Both may be used by operations management to designate safe working stations in open-pit mines. The output generated by this program includes rockfall trajectories providing bounce heights, rockfall velocities and impact locations for safety designs and rock trace maps that identify hazardous zones. It utilizes special algorithms to enable fast and effective simulations of high-resolution terrain models. This program is designed to effectively read and visualize topographies composed of large numbers of mesh elements. In this thesis, a new three-dimensional analytical program was developed for rockfall trajectory simulation and estimating runout zones. They are used to obtain the required basis for protection designs and safety considerations in rockfall prone areas. Several simulation techniques in the form of computer programs have been developed for this purpose. Rockfall trajectory assessment is essential for estimating consequences of such incidents. Rockfall hazards on open-pit highwalls are composed of two major associated risks, the chance of the rockfall itself and the area impacted by falling rock blocks or the runout zone.
