LEDs Lighting Arrangements for Underground Mines
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lighting condition is very critical to mine workers, since they completely depend upon visual indication. Effective lighting systems provide better visibility and contribute to improved safety, production, productivity and efficiency of equipments. This paper intended to present a simulation study of configurations for the uniform illumination over a rectangular-target surface (underground mine 26X4.8 m gallery) using power LEDs. This cost effective lighting involved different sets of arrangements of LEDs that provide a close uniform light level for given optimized parameters. The optimized values of the variables in the arrangements were obtained by the using of MATLAB functions for optimization toolbox.

Post Disaster Illumination for Underground Mines
Lighting systems provide mine workers improved visibility and contribute to improved safety, productivity, and morale. Lighting is critical to miners, since they depend heavily on visual cues to spot fall of ground, pinning & striking and slipping & tripping hazards. Most conventional systems of lighting are used in mines are extracting a lots of power and deal with major maintenance problems. ...
متن کاملAerial Rock Fragmentation Analysis in Low-Light Condition Using UAV Technology
In recent years, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology has been introduced into the mining industry to conduct terrain surveying. This work investigates the application of UAVs with artificial lighting for measurement of rock fragmentation under poor lighting conditions, representing night shifts in surface mines or working conditions in underground mines. The study relies on indoor and outd...

Researchers at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) are conducting mine illumination research with the objective of improving miner safety. Slips, trips, and falls (STFs) are the second leading accident class (18.1%, n = 2,374) of nonfatal lost-time injuries at underground mines (MSHA, 2005-2009). Factors contributing to STFs include recognition of hazards as well a...
