The article defines the object of control in the form of signals of current trajectories (CT), along which unmanned vehicles (UMV) move. It describes the subject field of research – the principle and technology of forming the signals generated by the computer-aided system for modal controlling the UMVs during their movement along quarry routes. In order to develop procedures for identifying an upcoming trajectory of the UMV when bypassing some static or dynamic obsta-cles, conditions are included in the software and hardware complex for the formation of the UMV corresponding trajectory direction based on assigned sinusoidal-like frequency-time-dependent functions (chirp signals) responsible for redirecting the UMV along a particular trajectory. The cor-responding chirp signals for the left and right deviation trajectories of the UMV are fixed. The no-tion of sporadic disturbances and force-modal transient processes (TP) is introduced. There has been also reviewed a new description of TP, whose signal contains the variable frequency changing by a certain law depending on the direction and nature of a CT deviation and the environment of UMV. The essence and reasons for the effects of structural and parametric nonstationarity of the control object (CO) are explained. Analytical and graphical interpretations of the emerging non-stationarity caused by the introduction of additional stationary and dynamic-type poles into the CO are presented. It is noted that the stationary poles characterize the inertia of the aperiodic components of the trajectory chirp signals, and the dynamic ones determine the permanently varied frequency of transients (their chirp form). The properties of both sporadic and forced-modal TPs’ poles localized on the complex plane are characterized. Calibration characteristics are determined that establish a relationship between the instantaneous frequency of TP and the metric deviation of UMV CT relative to the nominal axial trajectory. The difference between the procedures of localization and re-localization of poles for modal upward and downward reverse TP, on which the efficiency and safety of UMV moving along the quarry routes, depends, is functionally identified and considered. All the procedures mentioned above make it possible to monitor online and control effectively the dynamics of operative and safe UMV trajectory moving along technological quarry routes in open pit mining

Introduction. Purpose of the work. Within the framework of the computer-aided system, a technology has been formed for the method of controlling the current trajectories (CTs) of unmanned vehicles (UMVs) when they move along routes in a quarry in open pit mining. The purpose of the presented studies is to analyze the application of a wavelet transforms technique to the problem of routing unmanned vehicles when they move along routes within open pit roads. Methodology. The results of modeling certain one-dimensional signals corresponding to the UMV current trajectories when they deviate to the left / right from a nominal axial trajectory (NAT), as well as their time-frequency representations in a wavelet medium are presented. An algorithm of the procedure for displaying scalar UMV CT control signals in a complex medium of time-frequency wavelet transforms has been developed and described. Such a transformation allows for a functionally transparent and information-capacious monitoring of the UMV movement and efficiently manage the processes of trajectory routing dump trucks in an open pit. Research results, analysis. The processes of modifying the UMV movement current trajectories under the control of the computer-aided system are generated using wavelet transforms methods. They are based on algorithms for projecting the trajectory signals with a time-dependent frequency (chirp signals) onto a set of wavelet functions as part of a wavelet thesaurus (wavelet dictionary), executing certain wavelet matching pursuit procedures, and displaying the CT scalar signals in a specific multidimensional medium of Cohen’s class time-frequency distributions. The simulation results in the form of the current trajectory (CT-) signals waveforms and their three-dimensional time-frequency representations as Wigner maps showing the UMV movement in a start-stop mode, as well as the signals of formed continuous deviation trajectories when they leave to the left and to the right from the NAT, are presented. An algorithm for the formation of 3D-representations of UMV current trajectory one-dimensional signals is presented. Conclusion. The conclusion is made that the mathematical technique of wavelet transforms is the most expedient and effective means for computer-aided monitoring and controlling the dynamics of UMV movement along routes within open pit roads.

In the Recent times, various technological enhancements in the field of artificial intelligence and big data has been noticed. This advancements coupled with the evolution of the 5G communication and Internet of Things technologies, has helped in the development in the domain of smart mine construction. The development of unmanned vehicles with enhanced and smart scheduling system for open-pit mine transportation is one such much needed application. Traditional open-pit mining systems, which often cause vehicle delays and congestion, are controlled by human authority. The number of sensors has been used to operate unmanned cars in an open-pit mine. The sensors haves been used to prove the real-time data in large quantity. Using this data, we analyses and create an improved transportation scheduling mechanism so as to optimize the paths for the vehicles. Considering the huge amount the data received and aggregated through various sensors or sources like, the GPS data of the unmanned vehicle, the equipment information, an intelligent, and multi-target, open-pit mine unmanned vehicle schedules model was developed. It is also matched with real open-pit mine product to reduce transport costs, overall unmanned vehicle wait times and fluctuation in ore quality. To resolve the issue of scheduling the transportation, we prefer to use algorithms based on artificial intelligence. In addition to four other models we are proposing a decomposition-based restricted genetic dominance (DBCDP-NSGA-II) algorithm, which retains viable and non-facilitating solutions in small areas in order to improve the convergence, distribution and diversity of traditional high-dimensional multi-objective fast-dominated genetic sorting Algorithms (NSGA-II).

