Abstract: Facing the problem of experimental measurement of a torque that a motor vehicle driver applies on the steering wheel, it is required to study the devices prepared for this purpose. In the current market we can already find some tools with this aim, such as the dynamometric steering wheel. The exact measurement of the strength obtained in the steering wheel when making it turn is of great importance, due to the fact that all motor vehicles in use have to comply with the Directive 70/311/EEC, in which it is specified the maximum value of the force pressed on the steering wheel of any vehicle when performing a change of direction. As a consequence, in spite of the existence of available devices, it is advisable to follow the research on different measurement methods, since opting for the dynamometric steering wheel can raise costs and has an apparent lack of precision. Therefore, in this paper a new method of measuring torque in a motor vehicle is implemented, so that the use of the alrea

Abstract: Automation is known as one of the most powerful tools for enhancing the mine productivity and safety. Automated mining machineries are so complex and capital intensive assets which need comprehensive maintenance, support and logistic planning to be able to meet their desired production goals. There are several technical, operational and safety challenges in the maintenance of this kind of machinery which force the mining companies to take the advanced solutions for increasing the maintenance quality and reducing the downtimes as much as possible. In this paper firstly the various automation modes of mining machinery are reviewed briefly. Thereafter, regarding to literature review and some field observation, three maintenance challenges are presented and discussed: safety of maintenance crew, maintenance big data and asset integration problems in mine automation systems. Considering the operational difficulties and safety issues the intelligent Reliability Centered Maintenance (iRCM) an
