Smart Helmet for Mining Safety

Abstract

Mining has different dangers because of the dangerous environment characterized by high temperatures, methane gas, carbon dioxide, and other hazardous gases. The regular cases of accidents in mines make it imperative to use modern safety technologies that can shield miners against such hazards. The safety of miners in underground mines needs adequate monitoring and communications. The Smart Helmet is intended to minimize such safety issues by integrating temperature, light, and hazardous gassensor. It has a built-in GSM module that sends SMS notifications to preconfigured numbers in case of emergencies, ensuring timely responses. The Wi-Fi-based monitoring system, which uses a raspberry pi pico w module, retrieves real-time sensor data. provides alert notifications for hazards via an application user interface as well as a buzzer system. The research work described here is an improved safety solution for mine labor because it provides real-time observation of mining conditions, quick solutions during an emergency, alerts. The Smart Helmet improves situation awareness, minimizes the possibility of accidents, providing a pragmatic and trustworthy way of enhancing safety standards in the mining sector. A fan is inserted on helmet for the ventilation purpose.
