| Abstract |
This article presents a mathematical method based on Floyd-Warshall and TT algorithms for determining the shortest escape time from a given point to alternative points of an underground mine network. It also aims to find the shortest routes between each pair of the given points. The first point refers to the location of the accident where some miners may be present, while the alternative points show the safe places to which they can escape. The method was implemented in an underground coal mine in Iran. Findings are discussed. |
