Patent

CA 2742372

Methods and apparatus for locating and tracking objects in a mining environment are disclosed that include selecting an operational area within which the locations of a plurality of objects are to be determined and tracked over time. Radio transceiver systems and associated display systems provided to the plurality objects are operated to form an adhoc, peer-to-peer network. The relative positions of the various objects are determined by measuring the time-of-flight of radio signals exchanged between various ones of the radio transceiver systems and analyzing the time-of-flight of such exchanged radio signals. The relative positions of at least some of the objects within the operational area are then displayed on the display system.

L'invention concerne des procédés et un appareil pour localiser et repérer des objets dans un environnement minier comprenant la sélection d'une zone opérationnelle dans laquelle les emplacements d'une pluralité d'objets doivent être déterminés et repérés dans le temps. Des systèmes d'émetteurs-récepteurs radio et des systèmes d'affichage associés disposés sur la pluralité d'objets sont exploités pour former un réseau ad hoc poste à poste. Les positions relatives des divers objets sont déterminées par la mesure du temps de vol de signaux radio échangés entre divers systèmes parmi les systèmes d'émetteurs-récepteurs radio et l'analyse du temps de vol de ces signaux radio échangés. Les positions relatives d'au moins certains des objets dans la zone opérationnelle sont ensuite affichées sur le système d'affichage.
