The Use of RFID Technology in Mines for Identification and Localization of Persons

This article deals with a description of system for identification and localization of people in explosive atmospheres, particularly in the coal mine. The article describes the design of hardware and software system, designed to increase safety in the mining environment. Specification of the system is made and on its basis, the proper hardware and software resources are chosen, suitable for implementing an information system for identification and localization of people, with regard to the requirements of the application in the mine environment. Currently, the system is under development, with regard to the selection of RFID equipment and software realization.
