The invention provides an underground positioning and
safety monitoring system on the basis of a communication network, which comprises a ground control center, a plurality of personnel positioning terminals, a plurality of short message positioning terminals, a plurality of
voice communication positioning terminals, a plurality of
wireless positioning base stations and a
base station gateway. The personnel positioning terminals carry out timing on broadcast signals by broadcast bands; the
base station gateway or the
wireless base stations receive the broadcast signals, acquire contents and the
signal strengths of the broadcast signals, encapsulate information according to a protocol, transmit the information to the ground control center by the network for positioning
processing, and acquire corresponding position information; meanwhile, a mobile node adopts a timing POLL mechanism to receive a downlink command of a
data center so as to realize bidirectional
data transmission, and a network
base station controls illumination equipment to realize energy-saving production according to existence or non-existence of the mobile node in a current region. The underground positioning and
safety monitoring system has the characteristics of high reliability, simplicity in construction and accuracy in position.
