Abstract

United States federal laws mandate that mining companies ensure a safe workplace, implement approved training programs, and promptly report work-related injuries. The mining industry’s commitment to innovation reflects a history of adopting technological advancements to enhance environmental sustainability, workplace safety, and vocational training. The objective of this research was to develop an augmented reality (AR) system for heavy equipment operators (HEOs) in surface mining. The developed system has the potential to enhance mine safety, training, and data-driven decision-making, which presents a significant step toward a more sustainable, effective, and technologically driven mining training, contributing to the industry’s evolution and growth. The AR Training System leverages Microsoft’s Power Platform and HoloLens 2 capacities to provide operators with detailed, immersive training guides for three mining equipment including bulldozers, motor graders, and end dump trucks. These AR guides combine 3D objects, informative images, and videos to enhance learning and safety. The system also provides an efficient approach to data collection during HEO training, having the potential to modify the training guides based on user performance. The system was developed and applied via a case study in a surface mine in the southern United States.

用于培训露天采矿重型设备操作员的增强现实系统
美国联邦法律规定,矿业公司必须确保工作场所安全,实施经批准的培训计划,并及时报告工伤事故。采矿业对创新的承诺反映了其采用先进技术提高环境可持续性、工作场所安全和职业培训的历史。本研究的目的是为露天采矿业的重型设备操作员(HEOs)开发一个增强现实(AR)系统。所开发的系统具有加强矿山安全、培训和数据驱动决策的潜力,是向更可持续、更有效和技术驱动的采矿培训迈出的重要一步,有助于该行业的发展和增长。AR 培训系统利用微软的 Power Platform 和 HoloLens 2 功能,为操作员提供详细的沉浸式培训指南,适用于推土机、平地机和自卸卡车等三种采矿设备。这些 AR 指南结合了 3D 物体、信息图像和视频,以提高学习效果和安全性。该系统还提供了一种在 HEO 培训期间收集数据的有效方法,有可能根据用户表现修改培训指南。该系统是在美国南部的一个露天矿通过案例研究开发和应用的。
