Real-Time Monitoring Wearable for Coal Mine Safety with Enhanced Communication

This paper proposes a hardware- focused wearable safety device optimized for improving safety within coal mining fields. It also integrates an advanced sensor suit to detect toxic gases, climatic factors, and the state of health of miners. Key issues that can be related to underground mining are solved with the help of Sub-GHz RF communication which guarantees dependability of data transmission. This work addresses the issues concerning underlying hardware infrastructure, sensor initialization, and experiment based in real environment. The comparison shows that the proposed system is more effective as a safety measure than conventional structures that are currently implemented in coal mines.
