Abstract :

In Underground Mines, Coal Mines, Mineral Extraction Sites, And Tunneling Operations, There Is A Critical Requirement For Intelligent Systems That Can Monitor Environmental Parameters In Real Time And Provide Immediate Alerts During Dangerous Conditions. These Environments Demand Reliable, Wireless, And Automated Solutions Capable Of Ensuring Worker Safety And Preventing Disasters. Traditional Mining Safety Systems Rely On Periodic Manual Inspections And Standalone Detectors, Which Often Fail To Provide Continuous Monitoring Or Timely Alerts, Leading To Delayed Response And Increased Risk To Miners. Furthermore, Conventional Systems Lack Integrated Communication, Remote Monitoring, And Data Analysis Capabilities, Reducing Their Effectiveness In Dynamic Underground Environments. To Address These Challenges, The Proposed Zigbee Mining Safety System Utilizes The ESP32 Microcontroller To Develop An Intelligent And Real-time Safety Monitoring Solution. The System Integrates CO₂ Gas Sensors, DHT11 Temperature And Humidity Sensors, And Vibration Sensors To Continuously Monitor Environmental Conditions Inside Mines. The Collected Data Is Processed By The ESP32 And Transmitted Wirelessly Using Zigbee Communication To A Receiver Module, Where Another ESP32 Displays The Information On An LCD. A Buzzer Provides Immediate Alerts When Any Parameter Exceeds Safe Limits, While IoT Integration Enables Remote Monitoring And Data Logging Through Cloud Platforms. This Smart System Enhances Miner Safety, Enables Early Hazard Detection, Reduces Accident Risks, And Provides A Scalable And Reliable Solution For Modern Mining Safety Management.
