Research on a coal mine virtual system using Unreal Engine

Abstract

Virtual Mine System (VMS) can promote the productivity, efficiency, and safety in modern coal mines. In this paper, we used Unreal Engine, a mature and reliable game development toolset, as well as optimized technology of BSP (Binary Space Partitioning) and Static Meshes combined with real world data in order to establish a prototype of VMS. This system, which has been used in Dongtan Coal Mines, has high efficiency and quality of 3D visualization for both over ground and underground scenes.Dongtan Coal Mines,has3D visualizationoverground scenes.underground scenes.
