Concepts for Development of Autonomous Coal Mine Shuttle Cars

2020.2.10 The research reported in this article seeks to demonstrate the feasibility of autonomous batch haulage vehicles in the underground coal mining production cycle. By introducing autonomous shuttle cars, the operator can be removed from dusty, noisy, and potentially dangerous conditions and be placed in a relatively safe location, while ...

Fundamental understanding of diesel-operated man

2018.1.1 Coal mines DPM Diesel-powered man riding vehicle 1. Introduction A number of coal mines operate in multi-seams comprising a large number of working sections separated by long distances. Man-riding vehicles are used to minimize the miners’ travel time between working sections and thus improve their performance.

Mine Cars - an overview ScienceDirect Topics

In the mine, the coal is extracted from the seam by conventional mining, or by continuous mining, or by longwall mining, or by shortwall mining, or by room and pillar mining. Conventional mining (also called cyclic mining) involves a sequence of operations in the order (i) supporting the roof, (ii) cutting, (iii) drilling, (iv) blasting, (v ...

SafeAI: autonomous vehicles and future mines - Mining Technology

2023.5.29 What are the advantages of using autonomous vehicles in a mine? Autonomous vehicles hold immense potential to make mine sites safer, more productive and more cost-effective. When we deploy autonomous vehicles at a mine site, they can do the heavy lifting in an often-risky environment, removing employees from harm’s way.
