Smart Helmet for Hazardous event Detection and Evaluation in mining Industries using wireless communication

Abstract

A smart system is being proposed here, that is able to detect and evaluate air quality (Toxic gases) and Hazardous events in the underground mining industry. It gives a new method of analysing hazardous events happening in the mining such as Methane, Propane, Butane, Benzene, Carbon monoxide and other toxic gases. This paper which gives detail description of a system to evaluate the concentration of hazardous gases. This system is developed with ARM processor apart from this the proposed system will indicate the helmet position on the person as well as any external input on the helmet and, To measure these events suitable sensors are used; will collect the information from the underground mining interfacing with ARM processor with ZigBee transmitting unit, then send to the ZigBee monitoring unit this system will provide the early warning or information to the miner, which it is helpful to all miners who inside the mine to save their life before something happens.
