The SmartMine Road Monitoring System (RMS) is the latest technology in maintenance control for tracks, ramps, yards and access ways in mines. By using the RMS, it is possible to locate all defects in mine paths, act to correct them and monitor results, always in real time.
The quality of roads, yards and discharge areas in mines directly affects productivity in the entire exploration operation. Track irregularities are direct causes of tire and equipment wear in moving mechanical equipment operating in the mine.

The RMS solution has an accelerometer installed in its moving equipment, which measures acceleration oscillations when in motion. Such oscillations may be associated to a number of events, like for instance: holes on the track, accentuated curves and noncompliant operation. Data registered in the vehicle are sent to the SmartMine Suite central. The user can visualize the exact places where irregularities related to the graphic interface occur, and promptly act where the problem is.
