Abstract

A system and method for controlling the state of battery of a trolley assisted mining truck connectable to one or more trolley line(s), the trolley assisted mining truck carrying out an operation schedule including transport cycles. The system includes a battery charge status unit for determining battery charge status data indicative of the present charge status of the battery of the mining truck; a transport status unit for determining progress data of the progress of the mining truck in a present transport cycle; and a control unit for determining a schedule condition indicative of whether the operation schedule can be met and maintained. The control unit is configured to adapt, in case of the schedule condition being determined to be not satisfactory, at least one operational parameter and/or the operation schedule of the mining truck for obtaining a sustainable state of battery charge.
