8/26/2013 - Technology NewsThis Technology News describes a new visual warning system that reduces the risk of underground mine workers being struck-by or pinned by mobile mining equipment such as the continuous mining machine (CMM).
-
9/28/2012 - News articlesNIOSH is developing a prototype intelligent system that provides enhanced protection by continuously monitoring miners’ positions in relation to the machine and established safety zones.
-
5/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH studied methods to prevent workers from being entangled in machinery at mining operations. A description of intelligent video, the technology, test procedures and results, implementation challenges, and future research needs are discussed.

2/1/2010 - Information CircularsThis report describes a study of operator movement relative to the motion of a roof bolting machine boom arm. This work was aimed at reducing the risk of injury to underground coal mine workers from moving machinery.
-
5/1/2005 - Information CircularsThis report examines the boom arm vertical speed for roof bolting machines to study a moving boom arm appendage at different speeds during different work scenarios. The goal of this study is to determine the impact of the appendage speed on the likeliho...

3/1/2004 - Information CircularsThis report documents the code development of special features for a computer model, random virtual human motions and behaviors, which made it possible for researchers to study hazardous interactions, such as contacts between the operator and machine.
-
1/1/2003 - Conference papersComputer human modeling was used to examine machine appendage speed. The objective was to determine the impact of roof bolter machine appendage speed on the likelihood of the operator coming in contact with the appendage.
-
4/1/2002 - Conference papersThe first part of this paper is a review of several new techniques developed to facilitate the manipulation, noise reduction, storage and reuse of captured data, which have a potential to reduce the overall cost of motion simulation and improve its real...
