dc.description.abstract | The cause of energy conservation can be served by increasing the efficiency of large draglines used in surface coal mining. The topic is the application of a training simulator, computer instrumentation and computer simulation to improve dragline operator skill, decrease downtime and optimize the digging strategy of the machine. The training simulator is a TV model system which the trainee controls from simulated cab. Dragline instrumentation is achieved by a computer, a control/display console for their operator and sensors mounted throughout the dragline. The dragline simulation model is a computer program to determine production as a function of overburden properties, dragline specifications and removal strategy. The simulation model used in conjunction with the recorded data from the on board system provides a basis for the evaluation and optimization of dragline operating procedures. The dragline simulator, display and recording system and simulation model were initially developed under contract with the Department of Energy. | en |
