Optimized operator compartment. Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7117588
This project required the application of modern human engineering technology to effect a reduction of human error and a reduction of accidents associated with underground mining equipment. The specific problem was to develop optimized operator compartments that could be fitted to the following electric face equipment: Loaders, continuous miners, shuttle cars, roof bolters, face drills, cutters, and scoops. In all, 89 models of various types of underground electric face equipment are included in this study. The drawings are intended to be used as guidelines and not fabrication-type drawings. Three mockups were constructed to illustrate the principles of the optimized operator compartments.
