9/18/2012 - Contracts and cooperative agreementsA contract to address issues associated with battery selection, use, and charging for the underground coal mining environment, specifically with respect to MINER Act requirements for mine communications and personnel tracking technology.
-
10/1/2011 - Technology NewsThis technology is used to map communications and tracking coverage in underground mines. It is important to know coverage of these systems during a mine emergency.
-
9/1/2011 - Technology NewsPossible benefits of the use of reverse RFID for personnel tracking are: improvements in accuracy, the ability to interface to a variety of mine communications infrastructures, better system survivability, and easier installation and maintenance.
-
1/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper describes two algorithms that can provide greater accuracy for underground miner tracking systems.
-
1/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper introduces algorithms to locate miners with no need for external reference sensors. There are definitions of useful mathematical operations that can be performed on the node coordinates and includes a description of the algorithms.
-
1/1/2009 - Conference papersThis paper introduces two position adjustment methods for mine tracking systems which use a coplanar node-path network mine model as the foundation for their development.
-
2/1/2001 - Reports of InvestigationsThis report summarizes ongoing research aimed at evaluating collision warning systems for surface mining dump trucks.
-
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.
-
5/1/2000 - Reports of InvestigationsResearchers at NIOSH tested a number of commercially available and experimental sensors that monitor obstacles in a vehicle's blind spots.
-
1/1/1992 - Reports of InvestigationsThis report documents the status of a laser-based underground guidance system for tracking and controlling the movements of underground mobile mining equipment.
