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.
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.
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,

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 ...
The measurement of mining equipment performance has evolved. Initially, the measurement was done using singlemeasurement indices such as machine availability, production index and utilisations ...
AutoMine®. The AutoMine® product group offers autonomous and remotely operated mobile equipment. It allows operators to simultaneously control and monitor multiple underground and surface machine operations in the comfort and safety of a remote control room. With AutoMine®, customers can scale up automation at their own pace.
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.
Trajectory planning for a heavyduty mining truck near the loading/dumping sites of an openpit mine is difficult. As opposed to trajectory planning for a smallsized passenger car in a parking ...
The framework is used for allocating trucks by route according to their operating performances in a truckshovel system of an openpit mine, so as to maximize the overall productivity of the fleet.
1. Large Mining Trucks. To move materials around a mine site, workers need heavyduty trucks. Also known as offhighway trucks, large mining trucks include both powerful mechanical models and environmentally friendly electric drive models.. Unlike conventional trucks, these mining vehicles have extralarge tires to support the heavy loads over uneven terrain commonly found around surface mines.
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 ...
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 ...
Electric mining haul trucks are one of the most challenging applications of power electronics in automotive systems. This paper presents some advances in veryhighpower trucks used in copper ...
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.
Currently, the most common system for the loading and hauling stage in open pit mining is the ShovelTruck system (ST) [9,12]. This comprises of a shovel loading blasted material into a truck, which transports the material from the dig face to a destination (stockpile, dump, or primary crusher) where it is unloaded. The truck then returns to the
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 100% autonomy is not possible, but just the mining vehicles, it is possible. The autonomous mining trucks can travel between sites employing midway checkpoints
To improve the purity of coal and prevent damage to the coal mining machine, it is necessary to identify coal and rock in underground coal mines. At the same time, the mined coal needs to be purified to remove rock and gangue. These two procedures are manually operated by workers in most coal mines. The realization of automatic identification and purification is not only conducive to the ...
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.
