Haul road condition determination under controlled interaction of robotic elements in open pit mining and transport system

Abstract

The article addresses some issues connected with the control of a robotic mining transport system. It is shown that an important place in this system belongs to the telemetry information from onboard computers of large dump trucks en route in an open pit mine. A detail description of in situ experimentation at an open pit mine of Stoilensky Mining and Processing Plant, Belgorod Region, is given. Under analysis is the dynamics of change in the critical parameters of control. The experimental telemetric information processing algorithm is presented. A few models to identify road surface quality and damage are listed. The argumentation is given for the capacities of this approach in design of a proper software module and its inclusion in the supervisory control system.This study has been supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, Project No. 16-07-01197.
