In recent years, people pay more and more attention to coal production safety. In order to enhance the security of underground work, optimize the coal mine management, and improve the personnel location accuracy, a newly arisen technique based on ZigBee with the low power, low cost and low complexity, which is suitable for being used to implement personnel position in underground coal mine, is built after comparing with several kinds of major wireless technology. In this paper, we present a new algorithm of underground personnel position based on this new technology. The algorithm uses Gaussian filtering algorithm and Bayesian statistics theory. The algorithm has been tested and the result has been analyzed. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm provides more accurate position than positioning algorithm using RSSI.

Aimed at the frequency gas accident of coal mine, we designed a coal mine gas monitoring system based on Arduino microcontroller. The MQ-4 gas sensor was used to collect gas concentration, wireless ZigBee was used to transfer data of gas concentration to PC. The system can display gas concentration real-timely by LCD and use SD card to store the data. The system will send out sound and light alarm when the gas concentration overruns. Industrial tests have been carried out in Wuyang coal mine. Results show that gas monitoring system can well adapt to environment of underground coal mine and the measurement is accurate. The system is real-time monitoring and early warning. It has the characteristics of low power consumption, low cost, wireless, good market prospect.

In this work, a safe Coal Mine Monitoring system which replaces the traditional coal mine monitoring systems which tend to be wired network systems. This play an important role in coal mine safe production. With continuous enlarging of exploiting areas and extension of depth in coal mine, many laneways become monitoring blind areas, where are lots of hidden dangers. Moreover, it is inconvenient to lay cables which are expensive and consume time. In order to solve the problems, we designed a coal mine safety monitoring system based on wireless sensor network, which can improve the level of monitoring production safety and reduce accident in the coal mine. Zigbee technology provides a direction for scientists who commit to solve the safety monitoring problems of coal mine. The purpose of this study is to propose a solution suitable to mine wireless communication, safety monitoring, give a proof to the further study.

A novel Global Positioning Algorithm for Workers in Underground Coal Mine Based on RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) is proposed and implemented. The innovation of the algorithm is the RSSI optimization and GIS auxiliary positioning. The RSSI optimization can reduces the error caused when the blind code is too closed to the reference node, and GIS auxiliary positioning is to solve the problem that the number of the reference codes in the communication radius of blind code is less than three. Experimental Results Indicate that Global positioning algorithm has the average vertical positioning error less than 4m, the horizontal error less than 1/2 roadway width, and the positioning cycle less than 1s, with better positioning and tracking performance, and expands the coverage of the network of underground positioning.

Received signal strength indication (RSSI) obtained by Medium Access Control (MAC) layer is widely used in range-based and fingerprint location systems due to its low cost and low complexity. However, RSS is affected by noise signals and multi-path, and its positioning performance is not stable. In recent years, many commercial WiFi devices support the acquisition of physical layer channel state information (CSI). CSI is an index that can characterize the signal characteristics with more fine granularity than RSS. Compared with RSS, CSI can avoid the effects of multi-path and noise by analyzing the characteristics of multi-channel sub-carriers. To improve the indoor location accuracy and algorithm efficiency, this paper proposes a hybrid fingerprint location technology based on RSS and CSI. In the off-line phase, to overcome the problems of low positioning accuracy and fingerprint drift caused by signal instability, a methodology based on the Kalman filter and a Gaussian function is proposed to preprocess the RSSI value and CSI amplitude value, and the improved CSI phase is incorporated after the linear transformation. The mutation and noisy data are then effectively eliminated, and the accurate and smoother outputs of the RSSI and CSI values can be achieved. Then, the accurate hybrid fingerprint database is established after dimensionality reduction of the obtained high-dimensional data values. The weighted k-nearest neighbor (WKNN) algorithm is applied to reduce the complexity of the algorithm during the online positioning stage, and the accurate indoor positioning algorithm is accomplished. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm exhibits good performance on anti-noise ability, fusion positioning accuracy, and real-time filtering. Compared with CSI-MIMO, FIFS, and RSSI-based methods, the proposed fusion correction method has higher positioning accuracy and smaller positioning error.

The influence of the coal mine geographic environment on the electromagnetic transmission might result in the difficulty of wireless positioning under the mine. Concerning that the influence of the underground working face on the wireless signal attenuation is mainly reflected through the electricity path attenuated and based on the underground geographic differences, two corresponding electromagnetic loss models are established. Under the conditions of low energy consumption and no need for hardware devices, RISS algorithm is found suitable to be used in the underground coal mine. However, the problems of large error and poor precision still exist. This paper first introduces the standard deviation threshold, TSA, as decided by the practical environment; then compares it with the standard deviation, RSA, obtained by the calculation of every target node to finally obtain the modified value of RSS. Based on that, the BP algorithm is introduced for learning training, improvement of the positioning error rate and the system’s positioning precision.
