The storyboard approach was first developed for surface mining by an EMESRT member company in 2019 to assist with articulating to designers of Proximity Detection Systems (PDS), the functional performance requirements of specific fatal scenarios encountered in a surface mining operational area.
The functional performance scenario storyboards provide a visual and dynamic reference for equipment operators, PDS suppliers, and vehicle interaction improvement project managers as they implement vehicle intervention controls.
The objective is to prevent a person or vehicle causing a Priority Unwanted Event (PUE) in the following three PUE categories resulting in injury or equipment damage:
Please note: The surface scenario storyboards are currently under review.
