Project Summary

The aim of the project is to design a wireless helmet for coal miners using Zigbee wireless technology. Every year miners lose their lives because they don’t have proper equipment’s to counter the worst mine conditions. In previous two years 164 miners lost their lives in Baluchistan and 300 got injured. The initiative of the project is to save human lives. This project has qualities like it detects the gases that are dangerous for human health, it will also measure the humidity in the mine and the persons oxygen level to ensure that he is not inhaling the dangerous gases in excess. This helmet will have a dust mask for safety purpose. In case of harmful condition, the buzzer on the helmet will generate alarm to alert the miners and wireless Zig-Bee will also transmit all the data to base station for quick response. The helmets that had been built earlier were  not advanced and dont provide proprer safety as they were lack of specifications like temperature,humidity and methane sensors and Zigbee to wirelessly to transmit collected data to the base station.

Project Objectives

To provide greater security in coal mining.

Wireless communication and safety monitoring.

Quick response in case of emergency.

Light weight and portable.

Project Implementation Method

The system will compose of powerful primarily Zig-Bee based wireless mine supervising system. The application follows ZigBee Wi-Fi technology to build wireless sensor networks, which will provide real-time surveillance with early-warning intelligence system on temperature, leakage of gas in mining place, health condition of miners and alerting the control station. The gadget is used to lessen capacity safety issues in coal mines so backup security can move in mines for as early as possible for thesafety of human lives.

Benefits of the Project

Safety monitoring of environment for coal miners.

Improved services in coal mining.

Wireless connection security.

Prevent from high temperature, humidity and harmful gases.

Quick searching and able to give the warning.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Zigbee is used for wirless communication which helps to send data to the base station and can save human life.Sensors collect data and transfer it to the arduino and auduino.Arduino takes decision according to the data received and further send it to the zigbee and another zigbee receives it at the base station.
