Project Summary
Mining is indispensable to the creation of goods, infrastructure and services which enhance the quality of their lives. As a society we’re blessed to enjoy the many advantages that industry manufactured products provide us by processing these raw materials.
Working in the earth presents many different security and health dangers. Frequently the underground environment is shaky or unpleasant. The mines that are deeper, the more dangerous it could be to be running jobs. There’s oxygen leak that is restricted, and there are challenges related to leaving a mine if a crisis happen.
So here we propose a mining tracking as well as safety system for the mining industry using microcontroller based circuit on the worker helmet. We use rf based circuitry to detect workers moving through the entire mining site. The helmet is integrated with an rf based tracking system which in coordination with the tracker rf systems help provide data over IOT. The system makes use of atmega microcontroller based rf tracker circuitry to receive the data transmitted by worker helmet nodes. This helps map the current location of workers through the entire mining site. Moreover each worker helmet circuit is integrated with a panic/emergency button. This button when pressed shows an emergency sign over the IOT web interface about the worker emergency. This can be used for any emergencies like – toxic gas inhalation, cave ins, physical injury etc. Thus the system ensures mining worker safety using IOT.
Project Objectives
- Creation of IoT mining tracking helmet for safety of miners
- Keeping it cost-friendly and fit for practical use
- Introduction of RF-wireless communication to avoid destructive interference of signals
Project Implementation Method
Modern mines often implement several safety procedures, education and training for workers, health and safety standards, which lead to substantial changes and improvements and safety level both in opencast and underground mining. Mine ventilation system can help in eliminating high risk atmosphere. Primitive techniques to monitor the mining atmosphere can be traced back to the use of canaries and other animals to alert miners, when the atmosphere becomes toxic. Integrating ventilation monitoring system enables mine to intelligently make ventilation changes based on the extensive data, the monitoring system provides.
Benefits of the Project
- Assuring miners safety in case of mining accidents that occurs due to increase in temperature, pressure, force.
- To help the coal miners inside the mines to communicate with the outside world.
- To monitor the conditions inside the mines and intimate the miners in case of emergency.
- GPS is used to track the position of miners.
- Detection of the poisonous gases.
- Alerting the miners whenever the helmet is removed
Technical Details of Final Deliverable
A. Transmitter Section
STEP1: Data corresponding to the sensor modules are collected.
STEP2: Data obtained using the sensor modules are present in the analog form.
STEP3: It is sent to the PIC16F8778 for further processing. STEP4: The values are then digitalized using the ADC present in the PIC which is programmed using the MP Lab software.
STEP5: PIC also contains a UART which relays these values to the wireless transceiver
STEP6: Now, the data is sent across the wireless transceiver to the central console.
B. Receiver Section
STEP1: The wireless transceiver at the receiver end captures the transmitted data.
STEP2: Data is displayed on the control room’s screen. STEP3: The abnormalities are identified and alert signal is provided.
STEP4: Accordingly, help is provided for the miners.
STEP5: In case of emergency the system tracks the position of miners using GPS
