Abstract:
A system for monitoring vehicle dynamics and detecting adverse events during operation is presented. Position sensors attached to a vehicle are configured to identify a vehicle orientation (heading) as well as the vehicle's direction of travel (trajectory). A system controller connected to these position sensors can detect the difference between these two measurements. When the difference between these two measurements exceeds a safety threshold, it can be an indication of a slip event. A slip event can be caused by compromised traction or stability and may lead to a loss of vehicle control. The system controller can be configured to monitor various vehicle dynamics to detect these slip events. The system controller may be configured to track geolocations of slip events to create a database of historical slip events for determining location-based risk factors and prevention of future events.

Claim (Index 1):
A system, comprising:\n a first location sensor mounted to a mining haul truck, the first location sensor having a first known geometrical offset from a center of a rear axle of the mining haul truck; a second location sensor mounted to the mining haul truck, the second location sensor having a second known geometrical offset from the center of the rear axle and a third known geometrical offset from the first location sensor; a wireless communication system configured to transmit data to a central mine dispatch computer system; a display screen; and a controller in communication with the display screen and the wireless communication system, the controller being configured to:\n determine a heading of the mining haul truck by mapping a first vector from a location of the first location sensor to a location of the second location sensor; \n determine a bearing of the mining haul truck by:\n determining a first location of the center of the rear axle using a first location data from the first location sensor and a second location data from the second location sensor, \n determining a second location of the center of the rear axle using a third location data from the first location sensor and a fourth location data from the second location sensor, and \n determining the bearing of the mining haul truck by mapping a second vector from the first location of the center of the rear axle to the second location of the center of the rear axle; \n \n determine that an angular difference between the heading of the mining haul truck and the bearing of the mining haul truck exceeds a threshold angular difference indicating a slide event, \n generate an output at the display screen, wherein the output indicates that a slide event has occurred, and \n transmit a broadcast message, using the wireless communication system, to the central mine dispatch computer system indicating that a slide event has occurred, the broadcast message identifying a location of the mining haul truck.
