SMART HELMET FOR MINING INDUSTRY SAFETY SYSTEM
OBJECTIVE
·
The objective of a smart helmet in the mining industry is to
enhance safety, communication, and efficiency for miners. These helmets often
incorporate features such as real-time Monitoring of vital signs, gas Detection,
collision avoidance
APPARATUS REQUIRED
·
MSP430 Microcontroller
·
LCD Display
·
LED Indication
·
Buzzer
·
IR sensor
WORKING PROCESS
·
Sensors can detect harmful gases and assess environmental
conditions like temperature and humidity to ensure safe working conditions.
·
Proximity sensors can alert miners about obstacles,
machinery, or vehicles in their vicinity, preventing accidents
·
Accelerometers can detect sudden movements indicating a fall
and send alerts to supervisors or fellow workers.
·
The helmet might monitor vital signs like heart rate and
oxygen levels, providing early warnings of health issues.
·
Miners can trigger distress signals through the helmet,
alerting others about emergencies.
ADVANTAGES
·
Real-time monitoring of environmental conditions, vital signs
of workers, and potential hazards.
·
It can provide instant alerts for dangerous situations,
improve communication among miners, enhance situational awareness, and
contribute to better decision-making.
·
Additionally, data collected by the helmets can be analysed
to identify patterns and trends, leading to improved safety protocols and
overall risk reduction in mining operations.
