Abstract
‘]
The demand for coal as energy resource is always an important and significant part in our life.
However, over the years many miners have lost their lives by facing accidents during the mining process
due to lack of implementation of technology and monitoring systems. Now with the development of
smart technology even the mining industry is adopting the technology for the safety of the miners. Hence
in this paper, we propose to develop a smart mining helmet that is both safe and convenient for the
miner to use, at the same time it monitors the environment surrounding the miner. At times of
emergency, it alerts the miner along with the coworkers, thus helping them avoid accidents. The helmet
is loaded with temperature and humidity sensors, smoke detectors, gyroscope sensors, and ultrasonic
sensors along with algorithms to simultaneously operate these sensors and alert the miner using a liquid
crystal display, sound module, and buzzer.
Keywords: Sensors, mining helmet, emergency detection, safety, industrial application
