IOT BASED SMART HELMET FOR COAL MINING TRACKING
AIM:
Design and development of IOT based smart helmet for coal mining tracking.
PURPOSE:
Natural hazardous are very common in nature and we can’t avoid them. But coal mine accidents are
made by man and can be prevented. Especially, coal mine workers sacrifices their life while doing their
duty. By adding technology to coal miner’s helmet, we can provide tracking and security to mine
workers. By adding few sensors like temperature, humidity and gas to miner helmet, we can track miners
condition easily through IOT server. The proposed project title is IOT based smart helmet for coal mining
tracking using Arduino.
DESCRIPTION:
WIFI module (ESP8266) connected to Arduino through UART port. Sensors like DHT11, LDR, and
MQ series connected to Arduino digital and analog pins respectively. DC light connected to Arduino
digital output pin through relay.
WORKING:
DHT11 sensor can detect temperature and humidity and it was arranged on top of helmet.
Few gases released in underground coal mines, these gases detected by Mq series sensors like MQ4 for
methane, Mq135 for air quality, MQ2 for carbon monoxide. LDR senses Light and Dark condition and
enable Light when it detects dark. Arduino displays all this information on lcd display and sends
information to IOT server. Monitoring people can track coal mine workers condition based on sensor
values.
