METHOD AND CONTROL SYSTEM FOR POSITIONING A MINE VEHICLE

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a control system for positioning a min e vehicle (1). Measurement of a distance travelled by the mine vehicle (1) is based on monitoring rotation of a wheel (3). In the invention, an error caus ed in the distance measurement by wear of the wheel (3) is compensated for automatically when the distance value obtained from monitoring is corrected by a correction factor. The value of the correction factor is updated at predetermined intervals during use.
