RailMac has made significant strides in the field of underground mining trains. The company’s mining trains and intelligent scheduling systems have been successfully applied in multiple mining projects, greatly improving mining transportation efficiency and intelligence
Project Background
Transportation is a critical aspect of underground mining operations. Low efficiency, high labor costs, and significant safety risks plague traditional transportation methods. To meet the demand for efficient, safe, and intelligent mining transportation, RailMac has introduced mining trains and a matching intelligent scheduling system
Technology Implementation
RailMac’s underground mining train project employs a variety of advanced technologies. For example, its intelligent scheduling system uses advanced wireless communication, automatic control, and laser radar technologies to achieve real-time monitoring and intelligent scheduling of mining transportation vehicles. Additionally, the company has developed autonomous driving technology that, through multi-modal perception technology, enables precise identification and adaptation to complex mining environments, significantly enhancing transportation efficiency and safety
Application Outcomes
In the intelligent unmanned transportation system of a certain metal mine, RailMac’s autonomous mining trucks operate in mixed fleets with manned trucks, achieving 24/7 non-stop operations. The efficiency of these autonomous trucks reaches 105.2% of that of manned operations, with a notable fuel-saving rate of over 18%. Moreover, the system is highly adaptable, maintaining efficient operations even in harsh environments and significantly reducing issues caused by perception errors, such as unnecessary braking and deceleration
Future Prospects
As battery technology continues to improve, the range and performance of battery locomotives will increase. Innovations like wireless charging will further enhance their efficiency. Battery locomotives are expected to be widely adopted in rail transport, contributing to sustainable development.