Open pit mining leads to irreversible changes in topographical relief, which makes a return to the original morphology virtually impossible. This is important for quarries that were part of former mining areas. This research presents an innovative approach to the reconstruction of the relief of anthropogenically transformed land on the example of Liban Quarry in Cracow, where operations began before 1873 to 1986. The basis for the reconstructed area was a Topographic Map of Poland with a scale 1:10,000 from 1997, from which a set of data was obtained to perform spatial analyses. The estimation was conducted using the ordinary kriging method, enabling a reconstruction of the morphology of the studied area and presenting it in the form of a hypsometric map and a digital elevation model. The correctness of the modelling was verified by cross-validation and a kriging standard deviation map (SDOK). These revealed low values of estimation errors in the places without contour lines on the base map. The comparison of the obtained maps and model with a Tactical Map of Poland with a scale 1:100,000 from 1934 indicated great similarities. The highest interpolation error value was recorded in the part of the pit where the difference between the actual and reconstructed elevation was about 30 m on average. In the exploited part, the SDOK did not exceed 0.52 m, and in the entire studied area, it reached a maximum of 0.56 m. The proposed approach fulfilled the assumptions of reconstruction, as the analysis revealed elements matching the historic relief in both forms of presentation of the topography of the quarry, on the obtained hypsometric map and on the tactical map. Our study is among the very few in the world concerning the application of geostatistics in the restoration of the relief of land transformed by open pit mining activities.

Introduction. The article presents the results of studies related to the description of the synthesis and further analysis of the dynamic behavior of unmanned vehicles (UMV) operating in coal-mining pits and other mining quarries. The urgency of the discussed study is dictated by the need to create safe and effective conditions for stripping / mining and transportation operations. This is ensured, among other things, by the operation of unmanned heavy-duty dump cars. Research aim is to develop the concept for the formation of route parameters and models of the movement dynamics of vehicles along technological routes. Methodology. The paper describes the technology for generating and processing the signals in control subsystems as parts of both the computer-aided dispatching system and the on-board autonomous ISSN 0536-1028 «Известия вузов. Горный журнал», № 8, 2020 119 control subsystem of the UMV. The methods used in the research include the study of the forms and characteristics of current trajectories (CT) in relation to a nominal axial trajectory (NAT). In this case, a current trajectory of the UMV is considered within the framework of the so-called S-frames, which are generated in the form of geolocations on a working route of the UMV from the mining face to the place of unloading and vice versa. As a variable characterizing the behavior of the UMV on a current trajectory, a 1D-signal with a time-dependent frequency is adopted, the nature of the change of which is determined by the dynamic shape of a CT with regard to the NAT. Results. Such chirp-signals, together with the wavelet transform apparatus introduced into consideration, allow in a semantically transparent and information-rich video graphic form to represent and subject to further processing the signals characterizing a certain UMV current behavior on the route. The obtained parameters of such secondary wavelet representations of the UMV current dynamics (wavelet maps) are further planned to be used in the subsystem for dynamic modal controlling the UMV movement in the opencast mine. Conclusions. The results of the research allow us to form current routes of UMVs movement according to the models based on the analytical tools accompanying the dynamics of the UMV, proposed in the work.

The purpose of this study is to present a number of aspects in the modern concept of computer-aided dynamic modal control of unmanned quarry vehicles in open pit mining. In particular, the software and hardware module that is a part of the “Smart Quarry” global structure deals with the conditions of matching a form of specific current trajectories (their deviation to the left or right of the nominal axial trajectory) to information “trajectory” chirp signals. The study employs the methods of wavelet transforms to convert one-dimensional signals that generate unmanned vehicle current trajectories into the time-frequency distributions of Cohen’s class. The formation of unmanned vehicle current trajectories under their deviation to the left / right from the nominal axial trajectory on straight and curved routes is considered schematically. It is noted that the tracking of unmanned current trajectories on quarry routes is carried out taking into account the nature of trajectory signals. The difference between the introduced dynamic modal control of the unmanned vehicle and the static one is formulated. Some fragments displaying 1D-signals in a wavelet medium are introduced into the autonomous and external control subsystems. The computer-aided control system uses such elements of the wavelet transforms technique as Gabor wavelet functions, the wavelet matching pursuit algorithm, and Cohen’s class time-frequency distributions. The research results in formulating the criteria for forming the unmanned vehicle current trajectories by the control system in the form of its reactions to sporadic disturbances caused by the occurrence of static or dynamic obstacles on a route. The algorithm of dynamic modal control of current trajectories has been developed. The concept of forward and reverse transient processes of signals of unmanned vehicle trajectory deviation has been introduced. The estimation procedure of modal controller parameters has been described. The algorithm has been developed for modal controller matrix recalculation, which has the form of the chain of sequentially implemented matrix procedures. It should be noted in conclusion that a computer-aided system for modal control of current trajectory deviation has been developed on the basis of the performed research. It enables to implement the functions of controlling the dynamics of technological and safe movement of unmanned vehicles along the quarry routes in a conflict environment of open pit mining.

Introduction. It is established that the most effective tool for monitoring and controlling the dynamics of current trajectories (CT) of unmanned vehicles (UMV) when moving along opencast mine routes in open pit mining is the wavelet transforms technique. Methodology. A detailed analysis of the procedures related to the technology of converting 1D-current trajectory signals (CT-signals) into a multidimensional medium of time-frequency distributions (TFD) is carried out. The Wigner distribution is selected as a working distribution for processing CT-signals. This distribution is considered from the point of view of its ability to represent one-dimensional CT-signals of UMV in an information-intensive and functionally transparent format of specific TFDs. Research results and analysis. On the example of curved routes, the nature of the so-called forward and reverse transients of CT-signals of UMV, formed in the subsystems of external and autonomous control (ECSS and ACSS) of unmanned vehicles, is considered. Mathematical tools are described for wavelet transformations: Gabor wavelet functions, the wavelet matching pursuit algorithm (MP-algorithm), and Cohen’s class time-frequency wavelet distributions. Conclusion. The procedures of processing the trajectory signals with using the means mentioned above make it possible to implement effectively the functions of controlling the UMV movement along current trajectories formed by the system on opencast mine routes.
