Underground mining is expected to lead the mining industry in the near future. Due to the
advance of electronic devices and communications technologies, new safety regulations …

In the last decade, new developments took place in the area of indoor positioning (or
localization). Since the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) cannot be used in …

Indoor positioning systems provide positioning capability to a wide array of applications.
Although indoor positioning, in general, is challenging, harsh industrial environments pose …

The mining industry is facing a difficult challenge in the coming decades. High grade ore is
becoming increasingly difficult to obtain and production in underground mines is constantly …

This paper proposes a novel personnel positioning scheme for a tunnel network with blind
areas, which compared with most existing schemes offers both low-cost and high-precision …

ABSTRACT The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a reliable, versatile, generally available
and comparatively accurate positioning technology, able to operate anywhere across the …

Localization and tracking of resources on construction jobsites are an emerging area where
the location of materials, labor, and equipment is used to estimate productivity, measure …

A practical localization technology for underground drift networks—such as those excavated
in the practice of underground mining—has yet to become commercially available. This …

The precise localization of an underground mine environment is key to achieving unmanned
and intelligent underground mining. However, in an underground environment, GPS is …

Visible light technology shows great potential in the underground mine positioning today.
Most visible light-based underground positioning technology deploy the receiver, such as …
