Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The coordination of mining and excavation is a key issue of concern for coal production, but the development of excavation technology lags behind the generation of mining technology and cannot meet the needs of modern, large-scale mine production. The geological conditions of coal mines are complex and variable, and intelligent excavation technology has significantly changed the strain scale, deformation time, and stress migration of surrounding rocks. In addition, the construction space of underground tunnels is narrow, there are many disturbances, and the process is complex. The existing excavation equipment cannot meet the requirements of high reliability, high adaptability, high automation, and intelligence. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to showcase new ideas and experimental results in the field of intelligent fast excavation theory and key technology equipment, from theory to practical application.
Related fields include (but are not limited to): the surrounding rock control theory of intelligent rapid excavation systems in coal tunnels, the correlation theory of airborne advanced drilling response and perception while drilling, intelligent excavation equipment positioning and navigation based on multisource information, equipment health perception and risk warning based on big data, and other topics.
This Special Issue will publish high-quality original research papers in the overlapping fields mentioned above.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
