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 calculated. A GIS database was also constructed for 50 Bluetooth beacons that were installed along the haul roads. An Android-based BBUNS application was developed to visualize the current location of each dump truck and the optimal haul road to the destination on mobile devices, using the Bluetooth beacon system that was installed in the underground mine. Whenever the BBUNS recognized all of the Bluetooth beacons installed in the underground mine, it could provide the dump truck drivers with information on the current location and the two-dimensional (2-D) and 3-D haul road properties.

  • Bramin 2016 Official Investment Guide - 24Th World Mining Congress
    2016 BRAMIN OFFICIAL INVESTMENT GUIDE OFFICIAL INVESTMENT 24TH WORLD MINING CONGRESS WORLD 24TH BRAMIN 2016 OFFICIAL INVESTMENT GUIDE - 24TH WORLD MINING CONGRESS Dear Reader, On behalf of the Brazilian Mining Association - IBRAM and its associates, we would like to offer a warm welcome to all the participants of the 24th edition of the World Min- ing Congress - WMC 2016. This is the first time that the WMC, recognized as one of the most important mining events worldwide, is being held in Brazil. The central theme of this congress is "Mining in a World of Innovation", one of the most current and important issues in the management of mining businesses. The world is changing dramatically in all aspects, thus this is the time to push for innova- tion in mining. Innovation may be complex but it is not always complicated. Moreover, it can occupy one of the three “ambition levels” that define its purpose or result: a) Core innovations optimize existing products for existing customers; b) Adjacent or incremen- tal innovations expand existing business into “new to the company” business and c) Transformational or new innovations are breakthroughs and inventions for markets that do not yet exist. An additional perspective on this is that innovation is not only related to technology upgrades. We can also innovate in the way we relate to the industry's stakeholders and the rest of the society. So, this is the proposal of the 24th edition of the WMC, amongst others. We also intend to technically and scientifically promote and support cooperation, with the goal of having sustainable operations and processes in the mining sector.

  • Current State and Development Prospects of Autonomous Haulage at Surface Mines
    E3S Web of Conferences 174, 01028 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202017401028 Vth International Innovative Mining Symposium Current State and Development Prospects of Autonomous Haulage at Surface Mines Yuri Voronov1*, Artyom Voronov1 , and Daulet Makhambayev2 1T.F. Gorbachev Kuzbass State Technical University, Department of Road Transport, 650000 Kemerovo, 28 Vesennya st., Russian Federation 2Kazakh Humanitarian Juridical Innovative University, EKR, Semey, 11Mangilik st., Republic of Kazakstan Abstract. Autonomous (or unmanned) haulage systems have been used in surface mining for more than 10 years. Most of the equipment at such mines is remotely controlled by electronics, for which they are sometimes called "smart mines". The elimination of the "human factor" from the pro- duction process should theoretically increase its safety and productivity, as well as reduce the operating costs of its implementation. However, despite the obvious advantages of this technology, it is not spreading as fast as ex- pected. This suggests that there are a number of problems that limit its de- velopment. In this paper, a review and analysis of the experience in the in- dustrial implementation of autonomous haulage in surface mining is car- ried out in order to identify existing problems and possible directions for their further development. The prerequisites, a brief history and some im- portant results of the introduction of autonomous haulage systems in sur- face mining, their main types and constituent elements are outlined, as well as the existing problems and expected directions of their development are highlighted. 1 Introduction In progress of surface mining of minerals, as a rule, hundreds of people and dozens of heavy loading and transport machines are involved, which must work on a tight schedule, often in difficult weather conditions.
