ZIGBEE BASED SMART HELMET FOR MINERS

Abstract: Mining is one of the most hazardous industries, exposing workers to dangerous gases, extreme temperatures, and unsafe working conditions. Traditional safety systems lack real-time monitoring and communication, leading to delayed responses in emergencies. This paper presents a ZigBee-based smart helmet designed for miners, integrating environmental and health monitoring sensors such as gas sensors (MQ-7, MQ-2), temperature sensor (DHT11), and pulse sensor (MAX30100). The system continuously monitors the miner’s condition and transmits real-time data using ZigBee wireless communication to a control station. In case of abnormal conditions, alerts are generated through buzzers and LEDs. This system enhances miner safety, reduces accident risks, and improves emergency response efficiency.
