Method of controlling a mining vehicle and scheduling system for generating a driving schedule for a mining vehicle

A scheduling system for generating a driving schedule for a mining vehicle of a plurality of mining vehicles, wherein:

• at least two of the plurality of mining vehicles are electrically connectable to a power delivery infrastructure,
• each of the plurality of mining vehicles has a power status while traveling along a target path, the power status comprising a power demand or a power surplus, and
• the scheduling system comprises:
• a communication device configured to receive fleet status data comprising a position, and
• a modelling engine, wherein the scheduling system is configured to, based on input data including the fleet status data:
• generate a driving schedule comprising instructions to control a movement of the vehicle along the target path, wherein the generation of the driving schedule comprises optimizing the driving schedule according to penalties, wherein the penalties include a penalty term indicative of a power surplus of at least one of the plurality of mining vehicles.
