Design and Implementation of an Intelligent Safety Helmet for Miners

Mining environments are among the most hazardous workspaces, where rapid response and continuous monitoring can spell the difference between safety and disaster. This paper presents the design, implementation, and testing of an intelligent safety helmet equipped with a suite of sensors—including an ultrasonic sensor to verify proper usage, a temperature sensor, gyroscopic motion detection, and atmospheric sensing—as well as an integrated SOS function for emergencies. The system leverages this sensor data to alert miners and supervisory systems of dangerous conditions. Future implementations propose integrating SIM card connectivity for direct emergency communication, thus reducing response times in critical situations.
