Testing the Impact of Braking Algorithm Parameters on Acceleration and Braking Distance for a Suspended Monorail with Regard to Acceptable Travel Speed in Hard Coal Mines

Increasing the maximum speed limit of suspended monorails, which became a very popular means auxiliary transport, is one aspects improving efficiency work in underground coal mines. It especially important to enable higher (than allowed by law) travel speed, when moving crew and from workplace, often distant shaft, can take more than hour travel. this will make it possible extend effective working time miners, should have positive impact on economics mine. However, driving at also associated with increased risk negative dynamic overload people, e.g., during emergency braking monorail. The concept sequential was developed order avoid excessive deceleration affecting passengers operator monorail, as well minimize loads acting rail suspensions roadway support frames, could cause serious accidents. assumptions regard new method are innovative area related hard mining, where there currently no such solutions. According principles concept, total force divided into two stages. activation second stage depends measured after delay first braking. We present results numerical simulations, aimed analyze changing parameters algorithm deceleration, time, distance. possibility downward high inclination angle were taken account simulations. Use enables optimization process used. This aspect increasing safety for people travelling limit. simulations provide knowledge terms braking, without injury miners or damage equipment.
