The Road Condition Monitor (RCM) is a real-time maintenance management system used by mine sites to monitor road conditions, prioritize maintenance works, improve operational efficiencies and lower the cost per ton hauled.

The road condition monitoring system provides full site mapping, showing the quality of road sections in a simple color scale format. The distinctive colors, green, yellow, orange and red indicate different levels of severity allowing maintenance locations to be brought to attention for site action; therefore, optimizing maintenance allocation. The entire system is non-invasive and can be rolled out on site with minimal effort.

Why use it?

The RCM is a innovative cost-effective solution for all mine sites. Poorly maintained roads have a wide range of effects that include; decreased production, increased fuel burn, increased mechanical wear, unsafe operating conditions, driver discomfort and higher rolling resistances. By implementing the RCM system, site can expect to obtain:

• Non Subjective method for maintenance allocation

• Improve Water Cart Cycle Times

• Optimize Maintenance Schedules

• Reduce Operating Costs

• Improve Operational Safety 

• Improve Tire Life

• Optimize Wet Weather Recovery
