“…The start-up time control of the transport units is able to improve the transport efficiency of the underground mines, and the function of the start-up time control is accomplished through the monitoring and control of the ATS system. As early as 2013, Anjomshoa et al, [41] optimized the vehicle schedules in underground mines to control the start of the transport units. In 2016, GEORGESCU [42] made the improvements to the CBTC system based on driver-less technology and Internet of Things technology, and he proposed using the ATS system of the CBTC system to realize the start and stop of the driver-less train.…”

With the continuous development of the mining industry, the world’s major mines have gradually entered the intelligent stage. In intelligent underground mines, the operation roads of the underground transportation equipment are very complicated, and the monitoring and control of the underground traffic have become the problems to be solved in the intelligent underground mines. Therefore, on the basis of solving the practical problems of underground mines, the concept paper discusses the possibility of the communication-based train control (CBTC) system being applied to underground mines through the summary and induction of the related literature. As mining engineers, we have proposed the function design for the CBTC system to solve the problems in underground mine rail transportation, but we still need to continue to work hard for the future development of the underground mines. The concept paper serves as a guide to the Tossing out a brick to get a jade gem, and it has implications for the development and the future of underground mine transportation.

In the intelligent underground mine, the operation road of the underground transportation equipment is very complicated, and the monitoring and control of the underground traffic has become a problem to be solved in the intelligent underground mine.

As the mining engineers, we put forward the concept of this design for the CBTC system in this concept paper, but we need to continue to work hard for the future development of the underground mines. And the concept paper serves as a guide to the Tossing out a brick to get a jade gem, has implications for the development and the future of the underground mine transportation.

“…In this paper, we summarise our two approaches: (i) the simulator we developed (Anjomshoa et al, 2010) to model the movements of vehicles through a mine for specified passing locations; and (ii) a mixed integer programming (MIP) model that we developed to find the optimal locations of passing bays and optimal vehicle schedules. [Full details of the mathematics are given by Anjomshoa (2011) and Anjomshoa et al (2011).] However, our main focus in this paper is to interpret the results from our two approaches as they apply to mine design and operations with haulage trucks or road trains.…”

In many underground mines, haulage vehicles (trucks or road trains) carry ore from underground loading stations to the surface. Vehicles travel in declines with occasional passing bays that allow descending empty vehicles to pull off the main path and wait for ascending laden vehicles to pass. The haulage productivity of a mine is affected by the number of passing bays and their locations. We have developed a simulator and a mixed integer programming model to study the optimal location of passing bays and the associated sizing and scheduling of the haulage fleet. This paper presents some practical implications of our study.
