Powered haulage remains one of the leading causes of fatal accidents and severe property damage in open-pit mining operations. Over the last two decades, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)-based vehicle tracking, Collision Avoidance Systems (CAS) technologies, smartphone-sensor solutions, telematics-driven ticketing and tracking systems, and intelligent fleet management systems have been increasingly deployed to mitigate such risks (Hrica et al., 2022; Moniri-Morad et al., 2024). This paper presents a mini literature review that examines the contributions, technological components, and limitations of GNSS-based electronic tracking systems (ETS) to haul-truck safety from an occupational health and safety (OHS) perspective. Powered haulage risk profiles, GNSS/ETS architectures, case studies and sensor-fusion approaches have been discussed under thematic subheadings. It is emphasized the scarcity of Turkish studies on GNSS-based tracking and collision avoidance in surface mines and propose policy and research directions for integrating ETS into OHS management in the context of Law No. 6331.

Açık ocak madenciliğinde kamyon taşımacılığı (powered haulage), ölümcül iş kazaları ve yüksek maddi kayıpların en önemli kaynaklarından biri olmaya devam etmektedir. Son yirmi yılda küresel uydu konumlama sistemleri (Global Navigation Satellite Systems, GNSS) tabanlı araç takip sistemleri, çarpışma uyarı ve önleme sistemleri (Collision Avoidance Systems, CAS) teknolojileri, akıllı telefon sensörleri, telematik tabanlı biletleme-izleme çözümleri ve zekâ destekli filo yönetim sistemleri, bu riskleri azaltmak amacıyla giderek daha yaygın biçimde kullanılmaktadır (Hrica et al., 2022; Moniri-Morad et al., 2024). Bu çalışma, GNSS temelli elektronik takip sistemlerinin açık ocak kamyon trafiği güvenliğine katkılarını, teknolojik bileşenlerini ve sınırlılıklarını iş sağlığı ve güvenliği (İSG) odağında sistematik olarak irdeleyen bir derlemedir. Powered haulage risk profili, GNSS/ETS (Elektronik Takip Sistemleri, ETS) mimarisi, uygulama örnekleri ve sensör füzyonu başlıkları altında seçilmiş çalışmalar tartışılmıştır. Türkiye’de GNSS tabanlı araç takip ve çarpışma önleme sistemlerine ilişkin bilimsel yayınların sınırlılığı vurgulanmış; 6331 sayılı Kanun bağlamında açık ocaklarda ETS–İSG entegrasyonuna yönelik politika ve araştırma önerileri sunulmuştur.
