Automated Volume Estimation of Haul-Truck Loads
This paper describes technology (hardware and software) that has been developed to estimate the volume of material contained within the tray of various haul trucks. Such information is critical to truck utilization and thus can provide information that could lead to significant gains in productivity. The system consists of a field computer and two proximity lasers. The lasers are placed high ab...
متن کاملEvaluation of dust exposure to truck drivers following the lead haul truck
Haul trucks have the potential to generate large amounts of respirable dust. This respirable dust has been shown to be a health hazard to personnel, especially if it has a high silica content. Lack of dust sampling data from haul trucks prompted the completion of a study to quantify respirable dust concentrations. These field studies were conducted measuring instantaneous respirable dust at sta...
متن کاملHaul truck alignment monitoring and operator warning system
This paper presents a haul truck alignment monitoring system that provides early warning signals to the operator when the truck is about to lose control. It is considered that a truck is in this condition when it crosses the centre of the road or veers to the side of the road at speed in an uncontrolled manner. The system provides different level of warnings to the driver and other haul trucks ...
متن کاملWhole Body Vibration Exposures in Long-haul Truck Drivers
Many professional truck drivers experience low back pain (LBP) which is believed to be associated with exposure to whole body vibration (WBV). As a part of a randomized controlled trial, this study measured WBV exposures from 98 professional truck drivers continuously during their regular work shift (8-12 hours). The daily weighted average A(8), vibration dose value VDV(8), and vector sum A(8) ...
متن کاملConsistent haul road condition monitoring by means of vehicle response normalisation with Gaussian processes
Suboptimal haul road management policies such as routine, periodic and urgent maintenance may result in unnecessary cost, both to roads and vehicles. A recent idea is to continually access haul road condition based on measured vehicle response. However the vehicle operating conditions, such as its instantaneous speed, may significantly influence its dynamic response resulting in possibly ambigu...
