Objective To study the integration of a lorry in an industrial and mining environment. The project will involve: evaluation of the options from the previous study; feasibility testing and development of the obstacle detection system; development of the lorry and fixed station linkup; development of a control station for a fleet of driverless vehicles; design and development of techniques for stabilizing vision sensors; design of architecture of on board computer systems; development of systems for monitoring internal units and transmitting anomaly messages to the control station; improving the performance of the guidance system (speed); and testing a driverless vehicle and the control station. There will be 4 main stages. Firstly, fully automating an off the shelf vehicle involving: development of the navigation system; development of the vehicle control system; development of the on board telecommunication system; development of the safety system; and development of the simulator. The second stage is the control station. It will be a graphics workstation with a telecom facility for dialogue with the lorries. The software will have the following functions: route management; lorry monitoring; and remote loading of trajectories. The third stage is the tests. These will be: laboratory tests; integration; pilot circuit tests; and in mine tests. The fourth stage is the conclusion and final report.
