Abstract: Generally speaking, in order to survey the geological conditions existing ahead of the face, tunnel excavation must be discontinued temporarily, and therefore it is necessary to bore over a long distance in as short a time as possible.

Therefore, time required for all workers to notice occurrence of an event could be as small as the theoretical speed limit for data transmission, namely the speed of...
