The Management Systems of Road Transport (MSRT) must include responsibility for planning the routes and schedules of vehicles fleet involved in the road haulage, distribution and logistics. It must ensure that all operations are carried out in maximum safety, environmental controls and traffic congestion, driver hours, customs requirements, and minimum cost. The complexity of the real-time sche...

This paper presents an unsteady coupled heat transfer model in mine air and surrounding rock mass the presence of distributed sources. The case sources is typical when analyzing temperature distribution excavations equipped with conveyor systems. For this case, asymptotic value at end excavation determined not only by exchange between but also thermal power total airflow. conclusion confirmed e...

This work investigates the dynamics of heavy articulated vehicles and the problem of yawinstability caused by loss of traction. A mathematical model of the system is derived and applied to a typical vehicle used in mine haulage applications. Automatic control, based on differential wheel braking, is explored by simulation and shown to be potentially valuable in improving the safety of such vehi...
