Design of Monitoring System for Coal Mine Safety Based on Wireless Sensor Network Abstract:

A cost effective ZigBee-based wireless mine supervising system is presented in this article. This scheme used intelligent helmets as voice terminal and ultra-low-power nodes of wireless sensor network. The programme adopted ZigBee wireless technology to build wireless sensor networks, realized real-time surveillance with early-warning intelligence on LPG, FIRE, PANIC in mining area, and used speech communication to reduce potential safety problems in coal production. In recent years, LED miner's helmet are extensively deployed in large and medium-sized coal mines, for their flexibility of light weight and low power .Meanwhile ZigBee based wireless sensor networks are recently investigated due to their remote environment monitoring capabilities. Such a network can easily collect sensor data and transmit them by radio. Combining these two advantages we design a smart new helmet, which enable the helmet as a mobile node of ZigBee wireless sensor networks, gathering parameters from underground timely and quickly. Moreover miners can also exchange information from control centre through wireless speech communication. It is convenient for centralized management to build real-time surveillance on environment parameters, so potential safety problems can be avoid by early-warning intelligence.
