Safety Monitoring System for Mining Applications Using Raspberry Pi

Abstract

A smart helmet has been developed that is able to detect hazardous events in the mine industry. In the development of the helmet we have considered the hazards such as detection of hazardous gases, obstacle detection, helmet on/off and Water level detection. These sensors data is transmitted using wireless communication module that is ZigBee which is connected to 8051 microcontroller. At receiver section one more ZigBee is connected to the Raspberry Pi board which is used to display the data in PC.
