• Proximity Detection Zones: Designs to Prevent Fatalities Around Continuous Mining Machines
  6/1/2016 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  An article describing the intelligent proximity detection system that uses zones to keep mine workers safe around continuous mining machines.
• Influence of Continuous Mining Arrangements on Respirable Dust Exposures
  3/1/2016 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This article by NIOSH reports and analyzes dust concentrations measured for remote-controlled continuous mining machine operators as well as haulage operators at 10 U.S. underground mines.
• Proximity Detection With Selective Machine Shutdown
  2/15/2016 - Conference proceedings
  This article discusses the development of an intelligent proximity detection (iPD) system which continually tracks the location of miners near a continuous mining machine and disables only those machine that might cause a pinning accident.
