A Novel Coal Mine Security Monitoring System Based on ZigBee

The paper puts forward a novel coal mine management system to solve the real-time monitoring and highly efficient rescue problems of underground work platforms. The scheme of ZigBee wireless sensor network combined with Controller Area Network (CAN) bus is adopted in this system. ZigBee substation is set at proper intervals in mine laneways to acquire Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) position and gas thickness. And then the information is packed and uploaded to monitoring center by CAN bus. At last it could be processed, saved and displayed in mode of chart show. The system has the functions of miner orientation, attendance management and security monitoring. It can be replanted in other application domains.
