Project Abstract / Project Idea

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 measures
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 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 mine and alerting the control station. The gadget is used to lessen
capacity safety issues in coal production so backup security can move in mines for safety of
human lives.

Overall this project will serve the purpose for the safety of coal miners. So that they can perform
their work with ease without putting their lives in danger.
