“…Jo and Khan [23] also used an Arduino-based setup with multiple sensor nodes that transmit the data via ZigBee to a base station; their system tracks eight different parameters, but they determined the concentrations of methane (CH 4 ), CO, sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), and H 2 S as being the most dangerous. Other works focus on similar setups, with most of them agreeing on measuring CO and CH 4 concentrations [24][25][26].…”

Suspended monorails are a common mode of transportation for materials and personnel in underground mines. The goal of the EU-funded project “Innovative High Efficiency Power System for Machines and Devices, Increasing the Level of Work Safety in Underground Mining Excavations (HEETII)” is to introduce a single-wire energy transmission system combined with a capacitive-coupling-based wireless transmission system to power the suspended tractor, along with a monitoring system that will monitor the energy network and additional environmental parameters of the mine. Additionally, the monitoring system acts as the wireless communication backbone, allowing for data transmission to surface headquarters, where the data are processed and logged in a central database. This enables operators to detect and take preemptive measures to prevent potential hazards in the mine, improving the overall efficiency of the energy transmission system. This paper describes the additional considerations required for electrical systems in underground mines with potentially explosive atmospheres, as well as the design of the energy transmission system and the monitoring system.
