| TITLE | MineGuard: Emergency Survival Jacket for Mines Using IoT |
|---|---|
| ABSTRACT | Mining is one of the most hazardous occupations where workers are exposed to dangerous con- ditions such as toxic gases, extreme temperatures, and fire hazards. This paper presents MineGuard, an IoT-based emergency survival jacket designed to improve safety in underground mining environments. The jacket integrates multiple sensors including DHT11 for temperature and humidity monitoring, MQ2 for gas detection, and a flame sensor for fire detection. All sensor data is processed by an Arduino Nano microcontroller and displayed on an LED screen. Emergency buttons allow miners to manually send alerts during health emergencies, gas leakage, or fire incidents. Communication between the wearable jacket and monitoring station is achieved using LoRa technology, enabling long-range wireless communication without internet dependency. The receiver module uses an ESP32 microcontroller to display alerts, trigger alarms, and optionally upload data to the Blynk IoT platform for monitoring and analysis. The proposed system provides a reliable, cost-effective, and efficient solution for improving miner safety and ensuring timely emergency response. |
