Abstract

Development of underground coal mines is reflected in increasing lengths of transport routes between shafts and workplaces. This is not an issue in terms of transportation of materials or groups of people, because suspended railways are efficient, safe, and fast mean of transport. However, transportation of individual people or small loads is an issue because of the lack of a means of individual transport and the high cost of transport using suspended railways. The development of individual means of transport, based on historical solutions, utilizes existing equipment of mine workings. This paper presents the stages of development of an underground bike, from the original idea to tests and analysis. The development process consists of simulations of different parameters of the bike using Working Model software and real-life tests conducted in an underground mine. The paper also presents analysis of the legal background of this new means of individual transport.
