WHAT IS GPS?
Global Positioning System (GPS) is a radio based
navigational system used to determine exact
position.
It was developed by the department of defense
(USA).
Many countries now have their own regional or
global positioning system e.g. Russia- GLONASS,
EU - Galileo; china – Bei Deu; India – IRNSS
(under development).

It is a
“constellation
” of 32 Earth-
orbiting
satellites
that can
provide
continuous
three-
dimensional
positioning
24 hrs a day
throughout
the world.

APPLICATION OF GPS IN MINING:
Surveying
Pre-blast survey and blast locations.
High precision machine control.
Hazard avoidance
Truck fleet management
Collision avoidance.

SURVEYING
Most mines now use RTK GPS systems for
surveying.
GPS considerably speeds up the surveying
process and reduces the time surveyors are in the
field often in vulnerable locations.
GPS system gives an absolute position, the
tedious process of establishing field control points
is entirely eliminated.

SURVEYING
Advantages:
No line of sight required.
No weather restrictions.
Satellite surveying can be one person job, saving
time and labour.
Base lines of hundreds of kilometres may be
observed thereby removing the need for extensive
geodetic networks of conventional observations.

HIGH PRECISION MACHINE CONTROL
High precision guidance systems are fitted to the
mining equipment.
The systems are accurate enough to eliminate
the need for survey design pegs in the field.
machines record the positions that they have
worked and so build a gridfile of the completed
job. This can be turned into an “as-built” drawing
– all without ever having a surveyor in the field.

HIGH PRECISION MACHINE CONTROL
a) Dozers - Complete earth moving jobs can be
done without the need for field survey pegging;
sophisticated stripping design can be
implemented that provides for the optimal
efficient movement of material, with GPS guiding
the operator as to where to move the material
and how far to push it.
b) Drills - Information generated from drilling
can be logged onto GPS systems on excavation
equipment.

HIGH PRECISION MACHINE CONTROL
c) Hydraulic Excavators:
can be used to design grades on benches,
knowing the position of the excavator bucket.
Accurate selective mining of mineralized
horizons.
Reducing overdig, or lost coal.

HIGH PRECISION MACHINE CONTROL
Advantages:
Productivity gains
Elimination of mistakes and rework
Elimination of field survey
high recovery
lower dilution of the valuable mineral
added operators' confidence.

HAZARD AVOIDANCE
hazardous openings is
encountered in many
open pits where the deposit
has been previously mined
by underground methods.
[Link] Call/Whatsapp- 8804777500 [Link]/[Link]
HAZARD AVOIDANCE
GPS systems can be set up to warn the operator
of site hazards.
The dozer can be fitted with a cab computer
which shows the dozer in its true position on a
map of the site.
It is also possible to set up the dozer so that it
automatically broadcasts an assistance required
signal at the operators command or if it is tilted
beyond a preset angle. The signal from the
machine can include its position, making it easy
to find.

DIGITAL TERRAIN MODEL MANAGEMENT
A digital terrain model is a digital model or 3D
representation of a terrain's surface.
It requires determination of the base points
which can be fed to a computer to calculate DTM.
RTK GPS can be use to calculate the parameters
of the base points

TRUCK FLEET MANAGEMENT
Trucks can be assigned to different loading
machines in real time to improve overall
efficiency.
The central control station knows at all times the
whereabouts of each truck in the fleet.
Stand alone GPS is generally adequate for this
task.

COLLISION AVOIDANCE
If all mobile vehicles are fitted with GPS and
telemetry systems, they can continuously report
their position to a central control base.
Software at the base can then analyse the data
and warn when two vehicles are on a collision
course.
This technology is deployed with the with civilian
air flights in crowded air corridors.

RELIABILITY
The accuracy of GPS can be from a few
centimeters to a few meters.
The reliability of GPS can be undermined by
selective availability.
Selective availability is the deliberate
introduction of error in the positioning system.
DGPS and RTK GPS can negate the effect of SA.
