Term Scheduling System. The option also computes EFH values.

The system to which this option outputs, is a client's in-house system. However, the option can easily be modified to output to your system. Contact your local Maptek office for details.

Note:   Reserves must be calculated for the increments prior to the option being selected. Haulroads and exit points must also exist as well as haulroad information such as face length, final pillar lengths per block and contour fill tonnage, that is, the Reserves, Haulroads and Report 2 options must have been carried out in the current session before using the LTSS option. The option also uses a nominated shortest path file. See the documentation for the Network Design module.
