Wireless Communication and Tracking System For AN Underground Mine

This document presents a wireless communication and tracking system using ZigBee technology for underground mines. It introduces the need for reliable monitoring and emergency systems in underground mines. It then reviews literature on existing wireless technologies for underground tracking and communication. The project requirements, methodology and advantages of the proposed ZigBee system are outlined. The system uses ZigBee modules, microcontrollers and a server to create a wireless network for tracking personnel and assets in real-time using RSSI fingerprinting and k-nearest neighbor location estimation.

INTRODUCTION:

• This project presents a system which built on ZigBee Wireless Technology for Real-Time
Underground Personnel and Assets tracking.

• Underground Mining has always been hazardous and risky, which makes the necessity of a
reliable monitoring and emergency communication system a much needed ally for risk
management and safety.

• The past technologies that have been employed for these purposes have been wired systems.
This makes it more complex and expensive to install, operate & maintain.
CONT…

• New Wireless Technological advancements.

• Limitations of GPS Technology for Indoor or Underground Tracking.

• Comparison of existing wireless technology for communication and tracking


undeground.

• ZigBee Wireless Technology.


LITERATURE REVIEW:

• Y. Kawmura, M A Moridi, M. Sharifzadeh, H. Jang (2014) concrete on


underground wireless communication and monitoring system by using wireless
network technology called ZigBee.

• Marcin Uradzinski, Hang Guo, Xiaokang Liu, Min Yu(2017) this paper deals with
the implementation of Indoor Layout of Router Nodes and how indoor
positioning can be implemented. This paper uses RSSI method to monitor the
location.
•
• Omojokun G. Aju(2015) ZigBee is built on existing IEEE 802.15.4 protocol and
therefore combines the IEEE 802.15.4 features and newly added features to meet
required functionalities.

CONT…

Rssi fingerprint database


• 1D Location fingerprinting database is created by placing the nodes along a
strategically placed baseline.
• The RSSI values are measured from 2 nodes simultaneously, which are present in
the nearest vicinity of the client.
• This fingerprint database is stored in the server room.
