This article presents the concept of using the DTW algorithm to partially solve the problem of locating LHD (load, haul, dump) in an underground mine. The concept assumes the recognition of characteristics—patterns that are hidden in vibrations recorded by vehicles—in segments of the route in the underground excavation, which under appropriate conditions enables the obtainment of information similar to that obtained through the use of RFID gates. With the use of this solution in practice, there are several problems that are addressed in this article. One of the main issues is the different arrangement of the signal fragments resulting from driving along with characteristic parts of the route (bumps, paving damage, lumps of excavated material, etc.) at different driving speeds. This problem was solved by using a combination of the road quality detection algorithm and the DTW algorithm, which estimates the similarity of time series with different lengths. The concept was developed and pre-tested using a test rig and a constructed wheeled robot, and then validated in the conditions of the KGHM underground copper mine in Poland, where the readings from the typical haulage process of an LHD vehicle were analyzed.
