The development of an accurate positioning system for use in underground mining is a difficult problem that has not yet been realized. There are a number of significant problems such as the harsh mining environment, multi-path problems, non-line of sight, etc. that make developing an accurate positioning systems difficult. Technological advances in the areas of ultra-wideband technologies show promise in being able to overcome some of these difficulties. This project will work to develop a real-time location system (RTLS) that is able to accurately position workers and equipment within an underground environment. This technology will lead to enhanced worker safety and equipment positioning within the mine.

开发用于地下采矿的精确定位系统是一个尚未实现的难题。 采矿环境恶劣、多路径问题、非视距问题等使得开发精确的定位系统变得困难。 超宽带技术领域的技术进步显示出能够克服其中一些困难的希望。 该项目将致力于开发一个实时定位系统（RTLS），该系统能够在地下环境中准确定位工人和设备。 这项技术将提高工人的安全性和矿井内的设备定位。
