Poland plans to increase its output of hard coal to between 205,000,000 and 210,000,000 tons by 1980. To achieve this target, it will be necessary to adopt highly advanced mechanization and automation techniques, and to maximize transport capacity on main haulage levels. Increasing the concentration of coal production imposes severe demands on haulage systems, particularly on existing haulage levels. To overcome this, a highly automated transport system has been developed. A decision was made to plan and purchase in 1974 an automatic horizontal haulage system for the 720-meter level in the Staszic mine near Katowice. The introduction of the system had the following objectives: Increase haulage capacity; reduce work force; and improve safety. The automation system comprises: Remote control of loading; unloading of the trains; and automatic train control on the line between the loading stations and the unloading station. When this two-stage development is completed, three remote-controlled trains will move 10,000 tons of coal every 14 hours.
