Webinar: Improving Mine Safety with an Underground Wireless Positioning System
IEEE South Saskatchewan Section, Young Professionals South Saskatchewan and the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science are pleased to present the webinar on "Improving Mine Safety with an Underground Wireless Positioning System"
Abstract: In May 2019 Saskatchewan Polytechnic, with support from International Minerals Innovation Institute (IMII) began developing an underground wireless positioning system to enhance mine safety. The prototype system had a goal of identifying the positions of people and equipment in an underground mine to within 30 cm of the actual location. This presentation will present an overview of the project, the developed
prototype system, the preliminary results and description of the on-going research. The project news release can be found online: Project News Release
