Autonomous Dust Mitigation in Mining and Construction Applications

Abstract

The autonomous dust mitigation m mmmg and construction applications system disclosed herein may comprise a system that automatically detects dust at mmmg and construction sites and dispatches dust mitigation equipment in response to such detections. The dust areas detected may be assigned priorities within the system, and may be addressed or ignored based on various parameters dictating the behavior of the system. If, for example, an area of dust is not currently in use by local equipment, the system may not dispatch equipment to address that area. If, on the other hand, an area of dust is affecting a high priority or high risk area of the site, the system may prioritize the dispatching of dust mitigation equipment to that area over other areas. The system described in the present invention comprises an autonomous dust mitigation system used in mining and construction applications that contains a plurality of sensors, a computing device, a dust area mapping system, a dust area prioritizing system, and a plurality of dust mitigation equipment.
