Project Summary

In our project the main focus is on the miners supervising system, which is based on the cost-effective wireless network. Real time monitoring with initial warning intelligence on harmful gases, temperature detection and humidity and RF module used for information transfer to reduce safety problems in coal mining area for this purpose we develop safety helmet. All these parameters are detected continuously by gas sensor, temperature sensor, and humidity sensor and if they cross the pre-defined limit, then the remote device gets alert as the buzzer will automatically turn on with LCD display shows the status. As the system consisting of microcontroller (Arduino) transmitter and receiver the system can be easily extended. The values of different sensors are continuously transmitted by RF transmitter to the remote monitoring unit which is received by RF receiver module.

Project Objectives

The main objectives of our project are as follows.

1) To detect the content of toxic gases like Methane (CH4) Ethane (C2H6) etc.

2) To Measure the Temperature level.

3) To identify the humidity.

4) To inform the workers about toxic gases on time.

5) To send data wirelessly to the control room.

Project Implementation Method

The implementation of our project (safety helmet for coal mine workers). This helmet is equipped with gas sensor, humidity sensor, temperature sensor. This sensor senses the toxic gases, humidity and temperature in the coal mines and the data is transmitted to the control room wirelessly, through a wireless module called RF Module connected with the helmet. When the toxic gases such as (H2, LPG, CH4, CO, Alcohol) gas concentration also humidity and temperature concentration is beyond the critical level, controller in the control room triggers an alarm and keeps the plant and the workers safe by preventing an upcoming accident.

Benefits of the Project

Following are the benefits of our project.

1) Safety monitoring of the environment.

2) Improved services in coal mining.

3) Providing wireless connection security.

4) Faster checked outin.

5) Prevent from the high temperature, humidity, and harmful gases.

6) Quick searching and can able to give the warming.

7) Cost avoidance.

8) Can be applied to the persons who are working in the under ground

9) Can be applied at any weather conditions. 

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The intelligent security system consists of a helmet. The transmitter section has a microcontroller which receives input from various sections like gas sensor, humidity sensor, and temperature sensor and in certain case when dangerous event occurred then helmet transfer alert towards RF receiver via. RF transmitter. RF (Radio Frequency) receiver receives RF signals produced by RF transmitters fixed on various spots in the coal mine to identify the dangerous gases.

 The helmet section consists of gas, temperature and humidity sensors, RF transmitter for communication and microcontroller. Inputs to the microcontroller are from gas sensor, humidity sensor, temperature sensors outputs, RF Module. MQ-5 is the gas sensor which is able to detect the level of CO, LPG, CH4 gases. 

The receiver section consists of RF module, microcontroller, LCD display screen and buzzer. The receiver section receives the data which is transfer from transmitter section and displays it on the LCD Display screen.
