ABSTRACTMSc. ThesisUSING GPS TO IMPROVE SAFETY OF PIT IN OPEN-PIT MININGFurkan Kerem KASADEPARTMENT OF MINING ENGINEERINGINSTITUTE OF NATURAL AND APPLIED SCIENCESUNIVERSITY OF ÇUKUROVASupervisor:Assist.Prof.Dr. Ahmet DAĞYear: 2006, Page: 116Jury: Assoc.Prof.Dr. Alaettin KılıçAssoc.Prof.Dr. Suphi UralAssoc.Prof.Dr. Turgut İkizAssist.Prof.Dr. Ahmet Mahmut KılıçAssist.Prof.Dr. Ahmet DağThis research shows that how modern technologies efficient can practice overmines or more often open pits. About these modern technologies the most commonone in all around the world is the GPS. It is also mentioned and/or described to put into practice over the open pits. In this research, the examples about this technologywhich stands the experiments of other countries and theories are examined. All theseexperiments and theories show the way to use this technology efficiently in our land.With all these, GPS is resrengthed with a software. With this software we can settleGPS technology available in any open pit.If it is considered to establish a GPS technology to an open-pit, with thesecurity unit which has the main essence of our research more than trackigtransportation fleet, a deep study is needed first. Then GPS technology must beunderstood then considered to be established.Key words: GPS, Open Pit, Positioning, SafetyII
