One of the main concerns in underground working tunnels is ensuring the safety of the workers and their equipment. Being aware of the real-time position of personnel in such harsh environment is challenging and requires a sophisticated localization system. With traditional Received Signal Strength (RSS) failing to accurately estimate the distance between nodes due to multipath effect in such long and narrow space, Radio Frequency Time-of-Flight (RF-TOF) is proved to be an alternative method for more accurate distance estimation. To reduce the communication cost, a distributed localization scheme is proposed, where a simple Newton Iteration location estimation algorithm is embedded in the blind node. Linear least square estimation is used as the initial value to accelerate the convergence of the iteration. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

“…A comprehensive review of the primary ranging methods and localization algorithms used for indoor WSN is presented in [9]. In particular, UWB localization has been studied in [10][11] [12]. However, those work focus on systems with full UWB network backbone, which does not apply directly to our existing system.…”

Abstract-A safety monitoring and accident warning system for underground construction site has been designed in our previous work based on wireless sensor network. Real-time localization of mobile targets is crucial for tracking the related incidents. However, the current RSSI-based localization approach struggles to achieve the required performance. This is due to the limited ranging accuracy of RSSI devices. In this paper, we investigate various ways of improving the localization accuracy and propose our solution of a hybrid UWB-assisted approach. We argue that a hybrid UWB-assisted RSSI ranging has the best overall performance for our application. We show with both mathematical analysis and demonstration system that, instead of implementing a full UWB network, our approach can improve the accuracy to our desired level with only a small number of additional UWB anchor nodes.

In order to solve the personal injury accidents when the vehicle drives in the mine, this paper designs and developments an vehicle collision-avoidance system based on UWB Wireless Sensor Networks which can solve the personal injury accidents. The UWB is an emerging technology designed at short range and high transmission rate which can offer a fine resolution to evaluate distance. This paper presents the vehicle collision-avoidance system composition which consists of both the hardware composition and software design. It also presents the principle of ranging algorithm which is used to implement the function of vehicle collision-avoidance. The vehicle collision-avoidance system has been tested in the mine and the personal injury accidents have greatly decreased. Therefore, the system will have a fine application prospects in mine.
