Abstract

For many years now the mining industry has seen boost in exploring and developing the systems for monitoring operational parameters of mining machines, in particular of load-haul-dumping machines. Therefore, further researches on algorithmics have also advanced dynamically regarding effective performance management as well as predictive maintenance. Nonetheless, the issue of road conditions is still being neglected. That issue has substantial impact on both the overall operator’s convenience, their performance and machinery reliability, especially its construction node and tyres damages. Moreover, such negligence pertains also to the maintenance of mine infrastructure, including the network of passages. The paper explains the use of the portable inertial measurement unit (IMU) in evaluating road conditions in the deep underground mine. The detailed descriptions of the road quality classification procedure and bump detection have been included. The paper outlines the basic method of tracking motion trajectory of vehicles and suggests the method of visualisation the results of the road conditions evaluation. This paper covers the sample results collected by the measurements unit in the deep underground mine.
