Hybrid simulation modeling of ecological state of a mining region using a multi-agent approach

One of the key strategic objectives of the present day is the effective maintenance of ecological safety of natural resources and the increase in mineral production. Operating production facilities, especially in the mining industry, has an adverse effect on the ecological state of adjacent areas and in the whole region. In this connection, management should possess a tool of operational and readily interpretable evaluation of the impact exerted by industry on the environment. This study aims to enhance ecological monitoring efficiency in mining regions in long-term planning and production control. The study consisted in construction of a hybrid simulation model using an agent-oriented approach with some elements of system dynamics and discrete-event simulation. The resultant model enables dynamic assessment of atmospheric air condition in a mining region, as well as variation of pollution rate factors during the model run. The research results can be further on integrated in the processes of managerial decisionmaking on intensification of production in the mining industry.
