A Wireless Surveillance and Safety System for Mine Workers based


on Zigbee

AIM:
This paper addresses a cost-effective, flexible solution of underground mine workers
safety. Sensors are used for underground environment monitoring and automating progression of
measurement data through digital wireless communication technique is proposed with high
accuracy, smooth control and reliability.

PURPOSE:
Industrial safety is one of the main aspects of industry specially mining industry. In the
mining industry safety is a very vital factor. To avoid any types of unwanted phenomena all
mining industry follows some basic precaution and phenomena. Communication is the main key
factor for any industry today to monitor different parameters and take necessary actions
accordingly to avoid any types of hazards.

DESCRIPTION:
The proposed system is divided into two sections. First is a hardware circuit that will be
attached with the body of the mine workers. This may be preferably fitted with the safety helmet
of the workers also. The circuit has a sensor module consisting of some sensors that measures
real-time underground parameters like temperature, humidity and gas concentration. Gas
concentration is meant for the harmful gases like methane and carbon-monoxide. A
microcontroller is used with the sensors to receive the sensor outputs and to take the necessary
decision. Once temperature is more than the safety level preprogrammed at microcontroller,
microcontroller decodes beep alarms through the headset speaker connected with controller once
the measured humidity value is more than the safety level preprogrammed at microcontroller; it
decodes different type of beep alarms. Similarly when gas concentration crosses the safety level,
microcontroller decodes siren alarms. Different sensors values are displayed in the LCD of mine
workers section. A voice announcement is given when the sensor levels exceed the threshold
levels. In all such cases, this will send an alarm through an urgent message and alarm sound to
the ground control terminal through Zigbee. In control station the information is received by
Zigbee transceiver and the status of the sensors is monitored in the PC.
