Smart Coal Mine Safety & Monitoring System

Abstract

In the present generation, the safety of the mining workers is a major challenge. As days pass by, the use of coal is expanding step by step. Therefore, the number of workers for coal mining also increases. The mining safety system should be in such a way that it can provide a hazard-free working environment. There is no early warning system in place to detect the dangerous cause of coal mine accidents and give an alert system. This venture chiefly guarantees that it can give better working conditions to the laborers and lessen the mishap rate. This paper proposes interfacing different sensors to make a monitoring system for the laborers' safety in the mining industry. This can identify the different boundaries like dampness, temperature, noxious gas level noticeable all around, and the vibrations delivered in the functioning region. For these boundaries, various sorts of sensors which at that point, associated with the Arduino are utilized. The values collected by the sensors are transmitted to the Arduino computing environment. The sensor-based alert system works in terms of the threshold value. Consequently, the mobile phone's GSM module raises an alert to workers that can follow precautions and be careful, and also if the sensors exceed the threshold, then a buzzer and red led will be in an active state. Through this, the workers can understand that there is some problem ahead. Through this, the smart coal mine protection and surveillance system are designed for the mining workers. This project is not only useful for the coal mine workers but also will be very useful for everyone who is working in the mining industry.
