Abstract

The underground coal mines are well known for its hazardous environment where miners are supposed to work under the presence of many toxic and flammable gasses. The continuous monitoring of these gases is a major challenge for the safety of underground coal mining operation. Hence, continuous monitoring of the complex and hazardous underground mines environment is essential for ensuring safer coal production. In this regard, an attempt has been made to design a wireless sensor networks (WSNs) based gas monitoring system for underground coal mines. The developed gas monitoring system provides an aid in real time monitoring of different underground coal mines gasses. The developed WSNs based gas monitoring system is tested in the laboratory, under the controlled environmental conditions, for the measurement of carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO) and methane (CH4) gases. The outcomes of this study help in introducing an innovation technique of gas measurements in underground coal mines so that its safety can be improved from preventive to predictive measure.
