• Characteristics of Fugitive Dust Generated from Unpaved Mine Haulage Roads
  12/1/2004 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  Two field surveys were recently conducted to quantify fugitive dust generation and dispersion from truck traffic on unpaved and untreated mine haulage roads.
• Preventing Collisions Involving Surface Mining Equipment: A GPS-based Approach
  4/1/2003 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  Devices 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.
• Technology News 484 - Devices to Monitor Blind Spots Near Large Haulage Equipment
  1/1/2001 - Technology News
  CDC/NIOSH Technology News brief on several technologies available to monitor the blind spots of large haulage equipment.
• Concluding Evaluation of a Continuous Haulage Guidance Sensor
  10/1/1998 - Reports of Investigations
  One of the applications of enabling technology for remote-controlled mining to protect miners is the use of a guidance system on the continuous haulage equipment so that it follows the continuous mining machine that extracts the coal.
• A Guidance Sensor for Continuous Mine Haulage
  10/1/1996 - Conference papers
  Reports on the application of near infrared sensor technology for the automatic guidance of a continuous haulage system
• Safety Analysis of Surface Haulage Accidents
  1/1/1996 - Conference papers
  Report on research analyzing single and multiple causes of surface haulage accidents.
• Teleoperation of a Highwall Mining System
  1/1/1992 - Reports of Investigations
  The U.S. Bureau of Mines developed and tested a teleoperating system to control a new highwall mining system. Surface and production testing proved that the teleoperating system supplied the operator with sufficient sensory information to operate the m...
