  1. Location Tracking System & Sensor Based Communications For Mining Response to RIN 1219-AB44

  2. Targeted Technologies • Wireless Networks • Sensors • Applications (Software) • Robots • Communications • Integrated Systems

  3. Wireless Mesh Networks • Distributed Self Configuring • Fully distributed and autonomous setup for easier deployment • Distributed Self Healing • Fully distributed and autonomous alternative route generation • Heterogeneous Wired / Wireless Mesh Network • Multiple network types • Location Tracking • Nearby Triangulation

  4. Wireless Networks • Adaptive Communication Protocol • Normal Operation - low power, battery saving, low maintenance, closest node listening • Emergency Mode - high power, max. bandwidth, active any node listening • Network Segments Can Function Independently • Entrapped or Segmented Network function • Multiple Edge Node Entry Points • Multiple paths out to surface

  5. Hardware • Sensors Subsystem Prototype • CO, CO2 CH4 and O2 Sensing Subsystem Safety Certified Infrastructure Node • Human Proximity, Temperature, Light, Sound, Motion, Vibration • Communications Protocol • Two Way Collison Free Communications • Intrinsically Safe High Powered Low Frequency Radio Communication • Wearable Mobile Node Send/Receive • User can send messages with buttons • User can read text or graphical messages on a small screen

  6. Applications • Location Tracking • Integration of triangulated position with database and management software • Server Side Management Software • Display Miner Positions Plotted on a Map • Transmit Warning Messages to mobile nodes • Manage and Display Sensor Data • Monitor Network Status • Web Portal • Multiple Stakeholder Access • Owners, Operators, Inspectors, Regulators, First Responders, Search & Rescue • Blackbox • Nodes store sensor snapshots after a emergency activation for later investigation

  7. Applications • Safety Guidance • Automatically send instructions to mobile nodes guiding people to safe zones based on infrastructure sensors • Automatic Hazard Detection • Detect abnormal sensor readings as well as people traffic • Accident Analysis • Advanced Blackbox functionality • Collect and Display Disaster Data to help isolate and analyze dangerous, or structurally unsafe regions • Robotic Control Wirelessly via Network

  8. Robots • Mapping • Borehole wet or dry hole sonar or laser range based geometric scanner • Unmanned Rover with laser mapping • Man pack for daily mapping • Search & Rescue • Reestablish Wireless Network • Location Aware • Sensor Network or Current/Prior mapping • Sensors: • Supplies: SCSRs, Oxygen breathers, medical, water, food • Interchangeable Payloads

  9. Benefits • Reliable Resilient Communications • Real Time Condition Reports • Sensor Network Initiated Instructions • Documentation of Event • Immediacy of Response • Peace of Mind

  10. Results • Information Availability • Timeliness • Accuracy • Professionalism • Rescue Effort Coordination • Productivity
