【 摘 要 】

We built and tested a vehicle (people) tracking system. The system detects and identifies moving objects when they approach within a distance of 20 to 30 feet from a beacon that designates the location. A test vehicle and its location identities were transmitted to Transteks in-mine wireless communications system. This system, in turn, relayed the information to a desktop monitor. While the system functioned as required, it is recommended that a variation of the system in which the beacon and sensor are replaced with an RFID pair be investigated. This would eliminate the need to power the transponder device on the vehicle, or person, as the device would receive the energy from the location identifier beacon positioned at a fixed location.
