Lora Based Coal Mine Safety Monitoring and Security System Using Smart Helmet

Abstract

The process of removing coal from the earth is called coal mining. Coal is used as fuel by the steel and cement industries to extract iron from iron ore and to make cement. The category that includes the underground mining business includes all factors that require routine monitoring, including methane gas, high temperatures, fire accidents, and so on. The safe production level of coal mines is still low, and frequent tragedies there result in significant losses of life and property. It is crucial to keep an eye on the working conditions in coal mines since the variety of work done there and the complexity of the mine environment are the main causes of disasters. The coal mine based on LoRa Long-Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) technology is used by the Safety Monitoring and Security System to improve security and safety in coal mines. This system incorporates cutting-edge sensors to continuously monitor the surrounding environment, gas concentrations, and worker welfare. LoRa enables seamless communication and quick identification of potential risks because to its long range capabilities.
