ATRI continues to use a standardized data collection methodology. One question was added to this year's data collection form to provide insight into the financial burden placed on motor carriers as a result of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulation requiring the use of Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs).

Hybrid Electric Haulage Trucks for Open Pit Mining. Hybrid Electric Vehicles improve fuel economy by taking advantage of the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) peak efficiency operating envelope and using an energy storage system to supply drive power when the ICE has lower efficiency. To achieve this, a hybrid design requires …

For the mining autonomous vehicle use-case it is recommended to leverage the Advanced rate adaptation. The CURWB predictive rate selection algorithm is pro-active. In a congested environment LER is kept low by predictively adjusting the data rate and this helps to prevent packet loss. The predictive algorithm tries to keep the LER …

This solution also severely limits adding other automated mining equipment, or other connected objects. To achieve full remote control and enable the next wave of …

The single boom jumbo, also known as the single-arm underground drilling jumbo, is primarily used in mining, metalworking, water and power, railway, and highway engineering tunneling projects. It operates on the tunnel's face, roof, sides, and floor. Furthermore, the single boom jumbo can drill the blast hole and the bolt hole with ease.

Komatsu has a few models of dragline excavators that include some impressive technology. The P&H 9020C has a customizable boom length of 300-405 feet and a bucket capacity of 75 to 117 cubic yards. It comes standard with Komatsu's Centurian electrical control system. This system has several integration features.

Slow and steady wins the race. When you are backing up your dump truck, remember to do so at a walking pace. If you speed up, this could cause instability in the vehicle, due to the heavy weight it is carrying and may even cause you to lose control of the vehicle itself. Keeping your pace slow and steady also ensures the safety of the workers ...

The Remote Ore Collector, short ROC, is a ground mining vehicle manufactured by Greycat Industrial, the compact size allows it to be loaded into many medium size ships with a ramp. The vehicle is fitted with a fully rotatable size 0 Mining Laser and was released on August 5, 2020 with Alpha 3.10.0. Armament The size 0 Arbor MHV Mining Laser is …

Miners can unearth surface material through strip mining, quarrying, and open-pit mining. In addition, those different mining methods bring various mining equipment into the enclosed environment of underground work, such as massive earth-moving trucks and rotary drill rigs. Surface and blast mining often go hand-in-hand since …

Analysis equipment such as a scale system is also an important tool in the mining industry. The regulates material load and monitors production output. There are systems out there that allow you ...

An automatic haulage system is a fleet management system designed for mines. It relies on a wireless connection to create an interconnected system that equips mining machines with GPS, vehicle controllers, and obstacle detection systems. It enhances the benefits of a fleet of autonomous vehicles. Its capabilities enable route mapping and safety ...

Why Occupational, Health and Safety (OHS) is important in Mining Industry? Safe and Efficient Extraction and Processing is one of the major goal of a mining companies.The dangers associated with the mining operations are more since they have to operate on remote and less hospitable regions. In order to know the severity we need to …

the vehicle to a safe halt and hold it in place under all operational circumstances. Personnel: Equipment operators. Method: Interview equipment operators. Inspect OEM specification and a sample of mobile equipment to verify that the vehicles are equipped with the required braking systems. Refer to MSIR rr. 10.38 and 13.2, Mines Safety Bulletin

Driving a motor vehicle or work as an outside helper on motor vehicles—bans operating motor vehicles on public roads and working as outside helpers on motor vehicles, except 17-year-olds may drive cars or small trucks during daylight hours for limited times and under strictly limited circumstances. Coal mining—bans most jobs in coal mining.

The new IDTechEx report, 'Electric Vehicles and Robotics for Mining 2020-2030' shows how electric vehicles and increasingly unmanned mines tick the boxes in addressing all these challenges from sea floor to mountain, deep mine and open pit work. The report provides uniquely up-to-date, penetrating analysis and forecasts of the …

Mining of polymetallic (manganese) nodules from the deep ocean is likely to be the first mineral resource targeted and will involve direct impacts to hundreds of km² of seabed per mine per year ...

To navigate around the site, each autonomous mining truck employs both radar and lidar (light detection and ranging devices) to sense objects around the vehicle. These, combined with high-precision …

A Saft expert evaluates various Li-ion chemistries and strategies – battery swapping vs. fast charging – for electric mining vehicles. Diesel-powered mining vehicles add risk and complexity underground. Operators need extensive ventilation infrastructure to manage the exhaust gases, and this becomes exponentially larger as mines go deeper.

Auger drilling is the simplest form of drilling. It involves the manual rotation of a helical screw into the ground, usually by two people although auger drills can also be mounted to small vehicles. Once the auger drill is deep enough, the earth is lifted up by the blade of the screw. This kind of drill specializes as an initial geochemical ...

The use of drones allows remote BVLOS operation, removing human operators from these risky conditions. Some systems are now able to map and navigate cramped underground passages and chambers more efficiently than any team of miners, even in the absence of GPS. The ease of deployment and lower cost of drones also allows inspections to be ...

From the field observations (2020) and other literature resources, the evolution of social license to mining in Southeast Asia is similar to small and medium-sized to large-scale mining (Gary McMahon et al., 2000 ). Only the timeline is different from country to country, depending on each nation's social and economic background.
