Research on the Mining Personnel Orientation Method Based on the Zigbee and GIS

This paper presents a method to locate the personnel in the coal mine. ZigBee wireless transmission mode is used to transfer the person location information to the groud.location hardware system includes three components, first one is ZigBee terminal mobile node, which is installed on the body of miners, the left is ZigBee router and ZigBee coordinator, which can obtain the wireless power in the miners place, combined with the RSSI ranging algorithm, can obtain the miner location. The software is used to store the information about the historical location information and others, display the miner location on the underground using the GIS technology. The field application result shows the miner location accuracy of this system is about 3 meters, which is helpful for miner management and accident processing.
