“…The possibility of using VLC with Augmented Reality (AR) technology for an enhanced environmental monitoring, tracking and localization system in the coal mine was also proposed [ 63 ]. A similar concept developed for underground positioning and monitoring system is presented in [ 64 ]. The concept of communicating the ID’s lamp by its LED’s light to the Access Points embedded into the illumination network in [ 64 ] is developed around Arduino PCB and the prototype is tested in the laboratory to prove the concept.…”

The continuous monitoring systems developed for health and safety provisions in underground mines have always been a deep concern in mining activity, since this is one of the most dangerous work activities in the world. All mining activities must follow strict regulations that pose an increased responsibility for the design and implementation of novel technologies aiming to enhance both the workers’ and equipment’s safety in underground mines. Coal mines are some of the most dangerous, with high risk of explosion due to pit gas; therefore, we propose the use of visible light communication for local wireless transmission and optical fiber for remote-cabled transmission. We address, in this article, a complete system comprising real-time personnel tracking and environmental methane measurement, as well as the transmission of data, with a detailed explanation of the complete system and technical description with practical solutions applicable for industrial use.

“…For example, professor Hass coined Li-Fi technology in 2011 and the last decade brought an unexpected number of researches works in this direction [4]. Li-Fi is designed to be a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) and full-duplex transmission that allow mobility, a fully networked communication system, due to the specially designed access points embedded into the lighting fixtures.…”

The visible light communication (VLC) systems are generally considered secure since the light cannot penetrate through solid objects. However, both in the line of sight (LoS) scenarios as well as in non LoS scenarios with wide and strong optical signal, information security must be considered. The conventional information security technologies used for wireless communications based on radio frequency are not suitable to be applied straight for VLCs because of the limited hardware resources, especially for the optical receivers (oRx). In this paper, a study on the VLC security at the physical layer approach based on optical beamforming to achieve secure transmissions for indoor and underground scenarios is presented.

“…Without the light source however, data transfer becomes problematic [4]. Vigorous research regarding effective communication in underground mining environments were conducted using LEDs and photodiodes [5], [6], ZigBee network-based Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) [7] and magnetic induction [8], [9].…”

The safe movement of Light Vehicles (LVs) is jeopardised on underground mine ramps due to the single lane nature of ramp and the use of ramp by Heavy Vehicles (HVs). Two-way traffic flow dynamics in single-lane underground mine haulage ramps do affect productivity of ramp in times of ore transportation from underground to the surface for processing. In this research, we made use of traffic signal lights, Radio Frequency (RF) Transmitters (Tx) and Receivers (Rx) and a traffic signal lights module to safeguard LV motion on underground ramp. Simulation outcomes confirm safe movement of LV in the midst of HV and other LV on the haulage ramp. This development assures of safety of LV and stands to minimise the incidents occurrences rate in mine ramp haulage systems.
