2/1/2003 - Reports of InvestigationsNIOSH is evaluating methods to decrease accidents including one that uses devices that assist equipment operators in monitoring blind areas around the equipment to prevent collisions with workers on foot or other objects.
-
4/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH researchers used motion analysis data and digital human models to evaluate factors that precipitate struck-by injuries in the operation of remote continuous mining machines.
-
6/1/2008 - Conference papersNIOSH researchers used motion analysis data and digital human models to evaluate factors that precipitate struck-by injuries in the operation of remote continuous mining machines.
-
10/1/2005 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH researchers successfully developed a computer model that generates contact data by means of simulation while exercising the model with several variables associated with the machine and its operator.

4/1/2003 - Peer reviewed journal articlesDevices to monitor the blind areas of mining equipment are needed to provide a warning to operators when a vehicle, person, or change in terrain is nearby. Tests have shown that it is feasible to add proximity warning devices to existing systems.
-
12/1/2001 - Peer reviewed journal articlesDiscusses off-the-shelf technologies for monitoring areas that an equipment operator cannot see from the cab, incl. radar, video, and radio signal detection systems, and their effectiveness in detecting objects near an off-highway dump truck.

Application of Radio-Frequency Identification Systems to Collision Avoidance in Metal/Nonmetal Mines1/1/2001 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNew developments in radio frequency identification (RFID) systems show promise for reducing the number of collisions in mines. This paper describes tests conducted on off-the-shelf RFID systems and the subsequent development of a custom RFID system.
