The effective training of operators of complex mining equipment entrenches safety and optimises production tonnage. The haul truck fleet is the life blood of surface mining operations and its safe and efficient operation is essential to mine profitability. The CYBERMINE range of haul truck / dump truck simulators promote safety of operation and attain consistently high levels of operator efficiency by using state-of-the-art simulator training techniques.
The simulated cab accurately replicates the interior of the actual vehicle. The student operates from a driver's seat, surrounded by instruments and controls positioned at ergonomically correct locations. The driver’s interface is accurate down to steering and braking systems, lights, horn, indicators, pedals and gauges.
The system is delivered standard with a highly realistic, operating open pit mine world in which to operate. This simulated 3D mine comes complete with artificially intelligent shovels, excavators, dozers and other support equipment, together with pit, dump and crusher areas. All simulated vehicle behavioural dynamics are based on detailed mathematical models that use vehicle manufacturer specifications to provide accurate behavioural realism. As a result, full loading, hauling, reversing and dumping capability is included with each haul truck simulation. Exercises may be configured for various training options, including different loads, loading methods, weather conditions, night driving, sub-system failures and advanced emergency situations. All aspects of the driver’s loading, hauling and dumping operations are continuously monitored and recorded by the simulation system, including adherence to safety procedures, response to emergency situations and failures, driving techniques and productivity. These performance reports together with the instructor’s after-action review capability provide a complete training and evaluation system.
Highly efficient and effective training is therefore realised on the simulator system with no loss of production and no danger of accidents, even in the most complex of emergency situations.
