The purpose of an excavator is to dig up materials and load them onto heavy-duty dump trucks. Typically, positioned at the rear truck when loading. In order automate this process, paper proposes a system that employs combined stereo camera two LiDAR sensors determine three-dimensional (3D) position truck’s cargo box analyze its loading space. Sparse depth information acquired from used detect p...

Infants as young as 5 months of age view familiar actions such as reaching as goal-directed (Woodward, 1998), but how do they construe the goal of an actor's reach? Six experiments investigated whether 12-month-old infants represent reaching actions as directed to a particular individual object, to a narrowly defined object category (e.g., an orange dump truck), or to a more broadly defined obj...

Alat berat merupakan faktor pendukung yang sangat penting dalam suatu proyek terutama pada skala pekerjaan besar. Penggunaan alat bertujuan untuk memudahkan sumber daya manusia pelaksanaan tersebut. Khususnya di wilayah kabupaten Gunungkidul saat ini sedang banyak melakukan pembangunan Jalur Jalan Lintas Selatan (JJLS). memiliki letak geografis pegunungan kapur atau karst maka tidak memungkinka...

This paper describes an autonomous navigation system for a large underground mining vehicle. The control architecture is based on a robust reactive wall-following behaviour. To make it purposeful we provide driving hints derived from an approximate nodal-map. For most of the time, the vehicle is driven with weak localization (odometry). This need only be improved at intersections where decision...

This article presents a developed system that use RFID technology for trucks’ cargo real-time tracking. RFID tags were settled at trucks’ dump-carts and readers were spread throughout warehouses entrances, at the truck weighting scale and through unload platforms. The unload inspectors used robust PDA with camera, along with Wi-Fi access points installed in warehouses, to confirm the truck info...

Three-dimensional simulations of diesel particulate matter (DPM) distribution inside a single straight entry for the Load-Haul-Dump loader (LHD)-truck loading and truck hauling operations were conducted by using ANSYS FLUENT computational fluid dynamics software. The loading operation was performed for a fixed period of 3 min. The dynamic mesh technique in FLUENT was used to study the impact of...

The deployment of large machinery for low cost, bulk surface mine production operations has resulted in High-Impact Shovel Loading Operations (HISLO). In extreme cases, shovels load large dump trucks with 100ton (or more) passes generating high-impact forces under gravity. HISLO generates high-frequency shockwaves that cause severe truck vibrations exposing operators to Whole Body Vibrations (W...
