Application of Radio-Frequency Identification Systems to Collision Avoidance in Metal/Nonmetal Mines1/1/2001 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNew developments in radio frequency identification (RFID) systems show promise for reducing the number of collisions in mines. This paper describes tests conducted on off-the-shelf RFID systems and the subsequent development of a custom RFID system.

4/1/1981 - Contract reportsThis report presents test results, data evaluations, and typical system performance expectations based on wireless electromagnetic propagation measurements performed in the MAGMA Copper Company San Manuel mine near Tucson, Arizona during March 30 throug...
-
1/1/1981 - Contract reportsThis report describes the results of a measurement and analysis program to characterize wireless radio transmission in metal-nonmetal mines over a wide frequency range from 0.2 to 1,000 mhz and over a variety of mine environments.
-
This study addresses several engineering and economic facets of possible roll-over protective structure (ROPS) and falling object protection structure (FOPS) requirements in the metal-nonmetal mining industry.
-
9/1/1974 - Contract reportsMeasurements of the absolute value of electromagnetic noise and attenuation along a hoist rope were made in an operating Hard-Rock Mine, Lucky Friday Mine, located near Wallace, Idaho. The specific measured results are given in a number of spectral plot...
-
This handbook was developed to identify available engineering controls that can assist underground and surface metal/nonmetal mining operations in reducing worker exposure to respirable silica dust.
