Integrated Mine Safety Monitoring and Alerting System for Coal Mine

Abstract

Recently, in coal mine accidents have caused huge economic losses. Performance of global mining industry increases operational efficiency and improve overall mining safety. This paper proposes coal mine safety monitoring and controlling system based on Zigbee wireless sensor network. The monitoring system collects temperature, humidity, fire, earth quake and methane values underground of coal mine through Zigbee sensor hubs around the mine and transmits the information to ARM. The transmitter section sends the data to the ground through Ethernet, and then monitoring centre monitors the data and sends through LAN for the remote users. Public can access through internet to acquire the information related to the coal mine. Coal mine safety system will monitoring and control automatically and the performance has also been measured and analysed. Proposed coal mine system can reduce the costs efficiently and control the hazard automatically.
