Shovel-truck systems are the most widely employed excavation and material handling systems for surface mining operations. During this process, a high-impact shovel loading operation (HISLO) produces large forces that cause extreme whole body vibrations (WBV) that can severely affect the safety and health of haul truck operators. The research for solution development of this HISLO problem involved the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning for implementing the impact force detection in real time for a multi-pass shovel loading operation. A detailed step-by-step procedure...
