COAL MINE SAFETY SYSTEM WITH ZIGBEE SPECIFICATION

AIM:
To monitor the conditions of coal mine and to protect the coal mine workers in
hazardous leakages and other accidents.
PURPOSE:
Industrial safety is one of the main aspects of industry specially mining industry.
In the mining industry safety is a very vital factor. To avoid any types of unwanted
phenomena all mining industry follows some basic precaution and phenomena.
Communication is the main key factor for any industry today to monitor different
parameters and take necessary actions accordingly to avoid any types of hazards.

DESCRIPTION:

The proposed system is divided into two sections. First is a hardware circuit that will be
attached with the body of the mine workers. This may be preferably fitted with the safety
helmet of the workers also. The circuit has a sensor module consisting of some sensors that
measures real-time underground parameters like temperature, humidity and gas
concentration. Gas concentration is meant for the harmful gases like methane and carbon-
monoxide.

A microcontroller is used with the sensors to receive the sensor outputs and to take the
necessary decision. Once temperature is more than the safety level preprogrammed at
microcontroller, microcontroller decodes beep alarms through the headset speaker
connected with controller once the measured humidity value is more than the safety level
preprogrammed at microcontroller; it decodes different type of beep alarms. Similarly
when gas concentration crosses the safety level, microcontroller decodes siren alarms.
Different sensors values are displayed in the LCD of mine workers section. A voice
announcement is given when the sensor levels exceed the threshold levels. In all such
cases, this will send an alarm through an urgent message and alarm sound to the ground
control terminal through Zigbee. In control station the information is received by Zigbee
transceiver and the status of the sensors is monitored in the PC.
