IoT Based Smart Helmet for Unsafe Event Detection for Mining Industry

Abstract

The major goal of this project is to design a system that could detect and communicate with the control room in case of an emergency. Methane, CarbonMonoxide and Hydrogen Sulfide gases are hazardous for humans and are present in higher concentrations in mines. This system will help to overcome this problem and help to detect the gases at an early stage. Coal mining can cause several adverse effects on the environment. For instance, Toxic gases may be released into the air, causing suffocation, gas poisoning, roof collapse, and gas explosions. Considering all these viewpoints, the designed system isIoT Based Smart Helmet for Unsafe Event Detection for Mining Industry for monitoring abnormal conditions. Some of the abnormal conditions include the leaking of hazardous gases and rise/fall in temperature and humidity levels. After detecting gases, the next essential step is communicating the collected sensor data to the control room using an appropriate wireless communication module. The features in our system increase the life expectancy of the coal miners by warning them about danger using a buzzer alarm and giving the information to the control room for immediate help.
