A Smart Helmet for Mining Industry
Subscribe/Renew Journal
The disasters in underground coal mine are very serious issues today. So the safe production of coal in the mines is important factor to be considered. To improve the safety system in the mines, a communication system must be there, between the workers of the mine, and the control base station. A smart helmet has been developed that is able to detect of hazardous events in the mine industries. Therefore the purpose of the project is to modify an existing mining safety helmet to make the helmet even safer by adding a wireless sensor node network. A mining helmet needs to be modified to improve miner safety by adding intelligence to the helmet. When a miner removes his helmet he needs to be warned. By using IR sensor we can detect it. In the area of mining technology, real-time monitor and control of mine hazard are more complex. Mine safety modules are configured to communicate to ground control or a base station. A real serious issue in mines is hazardous gases. Gas sensor used to detect the various gases present in the environment. Humidity sensor checks humidity. Temperature sensor checks temperature. IOT module used here to update sensor data on web server. Buzzer will beep automatically if sensor value exceed. Sensor related information will be displayed on LCD.
