Abstract: The paper addresses a cost-efficient, flexible solution for underground mine workers’ safety. A module of sensors and webcam are used for underground environment monitoring and analyzing measurement data through digital wireless communication technique is proposed with high accuracy, smooth control and reliability. A microcontroller is used here for gathering data and making a decision, based on which the mine worker is informed through alarm as well as voice system. ZigBee, based on IEEE 802.15.4 standard is used for this short distance transmission between the hardware fitted with the mine worker and the ground control center. Also, the wireless camera is used for visual distant monitoring purpose.
