Development of an Integrated Safety Monitoring System for Coal Miners using Smart Helmets

The Smart Helmet for Coal Mining through IoT Monitoring project is to improve safety and efficiency in coal mining operations by integrating IoT technology into conventional mining helmets. Coal mining is a dangerous occupation that often takes place in challenging environments, making it crucial to monitor worker safety and environmental conditions. The realization of the smart helmet project, featuring an array of sensors such as DHT11 and MQ135 and IoT functionalities, has ushered in a new era of workplace safety. This innovative device continuously monitors vital parameters like temperature, humidity, and gas levels in real-time inside the coal mine, safeguarding the health and security of workers across various industries. The data collected by these sensors will be wirelessly transmitted to a central monitoring system (CMS) using IoT protocols. The CMS also acts as a centralized dashboard for supervisors and safety personnel to oversee environmental conditions about potential hazards. The platform displays the real time readings of the temperature, humidity, and gas level in the mine environment also with visualization tools like graph for easy analysis and interpretation.
