Abstract

This study analyzed the characteristics of autonomous driving technology and its applications in underground mines. A literature survey was conducted to review autonomous driving technology classifications, components, and sensors. Moreover, applications of autonomous driving technology for mapping, ore transportation, and safety management in underground mines were analyzed. Introducing autonomous driving technology to the mining industry can improve productivity by automating mining equipments and ensuring worker safety in hazardous areas. The use of autonomous driving technology in the mining industry is expected to increase gradually.

본 연구에서는 자율주행 기술 특징과 지하광산에서의 활용사례들을 분석하였다. 문헌 조사를 통해 자율주행 기술의 분류, 구성요소, 센서들에 관해 정리하였다. 또한, 자율주행 기술이 지하광산의 갱도 맵핑, 광석 운반, 안전관리에 적용된 사례들을 분석하였다. 광업 분야에 자율주행 기술을 도입하면 채광 장비의 자동화를 통해 생산성을 높일 수 있으며, 위험지역에서의 작업자 안전도 확보할 수 있다. 향후 광업 분야에서 자율주행 기술의 활용도가 점차 높아질 것이라 예상된다.
