A Cost Effective Method for Determining the Position of Mine Haul Road Defects from the Road Edge

A Cost Effective Method for Determining the Position of Mine Haul Road Defects from the Road Edge

This paper describes a simple method for estimating haul road defect positions from alongside roads. It is a method that is cheap and easy to implement, needing only a minimal amount of field equipment and training. Observers are required to estimate the bearing and distance to a defect, and to reco...
