Wireless Surveillance and Safety System Using for Mine Workers

Abstract

The safety of mine workers in hazardous environments is a critical concern due to the risks associated with toxic gases, extreme temperatures, and structural instability. Traditional safety measures often lack real-time monitoring capabilities, leading to delayed emergency response. This paper reviews the advancements in wireless surveillance and safety systems designed for underground mining operations. The proposed system leverages wireless sensor networks and IoT technology to continuously monitor environmental parameters such as gas concentrations, temperature variations, and worker movement patterns. In case of anomalies, automated alerts are sent to control centers, enabling swift intervention. By ensuring seamless data transmission between underground and surface units, this approach enhances worker safety while optimizing operational efficiency. This review examines existing research on IoT-based mining safety solutions, evaluates their effectiveness, and explores future developments for more robust and reliable monitoring systems.
