Abstract: A system 10 for controlling operation of a vehicle 12 in a defined area 14 includes a perimeter 16 defining a boundary of the defined area 14. A user interface 18 is provided for at least one of controlling and monitoring movement of the vehicle 12 as it traverses the area 14 and monitoring the location of the vehicle 12 relative to the perimeter 16. The system 10 further includes a controller 26 to which the vehicle 12 is responsive, the vehicle 12 having a plurality of modes of operation, one of which is an autonomous mode and another of which is an operator controlled mode. The controller 26 is operative, when the vehicle 12 is operating in the autonomous mode and the vehicle comes within a predetermined range of the perimeter, to inhibit the vehicle 12 from crossing the perimeter 16 and, when the vehicle 12 is operating in the operator controlled mode or is converted from autonomous mode to operator controlled mode, to permit the vehicle 12 to cross the perimeter 16 under control of the operator.

Abstract: A METHOD OF, AND A SYSTEM FOR, CONTROLLING A DRILLING OPERATION A system 10 for controlling a drilling operation in a mine by a drill rig 12 includes a sensor pack, located on the drill rig for sensing data relating to the drilling operation, and a receiver 16 for receiving the sensed data. A processor 18 is in communication with the receiver 16, the processor 18 processing the sensed data to estimate at least one geological property of interest of a zone 20 in which the drill rig 12 is active. The processor 18 is configured to operate as a decision engine 22 to determine automatically whether the drilling operation is able to be optimise by changing at least one drilling related parameter during the drilling operation based on the at least one geological property of interest. The decision engine 22 makes the determination based on changing at least one of two drilling related parameters. 60 C)C40 \34 32 j11Z966 fjg~.j 14 Fi 00

Abstract: A method of surveying and a surveying system A surveying system (10) includes a data storage system (12) containing survey data defining a terrain model (14) of a region (16). A processor module (18) is configured to interrogate the data storage system (12) automatically to assess characteristics of the survey data to determine whether or not the survey data require updating and to provide instructions automatically to scanning equipment (26), (28) to scan the region (16) to provide updated survey data to the processor module (18) to enable the processor module (18) to update the terrain model (14).

Abstract: This disclosure relates to scheduling by a processor the supply a consumable liquid to a mobile machine, such as the supply of water to a blasthole drill. The processor receives from the one or more mobile machines status information relative to a machine cycle. The machine cycle comprises one or more first periods where supply of the consumable liquid is preferred. The processor then determines based on the status information the supply schedule to supply the liquid to the one or more machines during their respective one or more first periods. The supply schedule is determined such that the supply schedule reduces the likelihood that any of the one or more mobile machines has an insufficient amount of the consumable liquid available. This method reduces downtime of the mobile machines because liquid is supplied during the preferred periods while reducing the likelihood of running out of liquid.
