Abstract: Based on the comprehensive understanding of the coal mining and the research on GIS and the emergency rescue technology for coal mine disasters, with GIS as the development platform, a visualization emergency rescue management information system for coal mine disasters is established by applying the principles of management information system and MapX control. This system includes a rich database and knowledge base, gives a dynamic display on the map of the information closely related to the mine-disaster relief such as the underground danger sources, working face, disaster avoiding route, disaster affected area and distribution of communication and disaster-relief equipment, and can realize a remote interactive aid, thus providing a powerful technical support to the prevention and handling of coal mine disasters and benefiting the improvement of the anti-disaster and disaster relieve ability of coal mining enterprises.
