MINE VEHICLE AUTONOMOUS DRIVE CONTROL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240012428 titled 'MINE VEHICLE AUTONOMOUS DRIVE CONTROL

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for autonomously setting the speed scale for a vehicle operating at an underground worksite. The method involves detecting a trigger for speed scale setting, determining the speed scale based on the traffic flow of vehicles at the worksite, and transmitting a speed scale control message to the vehicle. If a trigger for speed scale cancellation is detected based on updated traffic flow information, a speed scale cancel control message is transmitted to the vehicle to indicate the cancellation of the speed scale.

  • The method detects a trigger for speed scale setting for a vehicle operating at an underground worksite.
  • The speed scale for the vehicle is determined based on the traffic flow of vehicles at the worksite.
  • A speed scale control message is transmitted to the vehicle during the execution of a drive order.
  • The speed scale control message includes a speed scale information element indicating the speed scale.
  • If a trigger for speed scale cancellation is detected based on updated traffic flow information, a speed scale cancel control message is transmitted to the vehicle executing the drive order.
  • The speed scale cancel control message indicates the cancellation of the speed scale.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Autonomous vehicles operating at underground worksites.
  • Traffic management systems for underground worksites.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient and safe operation of vehicles at underground worksites.
  • Optimization of traffic flow and speed scales to avoid congestion and accidents.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved safety and efficiency in underground worksite operations.
  • Reduced risk of accidents and congestion.
  • Enhanced control and coordination of vehicles at the worksite.


Original Abstract Submitted

a method includes the steps of detecting a trigger for speed scale setting for a vehicle autonomously operating at an underground worksite and executing a drive order, defining a speed scale for the vehicle on the basis of traffic flow of vehicles at the work site, transmitting a speed scale control message to the vehicle during execution of the drive order, the speed scale control message comprising a speed scale information element indicative of the speed scale, and transmitting, in response to detecting trigger for speed scale cancellation on the basis of updated traffic flow information, a speed scale cancel control message to the vehicle executing the drive order, wherein the speed scale cancel control message indicates cancellation of the speed scale.
