Research on the Comprehensive Evaluation Method of Driving Behavior of Mining Truck Drivers in an Open-Pit Mine

Trucking is an important production link in most open-pit mines, and its transportation cost accounts for more than 50% of the total production cost of open-pit mines. The quality of the driver’s driving behavior plays a crucial role in the fine control of the production cost of transportation. Different from the previous evaluation studies of drivers’ driving behavior in open-pit mines, which mainly took safety driving behavior index as a factor variable, this paper puts forward a comprehensive evaluation method of driving behavior of mining truck drivers, which takes both safety driving and transportation cost as factor variables. Taking the mining truck as the research object, firstly, a scientific and reasonable data collection scheme is established, and the data information characterizing the transport state of the mining truck is obtained through data collection and analysis. Secondly, the RKNN algorithm of time series prediction and the wavelet analysis method are used to achieve noise reduction and missing processing of the original data so as to obtain accurate sample data. Then, taking the principal component analysis method as the entry point, through constructing the principal component analysis theory model, the key index system representing safe driving behavior and transportation cost is established to realize the comprehensive evaluation of the driving behavior of mining truck drivers, and the evaluation system of “standard driving”, “prudent driving” and “aggressive driving” of mining truck drivers is formulated. The results show that after noise reduction, the accuracy of mining car operation data can be improved by 7~12%, and the transportation cost can be reduced by about 5% after the driver’s operation behavior is standardized.
