Abstract: The paper presents a concept of an unmanned self-propelled vehicle for operation in coal mines as a multi-modular multifunctional unmanned self-propelled wheeled vehicles that are designed using a basic module. Design elements are described for a two-wheel module, which is proposed to be the basis for the multifunctional unmanned self-propelled wheeled vehicle. The proposed design is compared with existing unmanned self-propelled wheeled vehicles stating its advantages and disadvantages. Conclusions are made based on the analysis of the proposed concept, that the described design has the potential to serve as the basis for creating multifunctional unmanned self-propelled vehicles for operation in coal mines in the near future.
Keywords: unmanned self-propelled vehicle, module, basic platform, multi-modular design, multifunctional vehicle, operational safety, coal mine, automatic control system, structure, multi-vector drawbar, propulsion system
