The Function Design for the Communication-Based Train Control (CBTC) System: How to Solve the Problems in the Underground Mine Rail Transportation?

Abstract

With the continuous development of the mining industry, the world’s major mines have gradually entered the intelligent stage. In intelligent underground mines, the operation roads of the underground transportation equipment are very complicated, and the monitoring and control of the underground traffic have become the problems to be solved in the intelligent underground mines. Therefore, on the basis of solving the practical problems of underground mines, the concept paper discusses the possibility of the communication-based train control (CBTC) system being applied to underground mines through the summary and induction of the related literature. As mining engineers, we have proposed the function design for the CBTC system to solve the problems in underground mine rail transportation, but we still need to continue to work hard for the future development of the underground mines. The concept paper serves as a guide to the Tossing out a brick to get a jade gem, and it has implications for the development and the future of underground mine transportation.

The Recent Progress China Has Made in the Backfill Mining Method, Part II: The Composition and Typical Examples of Backfill Systems

“…In recent years, the rapid development of science and technology in China has promoted the development of the backfill mining method [30,31], the backfill mining method in China has gone through three stages: 1. The first stage (1960 to 1980): Water and sand backfill; 2.…”

The Recent Progress China Has Made in the Backfill Mining Method, Part III: Practical Engineering Problems in Stope and Goaf Backfill

“…China, as a big mining country, although the development of mining technology started slowly, has made rapid progress. In the recent 5 years, more and more mining researchers in China have begun to engage in the research of intelligent mines: Yu et al [1][2][3] have been trying to build an intelligent integrated underground ventilation and transportation system since the end of 2020; Li [4,5] also tried to use a communication-based train control system (CBTC) to realize unmanned rail transportation in underground mines; and Zhao [6] tried to use smart scrapers (LHD) as basic equipment in underground mines. Intelligent mines in China develop rapidly, and the development of intelligent mines also drives the development and progress of backfill mining method.…”
