Abstract

Mining is still responsible for many deaths since mines have dangerous environmental conditions including mine collapses, gas emissions, and high temperatures. However, traditional helmets do not provide adequate protection; besides, they cannot analyze miners’ health as well as the environmental hazards. In order to solve this issue, this work presents a predictive safety helmet equipped with several sensors and means of communication. Specifically, the helmet comprises a micro-electro mechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometer for vibration monitoring, a gas sensor for detecting the presence of harmful gases, a heartbeat sensor for assessing workers’ well-being, and a temperature sensor for monitoring the environmental parameters. Additionally, the device is provided with a global positioning system (GPS) module for location determination and a global system for mobile (GSM) module for transmitting alert notifications in case of emergency situations. The collected data is analyzed on an internet of things (IoT)-based system; any signs of danger cause alerts to be sent immediately.
