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.
-
3/1/2001 - Information CircularsWorking in elevated areas near an edge is a common hazard for operators of off-highway mobile mining equipment. Serious injuries involving haulage trucks working at dump sites are examined for the period 1988 to 1997.
-
2/1/2001 - Reports of InvestigationsThis report summarizes ongoing research aimed at evaluating collision warning systems for surface mining dump trucks.
-
8/1/2000 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper discusses the application of global positioning system (GPS) data, accelerometers, and pressure transducers to provide feedback about equipment operations and identify the cause of truck jolts.
-
5/1/2000 - Reports of InvestigationsResearchers at NIOSH tested a number of commercially available and experimental sensors that monitor obstacles in a vehicle's blind spots.
-
11/1/1999 - Conference papersA system that ties acceleration data with Global Positioning System (GPS) data was developed, assembled, and tested to track the frequency and causes of jolting and jarring of heavy equipment operators.
-
9/1/1999 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH studies have focused on off-the-shelf technologies that would enable mine haulage truck drivers to "see" objects and people behind and to the side of a moving vehicle. This paper discusses two types of systems currently available: proximity warni...
-
3/1/1999 - Conference papersAccelerometers and pressure transducers mounted in suspension components can be used to monitor the ride of haulage trucks. When information from a Global Positioning System is recorded at the same time as shock pressures or acceleration date, then the...
-
12/1/1997 - Technology NewsCurrent innovations in Doppler radar technology have led to suggestions by several institutions and manufacturers that new backup alarm systems are available that can replace or augment warning systems for backing operations on large haulage vehicles.
-
1/1/1996 - Conference papersReport on research analyzing single and multiple causes of surface haulage accidents.
