Mining vehicles follow specific routes (safety) For mining sites to be safe, removing human labor from the equation is an effective way to do so. While for the operation to be autonomy is not possible, but just the mining vehicles, it is possible. The autonomous mining trucks can travel between sites employing midway checkpoints
An example of the above is the Wyoming Coal Mine truck loading facility. This incorporates a number of Flexowell steep angled conveyors, the principle unit handling 816 t/h (900 ton/h), being loaded on a short level section and is then deflected up an angle of 50° to the vertical (ref. 5 ) .
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.
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.
In these projects, the boring machines drill through rocks characterized with different properties. In coal mines, coal is one of the major types of sedimentary rocks with low uniaxial compression strength (UCS) (<120 MPa). The drilling depth in coal mines can reach 600 m, and the maximum diameter of back reaming reaches 5 m.

One of the main
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 ...
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 ...
This paper presents a reliability analysis of LoadHaulDumper (LHD) in an underground coal mine. The goodnessoffit distribution of each LHD was made through the CramerVonMises statistic test.
Approximately, 40% of the total energy used in surface mines is related to diesel consumption. Truck haulage is responsible for a majority of this. This chapter introduces the principal equipment used to load and haul materials in mines, namely trucks, electric rope shovels, hydraulic excavators and crushing and conveying systems.
truck arrive for loading and the rate of truck service by shovels, justified and defined in [7, 8]. The results of calculating the functional criterion are summarized in Table 2. Table 2. The results of calculating the functional criterion for assessing the STS operation quality at openpit coal mines Indicators Mines
Autonomous Haulage Systems (AHS) are considered a cheaper, safer, and more reliable option to run the mines by mining companies, especially those in the Americas, Australia, and Europe since the cost of the workforce is high or there is an increased risk in the terrain. In addition, autonomous haulage systems will improve efficiency and ...
Mining trucks, also referred to as haul trucks or road trucks, are used to haul (transport) the ore or waste material from the loader to the dumpsite. In most cases, these vary from 36 tons to 315 tons. The size and cost of operating mining trucks are directly proportional to its tray capacity, while the
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 ...

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.

After washing and other arrangements the grade Coal converted to G9 G12 washed G9 grade coal, after weighment on 60T Lorry weighbridge,
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.

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 ...
The open pit mining load and haul system has been a mainstay of the mining industry for many years. While machines have increased in size and scale and automation has become an important development, there have been few innovations to the actual load and haul process itself in recent times. This research highlights some of the potential productivity and safety benefits that the incorporation ...
Transport activities in openpit mines contribute to a large portion of total energy consumption. Most truck scheduling studies still take a traditional approach to autonomous mining trucks, which does not fully exploit the strengths of the autonomous trucks that can perform more accurate speed control compared to conventional manned trucks. In this paper, a mixedinteger programming model is ...
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 ...
