A Smart Helmet for Air Quality and Hazardous Event Detection for the Mining Industry
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
A smart helmet has been developed that is able to detect of hazardous events in the mines industry. In the development of helmet, we have considered the four main types of hazard such as air quality, helmet removal, fire and mercury sensor . The first is the concentration level of the hazardous gases such as CO, SO2, NO2, and particulate matter. The second hazardous event was classified as a miner removing the mining helmet off their head. An IR sensor was developed unsuccessfully but an off-the shelf IR sensor was then used to successfully determine when the helmet is on the miner’s head. The third hazardous event is fire sensor , it is used as a simple and compact device for protection against fire. The module makes use of IR sensor and comparator to detect fire up to a range of 1 metre. The fourth hazardous event is Mercury sensor, which is a very toxic element that is widely spread in the atmosphere, lithosphere, and surface water. Presently mining safety helmets only have the purpose of protecting the miner’s head against potential hazardous bumps. The safety helmets do not have any technology added to it to let miners know when a fellow miner has encountered a hazardous event. In recent years, harvesting technology has played an important role in the area of mine applications. The literature on mines technology is available but very limited.
