Abstract:
Accidents involving trucks in underground mines present a significant safety concern, often resulting in injuries, fatalities, and operational disruptions. This project aims to address this critical issue by designing an advanced anti-collision system tailored specifically for trucks
operating in underground mine environments. The primary objective is to minimize the risk of
collisions and enhance overall safety within the mine site.
This anti-collision system leverages a combination of cutting-edge technologies, including
ultrasonic sensor. By integrating these technologies, the system will provide real-time
monitoring and detection of potential collision hazards, such as other vehicles, stationary objects,
tunnel walls or personnel, within the mine's confined spaces.
Key features of the system include precise truck dynamic obstacle detection, and automatic
braking for collision avoidance strategies, audible warning system using a sound buzzer, display
warnings on the LCD and the LEDs, a communication module for sending of messages to
management for truck driver behaviors. Through continuous data analysis and predictive
modeling, the system will be capable of anticipating collision risks and initiating proactive
measures to prevent accidents before they occur.
The design process involves thorough consideration of the unique challenges posed by
underground mining environments, including limited visibility, uneven terrain, and restricted
maneuvering space. Human factors such as operator interface and user experience is carefully
integrated into the design to ensure ease of use and acceptance by truck operators.
