It is planned to use up to 50 autonomous dump trucks with a carrying capacity of up to 320 tons. The brand of cars is not opened. Trucks will take the ore from the career to the enrichment factory.
The experiment will last 3 years. The first stage is with a driver, for safety. On the second it will be replaced by a remote operator. And in the third, the car will move using the automated control system under the control of the dispatcher.
The colossal volumes of the cargo base (GOK power will be 70 million tons of ore per year) require a park of hundreds of dump trucks. At such a scale, even insignificant savings on logistics will bring significant benefits.
The place for unmanned technologies is optimal: in fact, a closed area, extreme conditions with a high cost of labor, qualified personnel deficiency, the involvement of which is extremely expensive with a shift method. The only region on the foreseeable perspective where the truck will be able to fully work without the presence of a person in the cabin.
in Australia, hundreds of autonomous trucks work on coal sections and quarries. In Russia & quot; Gazprom Neft & quot; I launched such transportation on the Gydan Peninsula neighboring with Yamal.
