How Do Miners Navigate Underground

Mining sites can sometimes stand for miles underground with multiple offshoots and tunnels. Most mining operations worldwide use the manual tracking system and two-way radios to keep track of where miners’ locations are. When miners need to work throughout the mine, they contact the dispatch officer and get directions throughout the mining site. In large work areas it can be more difficult to pinpoint the location of a miner and this is where systems like leaky feeder communications are crucial to keeping miners safe.

Electronic tracking systems are now required in many mines throughout the USA. These tags aid in rescue operations and they can be a tool for navigation throughout the mining site. The latest method uses Wi-Fi and GPS tracking throughout a mine using radios and devices that are present on miners. Node-based tracking technology will show where a miner is based off of the area where they are accessing the signal. The radio which is carried by the miner and the distance to the nodes will triangulate where the miner is located.

This solution can also be used for navigational and inertial guidance in machinery throughout a mine. Artificial intelligence and smart systems are using these algorithms to deliver a Wi-Fi based level of localization and control. What this could mean is that we could one day get better tracking on assets and people in mines as well as have the option of placing easy navigation pins for equipment relocation and AI controlled devices. While mines have commonly struggled maintaining a quality Wi-Fi signal or GPS signal, the latest technology opts for a stronger solution that can be maintained even in poor conditions or an emergency.
