Achieving the higher level of safety and productivity, and improving efficiency of overall management and operation have become a challenge for customers in mining industry.
Among these challenges, having dump trucks efficiently convey the materials excavated by ultra-large hydraulic excavators and the like holds a key to raising productivity.
Hitachi Construction Machinery is introducing an Autonomous Haulage System (AHS), autonomous operation of mining dump trucks with the aim of improving productivity and safety at customers' mining sites.
AHS travels autonomously while stabilizing its body when it avoids obstacles on an unpaved haul road on which other vehicles and machines are coming and going.
