INTELLIGENT HELMET FOR COAL MINERS USING ZIGBEE TECHNOLOGY

disasters are common in coal mine because of complexity in nature of the environment. Such disasters include suffocation, gas poisoning, roof collapse and gas explosions. Such calamities cause loss extremely important lives and money. Hence safety is the priority work in the mine. The main objective of the project is to design a wireless helmet for coal miners using ZigBee wireless technology. An intelligent helmet is used as a system with sensor network. The system adapted a ZigBee module to keep an early check on various parameters like methane, carbon monoxide, temperature and humidity inside the mine. The values sensed by the sensors will be displayed on a computer which will be located in the central control room which will monitor the conditions inside the mine on a continuous basis. This design will help the centralized management to check the real time environment parameters so as to take safety steps in advance.
