Smart Safety Helmet For Coal Miners
Project Area of Specialization Wearables and ImplantableProject SummaryCoal mining is considered much more dangerous then hard rock mining. Most of the deaths occur in developing countries. Keeping this in mind we design in helmet for the safety of mine workers. The proposed work tells about safety helmet, which is used to avoid the accidents which will cause in the work space with a low-cost sensor. This helmet will help in maintaining the safety of workers and also operational ability of work. This helmet will reduce the safety monitoring costs to the company. We will use a number of sensors, which will continuously monitor the worker health condition minute by minute and will store data collected by sensors. In this helmet, there is GPS, which will provide the location of worker in case he is unable to move, and finding it difficult to locate himself. Sensors provided in the helmet will trigger the alarm in case of hazardous conditions. The supervisor can spectate the workers all the time. The device will always be connected to the internet so the controller of the workers always check the data.
Project Objectives- Flammable gases like methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO), hydrogen (H2) will be detected.
- Toxic gases like carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2).
- Temperature detection
- Gas sensors
- Humidity sensor
- Temperature sensors
- Buzzer
- LCD
- Android toolkit
- GPS
- Arduino
The main purpose of this project is to solve the problems faced in the mining industry. The scope of the project is as follows:
- This smart safety helmet is designed specifically for coal miners of mining industry .
- An emergency and accident alert system is used to combat the worst situations.
- To provide security safety and comfort journey to the coal miner .
- To help the coal miners inside the mines to communicate with the outside world.
- To monitor the conditions inside the mines and intimate the miners in case of emergency.
- Detection of the toxic and poisonous gases.
- To detect pulse in case of unconsciousness
- To measure time interval of miner when will he exit from the mine.
