Automated control of unmanned truck for transport complex of mining industry

Abstract

Abstract The article is devoted to the development of robotized control mining-and-transport complex systems. The description of modern control mining-and-transport complex systems shows that operator control is currently used. During the replacement with robotic control systems, automatic and automated mining-and-transport complex control can be used. It is demonstrated that automated control can be considered the most promising control system. The article presents the advantages of automated control and the disadvantages of operator and automatic control, deals with electric drives of electric propulsion systems, which allows realizing automated mining-and-transport complex control. This electric propulsion system can be built on two or four motor wheels. In the article the authors review the advantages and disadvantages of the two electric propulsion systems, the utility of using the electric drive of all wheels of mining trucks for the implementation of automated control is proven.
