Zigbee Based Underground Mines Parameter Monitoring System for Rescue and Protection

Abstract

This paper based on continuous monitoring underground coal mines parameter such as carbon monoxide, temperature, water level and use wireless Zigbee technology for communication. A microcontroller based system is used for collecting and storing data using respective sensors and making decision accordingly, based on which the mine worker is informed through different alarm tone as well as LED display system. The communication system is reliable based on zigbee, IEEE 802.15.4 standard. This is used for transmission between the hardware circuit fitted in the local site(mines) and the remote monitoring site (computer)through routers. This system is highly beneficial for rescue and protection of miners.
