MINING WORKER SAFETY HELMET

Abstract

This project addresses a cost-effective, flexible solution of underground mine workers’ safety. A module of MEMS and temperature-based sensors are used for underground environment monitoring and automating progression of measurement data through IOT communication technique is proposed with high accuracy, smooth control and reliability. Arduino microcontroller is used for collecting data and making decision, based on which the mine worker is informed through server. Sensor data transforms into digital signal and effectively communicate wirelessly with the ground control centre computer.

Existing System

Proposed System

Modern mines often implement several safety procedures, education and training for workers, health and safety standards, which lead to substantial changes and improvements and safety level both in opencast and underground mining. Mine ventilation system can help in eliminating high risk atmosphere. Primitive techniques to monitor the mining atmosphere can be traced back to the use of canaries and other animals to alert miners, when the atmosphere becomes toxic. Integrating ventilation monitoring system enables mine to intelligently make ventilation changes based on the extensive data, the monitoring system provides. In this project, we have gas sensor and temperature sensor. When the temperature is high, the sensor sends immediate notification to the main communication area. This work has to be by the Internet of Things. Similarly, the temperature has to notify the changes in the temperature and it will send alert messages to the user.
