Abstract:
The paper presents the research results of the stability and loading of the two-axle mine cars and rail tracks with various design for calculation schemes construction of transport systems of underground rail haulage. The dependences of changes in loading, stability and operation safety of rolling stocks from the parameters of irregularities, curvature radii of the rail track and the movement speed of rolling stocks at various technical solutions of the transport system, have been studied. The research results of the interaction between the two-axle mine cars and rail track with the gauge of 750 mm for underground rail haulage are presented. The parameters have been determined of the rail track irregularities in the horizontal and vertical planes, which cause the highest values of vertical and horizontal loads, acting on the rail track and the two-axle rolling stock. The recommendations are proposed for improving the study of the rail vehicles and regulatory documents development for the construction and operation of the track structure. The results can be applied for the underground rail haulage when creating the new vehicles for mines.

Abstract:
By analyzing various factors which influence and constraint roadway construction speed in huaheng coal mine, some improved technical measures about fast construction are introduced, such as improve blasting technology, choose appropriate rock breaking equipment and improve the fast construction supporting facilities, select the right support patterns and scientific construction organization management. Take east roadway in huaheng coal mine as example, there are three key aspects: the method of mucking and haulage, drilling and blasting techniques and supporting technology. In solving the problem of loading and transport, some mechanized equipments such as LW150C bucket loader, SSD(B)20 shuttle mining car and CMJ17A full-hydraulic excavating jumbo are used, and the mechanized organization such as loading, transfer, transport and unloading is innovated. By improving bolt installation construction technology and optimizing construction management to achieve simultaneously operating of multiple procedure, increase drilling speed and shorten mucking time, which improved the roadway excavation speed and security significantly.

Abstract:
Studies conducted on surface coal mining equipment have identified whole-body vibration as a significant hazard. Operators of underground mobile equipment, particularly shuttle cars and transport vehicles, are likely to be exposed to significant levels of whole-body vibration. To date, measuring whole-body vibration from underground mining mobile equipment has been difficult due to the strict guidelines governing the use of electrical equipment in underground mines. This paper presents data obtained from two low-methane coal mines using an iOS application installed on iPod Touch devices. The majority of measurements taken from a range of mobile plant and equipment in use at the underground coal mines exceeded the ISO2631.1 Health Guidance Caution Zone. Further investigations are being undertaken to develop a thorough understanding of whole-body vibration exposures to which operators of mobile equipment used in underground coal mines are exposed and the opportunities for application of this information to assist mine site safety, health and risk management processes.

Abstract:
The authors point at the criticality of timely reproduction of longwall panels in coal mines toward sustainable and high-rate coal mining based on the utilization potential of modern longwall equipment. A case-study of SUEK-Kuzbass mines shows that there is a need to change approaches to improvement of economic efficiency and competitiveness of coal mining and to shift from the common practice of production cost reduction to productivity enhancement through implementation of high-performance equipment capabilities. Efficiency of road heading in mines of SUEK-Kuzbass is analyzed, and the main causes of long downtime in operation of modern high-performance continuous miners (CM) or continuous bolter miners (CBM) are identified. Recommendations have been developed for improved planning of preparatory works in mines and for introduction of significant action time margin to eliminate downtime when actual drivage performance lags behind the planning data. The action time structure of modern CBM is presented, and recommendations are given on CBM efficiency evaluation as actual action time in cutting road face rocks. The application areas of various modern CBM types are justified. Recommendations are proposed for changing the parameters of longwall panels and to change to multi-entry longwall panels in order to increase efficiency of preparatory works and actual coal production. The authors describe expediency of widespread use of shuttle cars to improve efficiency of haulage of rocks and materials. The organizational and technological principles of the efficiency increase in preparatory works in coal mines are substantiated.

Full text
Abstract:
Investigations into problems involving the vibration of conveyances in deep mining shafts have led to the identification of 'slamming' as a significant event in the initiation of large perturbations in the motion of the skip. Slamming occurs when the flexible rollers on the skip which normally act on the guides are inoperative. The primary concern is that this slamming event can give rise to large lateral loads on the shaft steelwork and is therefore a factor which limits the speed at which the skip can be drawn up the shaft. This study extends previous work to investigate the influence of compressive forces in the guides on the response of the skip and the steelwork. These forces are induced as a result of mining operations and lead to a decrease in the transverse stiffness of the guides. A mathematical model of the slamming event is formulated and a numerical solution for a specific case is performed. An alternative simplified solution is discussed and compared to the initial formulation, with the aim of facilitating the use of previous research results. A model to simulate the response of the skip when the skip rollers are functional is formulated, and numerical solutions of different examples are given. An important conclusion is that the compressive forces can significantly reduce the transverse stiffness of the guides, and should be taken into account in future designs. Bibliography: pages 86-88.

