    Statistical correlation of off-highway tire failures with openpit haulage routes
    (SOC MINING METALLURGY EXPLORATION INC, 2001) Knights, PF; Boerner, AL
    Off-highway tire costs represent a significant portion of the total mining costs in openpit, truck-shovel operations. To extend the lives of tires, the site-specific factors influencing tire life should be investigated. Valuable data can be obtained by combining historical operational data captured by a mine dispatch system with detailed tire and maintenance histories. Assuming that failure counts satisfy a Poisson distribution, F-tests can be applied to determine significant deviations from desired or target counts.
