Wearable Smart Jacket for Coal Miners Using IoT

Abstract

Smart wearables are redefining the way people move and behave in real-time. Workers will be alerted to the presence of toxic gases as well as be tracked in the event of an accident if this system is implemented. Additionally, the instrument has sensors for methane and carbon monoxide gases included in its design. The prototype can detect gas in the air, the rate of the miner's breathing, the change in temperature and humidity, and the miner's location at all times. Wi-Fi will be used to transmit all of these parameters to a dynamic internet protocol. Every one of them will be able to make it through the shield. This way, all mineworkers can be monitored, and if something goes wrong, the miner can be rescued as quickly as possible. Using a pulse sensor on the miner's body, the base camp can track the miner's GPS location. It may be necessary to dig a coal mine as soon as possible to save the most people in a disaster. With the help of IoT, we can build a database and, if necessary, communicate with a nearby hospital. Our final consideration will look at market trends and challenges for WHDs to keep in mind.
