Automated rail-haulage system. Final technical report as of November 30, 1982
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6501044
The Automated Rail Haulage System (ARHS) project was originally planned to culminate in the demonstration of a prototype system in an operating underground coal mine. However, program activities were suspended at the completion of the detailed design phase due to budgetary constraints within the government. This document was created primarily by assembling portions of interim phase reports due to a limitation of funds. Chapter 1 presents the background of the program and summarizes the technical accomplishments. Chapter 2 reviews state-of-the-art of automated rail technology in contrast to domestic underground haulage practices. Chapter 3 describes the overall operational strategy and control and architecture of the ARHS. Chapter 4 contains detailed descriptions of the major hardware and software modules of the system. Chapter 5 describes the design verification testing performed on key components and subsystems. Chapter 6 provides a summary of operational, economic and safety benefits anticipated with ARHS implementation. Further detailed information is contained in six appendices.
