Abstract: This paper presents a system for measuring the geometry of powered roof support sections (Shield Support Monitoring System, SSMS). The problem of measuring the geometry of powered roof support sections for the purpose of predicting geological hazards during the rock excavation process is presented. Information on the construction and implementation of the SSMS and research at the Budryk Mine is included. The research aimed to evaluate both the precision and accuracy of the measurement apparatus created, as well as to examine how operating conditions affect the system’s usability. An analysis of inclinometer measurement errors in the prototype system was conducted during in situ tests, demonstrating minimal scattering and high sensor accuracy according to the provided data.
