Miners, mine operators, and contractors have important roles to play in mine safety. Mine safety can be substantially improved by preventing accidents that involve powered haulage equipment. Accidents involving powered haulage equipment have historically accounted for a large number of the fatalities and serious injuries in mining.
Loadandhaul operation. The loadandhaul operation can be seen as a continuous cycle that is made up of different production steps or activities. The loadhaul cycle time is the total time to complete a full cycle. The critical cycle steps, as time fractions of the total cycle, have been identified by Krause (2006):
expensive surface mining method. Highwall mining is a coal mining method for recovery of outcropped coal by mechanical excavation without removal of overburden. A continuous miner with single or multiple augers/cutting heads is operated underground and controlled remotely by crew located outside.
A lowprofile intermediate haulage truck. Used to transfer coal from a loading or mining machine to an underground loading point, mine railway, or belt conveyor system. Skip. A selfdumping bucket for hoisting ore or rock in a shaft. Stacker. A large machine used in bulk material handling. For piling bulk material onto a stockpile.
Abstract. Robots are being utilised for mining applications since 1976. However, since 2002, robots are widely into mining from conception to end product or even endusers. Lidar sensors connect robot with a realtime map making it travel safely but detects and avoids obstacles on its own. Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) are widely used to ...

Deep learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence that combines feature engineering and classification in one method. It is a datadriven technique that optimises a predictive model via learning from a large dataset. Digitisation in industry has included acquisition and storage of a variety of large datasets for interpretation and decision making. This has led to the adoption of deep ...
This paper describes an autonomous loading system for loadhauldump (LHD) machines used in underground mining. The loading of fragmented rocks from draw points is a complex task due to many factors including: bucketrock interaction forces that are difficult to model, humidity that increases cohesion forces, and the possible presence of boulders. The proposed system is designed to integrate ...

Autoloading without modification of the truck. The NALON N8 is a system for the automated loading and unloading of trucks and containers. The system is va lid for any truck with no need for modifications, and has a capacity of 150 pallets per hour. The NALON N8 can work on multiple loading docks, thereby increasing productivity.

The measurement of mining equipment performance has evolved. Initially, the measurement was done using singlemeasurement indices such as machine availability, production index and utilisations ...
This study established a truck dispatching model adopting 01 decision variables to rationally allocate truck transportation in openpit mines, maximize the total loading and unloading volume of trucks, and solve the problem of the inability of the truck dispatching model to guide production in openpit mines because of nonspecific results. The model considers loading and unloading logical ...
bunkers and from the bunkers the coal is transported into Washery by the Trucks after weighing on 60T Lorry weigh bridge. Transportation of Coal by Trucks is not under this scope. After washing and other arrangements the grade Coal converted to G9 G12 washed G9 grade coal, after weighment on 60T Lorry weighbridge,
Fortescue Metals Group (FMG) and BHP are two of the biggest customers of Caterpillar's autonomous haulage solutions. FMG's Solomon iron ore mine is Caterpillar's flagship operation for its autonomous solutions. The mine site is being developed into a fully autonomous operation. FMG also completed the conversion of the mining truck fleet at the Chichester Hub iron ore operation in Pilbara ...

Shoveltruck systems are a prevalent loading and hauling system in surface mining operations. The loading units are typically wheel loaders (WL), hydraulic excavators (HEX) or rope excavators. The trucks can be offhighway trucks (OHT), articulated dump trucks or coal haulers as in coal mining. Generally truck fleet sizes increase with
Automatic truck loading and unloading systems have become the ideal solution for improving agility and safety during the goods receipt and dispatch process at the warehouse docks.. The loading docks are a vital part of any distribution more docks an installation has, the greater the goods flows or, in other words, the number of trucks that enter and leave the warehouse.

Mist spray systems have been introduced and the trucks are being covered by tarpaulin. Fog canon, wheel washing system, mechanical road sweepers etc. are being deployed for control of air pollution. In last two years, Coal/Lignite PSUs have deployed/installed 283 mist sprayer/fog canon, 11 wheel washing, 18 mechanical road sweeper and 59 CAAQMS.
Mining techniques can be divided into two common excavation types: surface mining and subsurface (underground) mining (Hartman Mutmansky, 2002).The major components of MHS existing in surface and underground coal mines around the world are depicted in Fig. components in the surface coal mine are pit, shovel, bin, truck, conveyor, stockpile, train and ship (Ataeepour and Baafi, 1999 ...
A semicontinuous process system consisting of a singlebucket excavator, truck, crushing station, and belt conveyor is the main coal mining process system of a largescale hard coal openpit mine. Through analyzing the coal mining production process, the key issues of coal mining truck flow optimization are obtained. Statistical method of using triangular fuzzy numbers analyzes the key time ...
Diesel is also used for operating hauling machines (dump trucks) in opencast mine and accounts for 56% of the total diesel consumption. In this paper, a methodology is proposed for calculating overall energy consumption in major energy intensive mining processes such as loading and hauling operations of the coal mine.
Coal is the major source of power in India and world over. Coal mining is an essential industry which has a major role in the economic development of the country. Most major mining activities contribute directly or indirectly to air pollution. Coal dust is a major air pollutant which affects the personal working in the mines and also people residing in villages near the mines. Air pollution ...
accelerating the shift to unmanned mining and machine automation, rather than stopping it. Demand for Autonomy In the mining industry, ensuring the safety of workers has been an issue for a long time. Particularly, there is a need to improve the safety and comfort of the operators of machinery operating on the site. In addition,
Construction of intelligent coal mine knowledge map. Through the establishment of information entities, the mapping from the physical space to the digital space is realized. This mapping includes not only physical entities (, coal mining machines, hydraulic supports, and tunneling machines), but also time entities (, roof pressure, gas overruns, equipment failures) and functional ...
To answer the need for material transportation in the coal mining industry as efficient and tough, Articulated Dump Truck (ADT) is used. As known Articulated Dump Truck is a variant of the offhighway truck where the cabin and the back of the dump truck including dump body can be articulated to adjust the extreme field conditions.
namely the movement of ore/coal, persons, materials and equipment. Ore/coal transport has either been by locomotivehauled mine cars, belt conveyors or rubbertired trucks. The transport of persons, materials and equipment has either been by railmounted track systems or trackless systems/movable vehicles. Each system described above is still
Both LHDs and mining trucks (figure 2) can be used in underground mines and fitted with automatic systems. However, while the former have a bucket and can therefore load the ore/minerals, the latter can be used only for transportation. In open cast mining, it is common to use larger trucks than those used in underground mines.
The truck dispatching problem in openpit mines is formulated into an integer programming problem in order to optimally determine the trip numbers of trucks from a shovel (dump site) to a dump ...
In 1994 the first Caterpillar autonomous haul truck trial (a 777) occurred at a Texas Crushed Stone quarry in the US. At a similar time, Komatsu were trialling autonomous HD985 haul trucks at Alcoa in WA. Now we have around 500 autonomous haul trucks in the mining industry, predominantly in the iron ore mines of Western Australia.
