Abstract
This report describes a new kind of smart helmet for miners that uses a long-range LoRaWAN connection. The helmet provides a complete safety solution with its integrated GPS sensor for tracking location in real-time, temperature and humidity sensors for environmental monitoring, impact sensor for collision detection, and smoke sensor for early hazard identification. Reliable data transmission is ensured via LoRa WAN, even from sites far below the surface. Thanks to greater situational awareness, quicker emergency reaction times, and real-time monitoring, this data which includes location, environmental conditions, and potential hazards allows for safer mining operations. This smart helmet has the potential to drastically lower workplace accidents and improve worker safety by enabling data-driven safety management. It also makes the working environment for miners safer.
