IOT Based Smart Helmet for Coal Mining Tracking

Energy production remains heavily reliant on the coal mining industry, yet this sector poses significant occupational hazards to miners, including exposure to toxic gases, temperature, air pollution and various accidents. The IoT enabled Smart Helmet for Coal Mine Workers represents an innovative solution that was conceived and implemented in this research study. The helmet is equipped with a suite of sensors, such as temperature, humidity, and gas sensors, designed to detect harmful substances and environmental changes. These sensors continuously collect real-time data, which is transmitted wirelessly to a centralized monitoring system. This research paper thoroughly explores the design, features, benefits, and underlying IoT architecture of the Smart Helmet. By incorporating this model, the coal mining industry advances toward adopting safer, more sustainable, and environmentally responsible mining practices.
