| | operate by line of sight | Explanation:
For example: "The initial steps towards making LHDs driverless have been taken. It is already common practice in underground mines to operate LHDs into unsupported areas (eg, stopes) by line-of-sight remote control. Here, an operator drives the vehicle manually to the brow (entrance) and then dismounts to drive the LHD into the stope by radio remote control. At all times the operator is close-by and can see the LHD."
"A teleoperated LHD, designed and manufactured by Nautilus, was tested at Inco's Birchtree mine.[7] The LHD can be controlled either by line-of-sight or by remote video using a portable control station from Nautilus called the Powercam system." |
