TAGE Idriver collaborates with Ouster LiDAR on solving dust & water misrecognition & obstruction issues in autonomous mining ops

Unmanned mining trucks often cause emergency speed and stop restrictions due to misidentification of dust or water. “The first thing to face is the problem of large dust clouds in the mining area. There is often also water on the roads of mining areas. Due to the specular reflection, some of the point clouds obtained by standard LiDAR will be missing. As a result, the unmanned mining truck judges the water areas as non-driving areas, again causing unmanned mining trucks to often have speed limits and stoppages, which affects normal operation.
