Abstract

This report presents general functional safety principles and how they can be implemented to mining environment. Functional safety is related to safety functions and operations applying sensors, control systems and actuators. Safe operation in mines requires good situational awareness, navigation capabilities and communication between units. Examples of common safety functions of autonomous mobile machines in mines are described. In practice, many functional safety features are needed to ensure overall functional safety requirements. One new option for communication is 5G technology. Safety and cybersecurity risks of communication are presented in general level.
