Abstract: As one of the most important factors in the production process of open-pit mine, the intelligence of transportation is an important research content of the whole intelligence technology of mine. This paper introduces the composition and classification of the transportation system in open-pit mine. It is clarified that the intelligent transportation system in open-pit mine takes the efficient transportation of coal and rock in open-pit mine as the application scenario and the intelligent transportation equipment as the core carrier. The digital technologies such as the Internet of things, cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, and mobile Internet are integrated with the operating principles and technological requirements of the open-pit mine transportation system. The autonomous collaborative and efficient operation system of equipment, environment and materials in the transportation system is established. And the real-time, accurate and efficient transportation integrated management system that plays a role in a wide range is further established. The components of the intelligent transportation system in open-pit mine mainly include infrastructure, transportation tools and computing technology. It is pointed out that the difference between the traditional transportation system and the intelligent transportation system in open-pit mine lies in that the intelligent transportation system takes improving the safety and efficiency of field production operation as the goal. The service object is changed from the original production management personnel to the production operating personnel. The research and application status of intelligent transportation system in open-pit mine in China are summarized from five aspects, including intelligent infrastructure, intelligent equipment, intelligent management and control, intelligent maintenance and intelligent design. The key technologies of the truck transportation system and the belt conveyor transportation system in the open-pit mine to realize the intelligence are analyzed in this paper. The key technologies of intelligent truck transportation include environment perception technology for complex road conditions in mines, line control transformation technology for unmanned driving truck, multi-objective intelligent scheduling technology, and intelligent collaboration technology for manned-unmanned mixed equipment group. The key technologies of intelligent belt conveyor transportation include autonomous traverse technology of belt conveyor in working face, transportation technology of self-moving large-angle belt conveyor, operation control technology of belt conveyor, on-line status detection technology of belt conveyor, intelligent inspection technology of belt conveyor, unmanned maintenance technology of belt conveyor, intelligent management and control platform of belt conveyor transportation system. It is pointed out that the development trend of intelligent transportation in open-pit mine is continuous, unmanned, low-carbon, efficient coordination and intrinsic safety.
