Vol. 1 No. 01 (2024): Enhancing Coal Mine Worker Safety Using IOT

Abstract

Coal mining is a hazardous occupation, with workers exposed to numerous risks such as toxic gas leaks, cave-ins, high temperatures, and heavy machinery. Traditional safety measures often fail to provide real-time data, which limits proactive response in dangerous situations. Recent advancements in technology, particularly the integration of LoRa (Long Range) communication modules into safety helmets, offer promising solutions for real-time monitoring and early hazard detection. This paper reviews the development and implementation of safety helmets integrated with LoRa modules for improving coal mine worker safety. We explore the key technologies, the benefits of LoRa communication, and the practical applications of these systems in monitoring worker health, environmental conditions, and overall safety.
