IoT Based Coal Mine Safety System and Monitoring Using Arduino UNO

Abstract

Coal Mining is a dangerous and potentially lethal job. Workers in coal mines face many environment related problems such as high temperature, humidity, release of harmful gases to name a few. As a means of reducing the intensity of the problem, our present work focuses on sensing these environmental parameters from different locations in the mines and sends alert to the mine control room operator who uses a Blynk Application whenever there seems to be a dangerous situation. For this project, a coal mine safety system is implemented by the use of a webpage as a medium to transmit the data. The device is introduced to monitor various parameters inside the coal mines, such as light detection, gas leakage, temperature and humidity conditions, and fire detection. This system of sensors is known as one large device and is mounted in the coal mines. All the sensor rankings are automatically fed into the thinking processors, which generates a multitude of ideas for them to explore. Here, gas monitoring equipment is still running in order to detect any possible issues, and a buzzer is used to warn the staff. Laser-detection (LDR) sensors are used in this framework to detect the presence of light. Automatically lights illuminate when you have them on, and they can be operated using the LED button. To ensure the proper response to any potential fire hazard, a notice is sent to the mail of the designated individual. A collection of constantly measured and recorded temperature values is available as well, shown on the serial monitor and the website platform. Additionally, a vibration sensor is used to detect any movements in the mine
