An Intelligent Helmet for Miners with Air Quality and Destructive Event Detection using Zigbee
Journal Title: GRD Journal for Engineering - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
An intelligent helmet has been developed to assist the miners working in the mining industry. Harmful events tend to occur in the mining industry that can lead to severe injury or be fatal. LED miner’s helmet is the most commonly used helmet because of light weight and low power consumption. However it does not improve the safety of miners apart from providing illumination. Zigbee wireless sensor networks are used to collect sensor data and transmit them. The zigbee based system is cost effective and details are shared with central control unit. This paper presents a study of the mining environment and its hazards and how a zigbee is used for transmission from miner to ground control system in case of hazardous events.
