Abstract: A method and a system for monitoring the location of a mining vehicle in a mine. The mine includes a first and a second work area. At least one identifier whose exact location is known is arranged in the first work area. The location of the mining vehicle is determined continuously by use of a dead reckoning. The location data, based on the dead reckoning, can be updated by use of the identifier. The location data are transmitted to a mine control system for monitoring the mining vehicle.

Abstract: A method and a system for monitoring the location of a mining vehicle in a mine. The first mine section (18) is provided with a wireless network (10) for data transmission between the mining vehicle (1, 1a, 1b) and the mine control system (11). In addition, the network is used for positioning. In the second mine section (21), the location is determined by means of measuring devices provided in the mining vehicle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and arrangement for preventing the passage of preferably an unmanned mining vehicle. The invention is based on the idea of providing a mining vehicle, such as a loading vehicle, with a mast (7) arranged on its upper outer structure and extending above other portions of the vehicle. In connection with the mast there is provided an emergency stop switch. Furthermore, at the upper portion of a mine gallery, or a similar operating site, is provided a barrier boom reachable to the mast for bordering the accepted travel area of the mining vehicle. If the mining vehicle tries to leave the accepted area, the mast hits the barrier boom and thus triggers the switch arranged in connection with the mast, thereby causing the mining vehicle to stop.
