Drone safety monitoring systems for Arctic Mining

Programme 2014 - 2020 Kolarctic ENI CBC

Date of latest update: 2023-10-30

Description

Description (EN):

The project deals with safery ensuring of the mining industry workers with the help of the drone technology. The target group are SMEs, and they will be invited to present success stories, priorities and needs and problems that they have encountered in the development, approval and marketing of natural products based on local raw material resources.

Achievements (EN):

Through the DROSAMO market analysis across Kolarctic regions, there were similarities found in terms common requirements from the hazardous industries like: (1) Safety of workers, (2) Optimized Environmental impact assessment (EIA) procedures, (3) Protective and preventive measures, and (4) Need to study the concentration of pollutants in the atmosphere in hazardous environments. Autonomous navigation and mapping demonstrations were tested in an underground mining environment (Using thermal cameras, sensors, SLAM tech, 3D scanners) to detect human beings and conduct 3D navigation of the mine environment. This ensured robust and reliable autonomous navigation in a GPS denied and toxic environment mine to address the safety challenges of workers. Further strategies for collecting data for the EIA process in mines and formulating proactive maintenance strategies in mines were elaborated. To address the challenge on estimating the air pollution levels in Apatity city, the DROSAMO team conducted CFD modelling of atmospheric pollution processes by numerical modeling. This gave good insight analysis of the predicted values of dust concentration levels (dust particle size up to 20 μm).
