while in the following year, the operation will increase gradually to include more than three trucks.
all vehicles used are series trucks, and they include radar/laser-based sensors used to collect information and navigate in the mine while regulating the direction and speed of the vehicle. In addition, if an obstacle appears near a truck, it automatically stops and transport management centre is alerted.
