A SITUATIONAL AWARENESS SYSTEM OF A CYBER-PHYSICAL HYBRID ELECTRIC AUTONOMOUS OR SEMI-AUTONOMOUS OFF-HIGHWAY DUMP TRUCK FOR SURFACE MINING INDUSTRY

摘要

A situational awareness system for an off-highway dump truck which is arranged for surface mining, the dump truck including a cyber-physical system, wherein the situational awareness system is configured to generate an imaging dataset for processing by the cyber-physical system for enabling semi-autonomous or autonomous operational mode of the dump truck, wherein the situational awareness system includes a sensory system with a first electro-optical unit, a lower deck unit, a second electro-optical unit configured for imaging a ground area in a direct vicinity of the dump truck, a dump body inspection unit, a radar unit, and a third electro-optical unit, wherein the situational awareness system further includes a data synchronization system configured to synchronize the imaging dataset obtained by means of each unit of the sensory system, wherein the data synchronization system is configured to provide the synchronized imaging dataset to the cyber-physical system of the dump truck.
