abstract="By examining the requirements of tunnel workers, a multifunctional tunnel protective clothing was proposed in this study. The traditional tunnel protective clothing was redesigned from the perspective of improving clothing structure and fabric. A safe and protective clothing system, incorporating a harmful gas detection module, position monitoring module and data transmission module, was developed. <br><br>OBJECTIVE evaluation tests were carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed protective clothing. During the medium-intensity exercise phase, the average skin temperature and humidity of the participants who wore the new protective clothing were 1.0725 °C and 2.6% lower, respectively, than those who wore the conventional protective clothing (P<0.05). Furthermore, the new protective clothing system exhibited a highly sensitive and complete feedback mechanism. The positioning error could be controlled within ±10 cm, when the horizontal spacing distance of the base station was set to 200 m.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
