Application of Wireless Sensor Network in the Monitoring and Control System of Coal Mine Safety

Current coal mine monitoring system can only be extended in the main lanes, but the underground work place is still a blind area, where is closely linked to the miner's lives. To solve this problem and avoid more accidents, an advanced monitoring and control system based on wireless sensor network is designed , wireless sensor network is adopted to monitor the work place environment and transfer the data of CO, CH4, temperature, humidity, light and etc. This paper introduces the principle of the system and the way to make it into reality.
