Strategy for safe and coordinated operation of unmanned trucks and manned equipment in open-pit coal mine
The unpredictable and uncontrollable nature of manned equipment in open pit mines is an im-portant factor to the safety of unmanned truck transport.A safety coordination operation strategy is pro-posed in terms of exchanging space for safety.The interaction is divided into non-parallel(one static and one dynamic)and parallel(both dynamic)operations.The interaction logic under multi-interactive e-quipment is designed,and a multi-agent simulation is constructed for verification.The results show that the design logic effectively monitors the five potential conflicts and makes the corresponding speed con-trol strategy,which solves all the safety conflicts with manned equipment.Transport efficiency is also improved by about 7.1%under cross-conflict compared to the perceived parking strategy.This study provides some theoretical basis for the safe and normalized operation of unmanned trucks in open pit coal mines.
