A classic model of the smart helmet has been developed for the mining industry in order to detect hazardous events in the mining environment. The developed prototype is able to sense the quality of air, humidity, removing the helmet by miner, and crash of an object on head. The air quality is determined by the saturation level of the dangerous gas such as carbon monoxide. The removal of helmet by miner is also considered as one of the unsafe event and it is detected by using Infrared (IR) sensor. The crash of an object on head is determined using pressure sensor. According to head and neck injury criteria, if the force excreted on head exceeds 34 psi, it is considered to be a hazardous. Implementation consists of two modules- the helmet module and reporting (or monitoring) module. The helmet module includes ARM7 microcontroller in conjunction with various sensors and ZigBee, while reporting module includes ZigBee at the receiving end and raspberry pi controller. An automated e-mail alert generation system is also developed in a reporting module of proposed system, it generates and delivers an automated alert e- mail to authorized personnel, if a miner has experienced hazardous event.
