Abstract
Underground mines are hazardous environments. With
more and more high-tech machines being introduced in
mines, mine operators are under pressure of keeping
machinery running smoothly as well as maintaining
safety. To address this issue we have developed a remote
guiding system called ReMoTe to allow an offsite expert
to guide and monitor real time an onsite mining operator.
This system brings offsite expertise to operators when
and where it is needed (and in doing so supporting on-the-
job training) and in the same time providing operators
with the ability to monitor their level of stress (self
monitoring) as well as allowing shift supervisor to
remotely monitor their staff stress level. In our view the
combination of these two services is key to increasing the
productivity of the mines while supporting operators’
safety. This paper describes ReMoTe and discusses how
safety concerns are addressed in the design and
evaluation of it.
