 The maximum speed of suspended monorails in underground mines is limited by national regulations depending on the type of transportation. In Poland, the maximum speed is set at two meters per second, while other countries may allow higher speeds. Increasing the speed could improve efficiency but also lead to greater risks due to higher forces and accelerations. To address this issue, researchers at the Comic Institute of Mining Technology have conducted numerical simulations to analyze the effects of increased speed on the safety of both the crew and the mine infrastructure. They found that the highest loads occurred during emergency braking, so they developed a new algorithm for a sequential emergency brake system. This algorithm can be used to reduce the risk of accidents caused by high-speed monorails. This article was authored by Jerzy Swider, Kamil Swerda, Yaroslav Tkachik and others.
