IoT-Based Safety Monitoring and Alerting System for Coal Mines

Coal mining is the process of extracting coal from the surface of the earth. Many skilled workers and labourers have died because of there is no early warning system in traditional coal mines and which causes more coal mine accidents. Therefore, in present generation the major challenge is the safety of the mining workers. Thus, the mine safety system should be in such a way that it can provide an immediate alert before any disaster happens. This paper proposes a system which enhance the safety of workers in underground mines by interfacing the different sensors with the help of IOT module. After collecting all the sensor values, they are transmitted to the Arduino, which generates an alert based on the threshold value. This helps the workers recognize that there is a potential problem ahead. For this purpose, a cost-effective IOT-based coal mining and alerting system is immensely helpful for coal mine employees and anyone who is working the coal mine industry.
