DEFINITION OF DATA REQUIRED FOR AUTOMATIC CONTROL OF MOBILE MINING MACHINE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for defining an environment model and route for the purpose of arranging automatic control of a mobile mining machine.In the method, an initialisation point is defined for the definition of the environment model in a first area. Data for the environment model are defined on the basis of first location data, when driving the mining machine from the first area to a second area, the first location data being relative to said initialisation point. Data for route points of the route are defined by using at least some of the environment model data and second location data obtained when driving the mining machine between the second and first areas, the second location data being relative to said initialisation point. The data defining the route are stored for use in automatically controlling the mining machine.
