TECHNICAL PROGRAM Mining & exploration: technology: technology applications for Safety in Mining and Mining equipment 2:00 PM • Wednesday, February 27 chair: S. Shields, Joy Global, Milwaukee, WI 2:00 PM Introductions 2:05 PM Traffic Awareness and Collision Avoidance for Surface Mining Equipment – A Case Study T. Ruff 1 and T. Medinski 2 ; 1 SAFEmine Technology USA, Oakland, CA and 2 Teck, Trail, BC, Canada A trial of the SAFEmine Traffic Awareness and Collision Avoidance System was conducted on surface mining equipment and light vehicles at Tecks Line Creek Operation in 2012. The SAFEmine system determines vehicle location and movement information using GPS, while peer-to-peer radios are used to communicate this information to surrounding vehicles. The six-week trial was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of SAFEmine for increasing operator situational awareness and providing warnings of potential collisions. The trial was split into two phases: a two-week OFF phase where alarm data was logged, but not presented to operators to establish a baseline; and a four-week ON phase to determine effectiveness, acceptance, and how operator behavior was affected by system alarms. Parameters of interest were speeding, following too close, light vehicle to heavy vehicle interactions and heavy vehicle to heavy vehicle interactions. Performance criteria were based on several factors including GPS accuracy, system reliability, effectiveness of intelligent alarming, operator acceptance, and potential site safety improvement. 2:25 PM Application of Borehole Logging and Probing Systems for Ground Characterization in Mining Operations A. Naeimipour 1 , X. Yu 2 and J. Rostami 1 ; 1 EME, Penn State University, University Park, PA and 2 China University of Mining and Technology, Beijing, China Understanding the geological condition of surrounding rock in mines is the first step in recognition of potential hazards and design of the appropriate ground support system. Availability of the correct and sufficient information is the essential tool to mitigate ground control problems, but there is often limited information about the surrounding rock and the exploration borehole measures are few and far in between. Typically no one is allowed to venture into unsupported areas, thus the amount of information is naturally limited to mapping in the bolted/supported areas and to the activities that can be performed in short period of time. Meanwhile there have been vast advances in the area of ground characterization using various probing devices that could be adopted for mapping of the geological features and ground/roof/risk mapping. This paper will review the geophysical logging methods and their application in mapping the roof strata and ribs and will offer the most suitable methods and equipment for various applications. The research underway to couple borehole logging with the development of mapping while drilling approach will also be discussed. 2:45 PM Operator Assist Technology for Advanced Dust & Noise Mitigation and Obstacle Avoidance in Underground Mining B. Thompson; Joy Global, Milwaukee, WI Global regulations continue to drive change in the operating environment. Key areas of focus center around dust, noise, and proximity detection. Joy has recently tested and released new systems to assist operators in meeting or exceeding these regulatory proposals. We will review testing, validation, and implementation of these new technologies in pursuit of Zero Harm. 3:05 PM Engineering The Health, Safety and Comfort of Dump Truck Operators S. Frimpong and N. Aouad; Mining and Nuclear Engineering, Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla, MO Dump truck operators are exposed to whole-body vibration (WBV) levels that exceed the ISO 2631-1 Standards. The WBV level, measured by RMS acceleration value, for operator comfort, and long-term health and safety is under 0.315 m/s2 by these standards. However, fundamental research by Frimpong and Aouad (2009, 2012) and field experimental study by Kumar (1999) have shown that operators are exposed to extreme WBV levels exposing them to injuries and musculoskeletal diseases in the long term. This presentation will outline current research to solve these problems. 3:25 PM Behavior and Performance Analysis Using PreVail A. Bhushan; Joy Global, Milwaukee, WI PreVail, Joy Globals Remote Health Monitoring (RHM) technology collects and screens large amounts of machines health and performance data on P&H electric shovels. The technology has proven to greatly reduce the amount of time required to determine root cause of traditionally complex and time-consuming electrical drive and control systems issues for faster resolution and return to productive operation. P&H PreVail RHM helps to optimize machine performance which in turn lead to production enhancements, maintenance optimization, and help determine and refine unsafe operating practices. 3:45 PM Vehicle Situational Awareness and Mobile Mining Equipment Tracking System B. Thompson; Military, Mining and Industrial Markets, CCT & Associates, San Diego, CA A powerful multiuse, multipurpose Rugged Vehicle Situational Awareness and Tracking System incorporate advanced military systems for unprecedented communication, vision, position and monitoring capabilities for Heavy Mobile Mining equipment. 4:05 PM Dump Height Optimization in High-impact Shovel Loading Operations N. Aouad, S. Frimpong and J. Owusu; Mining And Nuclear Engineering, Missouri S&T, Rolla, MO Dump height has an important role in truck and operators whole body vibrations (WBV) during high-impact shovel loading operations (HISLO). The shovel dipper location during loading affects truck productivity and cycle time. Material released from the dipper under gravity causes impact forces traveling throughout the truck chassis and reaching the operators cabin and seat. The aim of this paper is to find the optimum dumping height that reduces the impact forces generated under gravity. This paper links various dump heights to truck productivity as well as shockwaves generated throughout the system causing operators WBV. Mathematical models are generated to solve for the optimum dump height without sacrificing truck productivity and reducing the amount of vibrations reaching the operators seat under the ISO 2631 comfort zone. A virtual prototype model of truck being loaded is developed and simulated within the MSC.ADAMS/View environment. The solution developed and simulation results in this paper will define an optimum dumping height that lowers truck and operators WBV; increases truck longevity and ensure an economic safety during HISLO. This is the Technical Program as of September 1, 2012. IT IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. 119 Please see the Onsite Program for final details.
