چکیده
In this study, a mine production management application (app) using Bluetooth beacon and tablet PC was developed to support the efficient operation of an underground loading-transport system. The app receives signals from beacons attached major loading points crushing sites through mounted on truck records time were received as well location truck. addition, when signal beacon, driver can select input information such point, ore type, dumping method screen. Data recorded during haulage are automatically transmitted cloud server arrives in wireless communication area. continuously stores manages data multiple trucks equipped with PCs. performance test conducted by system for limestone located Jeongseon, Korea. Results confirmed that related field could be effectively collected managed, efficiency improved.

BBUNS: Bluetooth Beacon-Based Underground Navigation System to Support Mine Haulage Operations
A Bluetooth beacon-based underground navigation system (BBUNS) was developed to identify the optimal haul road in an underground mine, track the locations of dump trucks, and display this information on mobile devices. A three-dimensional (3-D) geographic information system (GIS) database of the haul roads in an underground mine was constructed, and the travel time for each section was calculat...
متن کاملApplication of laser scanning to measure fragmentation in underground mines
The particle size distribution of fragmented rock in mines significantly affects operational performance of loading equipment, materials handling and crushing systems. A number of methods to measure rock fragmentation exist at present, however these systems have a number of shortcomings in an underground environment. This paper outlines the first implementation of high resolution 3D laser scann...
متن کاملErgonomic and Existing Seat Designs Compared on Underground Mine Haulage Vehicles
NIOSH researchers conducted a study to compare seat designs on underground coal mine haulage vehicles. The objective of the study was to support prior findings that NIOSH-designed seats, which incorporated ergonomic design features (e.g., viscoelastic foam padding and low-back support), are improved designs. Based on measured levels of vehicle jarring/jolting and perceived discomfort, researche...