Abstract:
Ultra deep mining presents many challenges to the mining engineer, one of which is the logistics to support mining operations quickly and efficiently. Typically, Witwatersrand gold mines operate at depths in excess of 2000 m with stoping taking place to 3500 m and investigations underway to mine to a depth of 5000 m. As mining progresses deeper and further from the shaft, the role of logistics becomes increasingly important if production targets are to be achieved. Access to the workings is often via sub vertical and even tertiary subvertical shaft systems with working faces as far as five kilometers from the shaft. It is inevitable therefore, that distance will negatively impact the working time available at the stope face, material transportation and distribution, as well as the removal of broken ore. Possible solutions to these logistical problems may be found in the use of different transportation systems or by applying sound design and operational principles to transportation systems, both in the horizontal and instope areas. This thesis investigates the challenges of logistics for ultra deep level gold mining in the Witwaterstrand basin for mining layouts planning to mine between 3000 m and 5000 m underground with typical horizontal distances of over 3000 m. The transportation needs analysis recognised that vertical transportation is a wellmanaged and organised system and is mainly the same for both shallow and deep level operations. As a result of this, the thesis only focuses on the logistical issues of the horizontal and in-stope processes. The literature review indicates that the majority of work previously conducted on transportation focused around the area of horizontal transportation with limited inputs to in-stope transportation systems. The review concludes that the traditional locomotive transportation system is the most applicable mode of horizontal transportation. Thus, special emphasis is given to trackbound transportation. An integrated approach is taken towards mine transportation advocating that underground logistics be considered as equally important as any other discipline, Le. rock engineering, ventilation, etc. In addition, the transportation process should consider each area equally important. All to often, the transportation of rock is considered of paramount importance over the transportation of personnel and material. Thus, the planning any transportation system should incorporate personnel, material and rock. To enable this, scheduling, communication and control are important with special attention required for transfer points in the transportation system. As each site has its own particular requirement, thus the final transportation systems must be drawn up based on the specific requirements of each mine. A guideline is proposed for the design of ultra deep level underground transport systems for personnel, material and rock transportation. Thus, providing mining engineers with sufficient information and data to select an appropriate transportation system to meet specific mine requirements. The thesis highlights areas requiring consideration by mine engineers when designing a transportation system from shaft to the working face.

Abstract:
To address concerns of how mobile proximity detection systems will adapt to underground mobile haulage vehicles, researchers have collected and categorized data on the parameters of 145 mine haulage vehicles in 5 categories including load-haul-dump, shuttle car, roof bolter, haul truck, and mobile coal haulage (face drill, production drill, and others.) Statistical methods were used to determine the appropriate representative vehicle for each category. These representative vehicles’ parameters and characteristics could then be used to develop a dynamic model that predicts their dynamic behavior on an underground haulageway surface. These models can be used in conjunction with worker escapability data and/or interaction with other vehicles to provide insight as to whether or not the proximity detection systems will be adequate for the underground mining workplace.

Abstract:
In underground coal mines, miners face the hazard of being struck or pinned by a piece of mobile mining machinery. Proximity detection systems have been developed and are used by the industry to protect miners around these machines by detecting the presence of the miners and automatically issuing warnings or disabling machine motion when a miner is in potentially dangerous proximity. These systems were originally developed for continuous mining machines, slow-moving machines that move on bulldozer-style tracks, and are now mandated by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) to be used on continuous mining machines. These systems are now being adapted to other underground vehicles, such as shuttle cars, scoops, and battery haulers — vehicles that move on rubber tires at much higher speeds. There are concerns that the detection range of these systems may not provide for an adequate stopping distance on these faster moving machines. To address these concerns, researchers have developed a dynamic modeling system to determine the stopping distance of mobile underground coal equipment. This model can be used in conjunction with worker escapability data and/or information on interaction with other vehicles to provide insight into whether or not proximity detection systems will be adequate for the underground mining workplace. This paper details the background, development, and operation of the resulting application software, focusing on the utility of the graphical user interface to visualize the generated data. The refined data developed by this process can then be utilized by mine operators and proximity detection system manufacturers to more accurately determine the detection range needed to provide effective protection for miners working in an underground mining environment.
