Ökad säkerhet och minskade utsläpp i gruvindustrin

Blekinge Tekniska Högskola, BTH, och Volvo Construction Equipment ska tillsammans arbeta för att minska utsläppen och för att minska antalet olycksfall i gruvindustrin. Det ska ske genom användandet av autonoma system och helt elektriska maskiner. Till sin hjälp används digitala tvillingar för att simulera olika effekter – en modell som forskarna vid BTH tagit fram.
