AHS Interoperability Protocol Mapping Matrix (ISO 15066, SAE J3016, MineStar™ v3.2)

The AHS Interoperability Protocol Mapping Matrix addresses the critical challenge of heterogeneous system integration in autonomous mining ecosystems, where legacy infrastructure, proprietary control platforms (e.g., MineStar™ v3.2), and emerging international standards coexist. ISO 15066 provides human–robot collaboration safety limits—especially relevant during mixed-operation scenarios (e.g., maintenance personnel near autonomous haul trucks)—defining power and force thresholds, risk assessment methodologies, and speed-distance relationships for dynamic separation. SAE J3016 contributes the taxonomy and functional boundaries for automation levels (L0–L5), enabling precise classification of AHS capabilities such as supervised autonomy (L3), geofenced operation (L4), or conditional remote intervention—thereby informing human-machine interface (HMI) design and fallback strategies. MineStar™ v3.2, as an integrated fleet management and vehicle control platform, brings real-world implementation specifics: its API schemas, telemetry protocols (e.g., CAN-based payload/brake status), RTK-GNSS positioning fidelity (<10 cm 2σ), and fleet coordination logic (e.g., dynamic slotting, collision avoidance via V2X broadcast). The mapping matrix reconciles these domains by establishing traceable equivalences—for example, mapping ISO 15066’s 'minimum stopping distance' requirement to MineStar™’s configured emergency brake deceleration profile under SAE J3016 L4 operational design domain (ODD) parameters. This enables unified safety case development, conformance testing against multiple regulatory regimes, and modular system upgrades without full re-architecture.
