Abstract
Rapid infrastructure development and expanded automobile production are helping India's mining sector. With all of this, plus millions of people working in mines, there is a considerable potential of mine hazards, resulting in substantial losses of resources/assets and human life. The environment in underground mines has a considerable impact on production, productivity, and safety management. Mines must be constantly monitored, but human observation is dangerous; hence, mine surveillance without human intervention is essential. As a consequence, a wireless sensor network (WSN) is proposed for the safe and intelligent wireless monitoring of elements that contribute to coal mine disasters, such as toxic flammable gases, high temperature, humidity, and pressure, using low-cost and low-power consuming NodeMCU. The proposed WSN identifies the parameters, and based on the criteria, immediate notifications can be sent to any rising or possible threat arising, speeding up the evacuation procedure. These real-time values are accessible through the live status, password-protected dashboard. The system itself is an efficient, low-cost, and low-power consuming as the used NodeMCU is inclusive of Wi-Fi module; therefore, no need of external transceiver for communication.
