Innovative and human-centred design in underground coalmining: a new concept vehicle for safe personnel transport

澳大利亚的煤矿工人每天在地下道路系统上通勤，通向长墙，那里是他们可以开始工作的地方，乘坐的车辆按地面标准来看是原始的。这些现有车辆造成采矿人员的短期和长期伤害。该项目将为创新的地下运兵车制定基准标准，通过减少伤害率和确保工人的舒适来促进更安全和更健康的工作环境。该项目通过创新和“以人为本”的设计，为澳大利亚地区和国际矿业部门的煤矿工人的健康和福利做出贡献。

Australian coalminers commute daily on a system of underground roads to the ‘longwall’, the site where their work can begin, in vehicles that are primitive by aboveground standards. These current vehicles contribute to short- and long-term injuries amongst mining personnel. This project will develop benchmark standards for an innovative underground personnel carrier that promotes a safer and healthier working environment by contributing to reduced injury rates and ensuring the comfort of workers. This project contributes to the health and welfare of coalminers in regional Australia and in the international mining sector through innovative and ’human-centred’ design.
