Background of the Invention
US8294568B2: An intrinsically safe accurate location information network for personnel and assets in underground mines, including wireless access points and sub network controllers, active wireless locator/messenger tags, network controller(s), and enterprise servers running application control software. The wireless access points are installed in mine entries and crosscuts and track the active wireless locator/messenger tags. The active tags may be worn by mine personnel or installed in mining equipment. The network subsystems form relay networks that wirelessly carry telemetry and control data without the need to penetrate the earth. The subsystems determine the location of persons and assets underground and monitor safety-related information, which can be used for disaster avoidance, early warning of impending disaster, and improved rescue effectiveness.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts, in a simplified format, that are further described in the detailed description of the invention. This summary is neither intended to identify key or essential inventive concepts of the invention and nor is it intended for determining the scope of the invention.
To further clarify advantages and features of the present invention, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof, which is illustrated in the appended drawings. It is appreciated that these drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope. The invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail with the accompanying drawings.
Despite being one of the richest industries in India, most coal companies across the country not only underpay the workers but also continue to compromise with their safety and health, making it one of the most hazardous places to work. Technological advancement in extraction techniques for proliferation of production levels has caused further concern for safety in this industry. Research so far in the area of safety has revealed that the majority of incidents in this hazardous industry take place because of human error, the control of which would enhance safety levels in working sites to a considerable extent. According to a more recent report by Down To Earth, an Indian magazine focused on politics of environment and development, on an average, there are currently around 0.3 deaths in coalmines per 1,000 employees in India. For each million tonnes of coal produced, 24 times as many miners die in India as in Australia, while it is 16-times as much as the United States. Not just globally, Indian coal mines are more accident prone than those of other minerals and metals. Coal miners walk away with significant health impairments and shorter life expectancies than others,” says Dr Suresh Sampat, a private practitioner in Jharkhand’s Dhanbad, one of the biggest coal mining areas in India. Mining workers are affected by many hazards – from ventilation problems, mine flooding, gas explosions, ceiling collapsing, mine haulage, sudden inrushes and mine inundation, spontaneous combustion, to un-optimized evacuation routes. There is no exact solution that can forecast these risks and avoid them even before they occur.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The illustrated embodiments of the subject matter will be understood by reference to the drawings, wherein like parts are designated by like numerals throughout. The following description is intended only by way of example, and simply illustrates certain selected embodiments of devices, systems, and methods that are consistent with the subject matter as claimed herein, wherein:
Figure 1 consists of: Micro controller, Oled display, Battery, Smoke Flame sensor, Accelerometer, Camera, Pulse sensor, Gas sensor, Pressure sensitive material, LoRa module, Ml algorithms, Local server, Control room and Buzzer. Jacket and helmets are the most common dress code that every miner has to wear while working in coal mine. Smart jacket for coal miners is a tool that can be easily worn by miners clothes containing sensor that are implemented on board which are further connected to external hardware through wireless communications. We used gas sensor connected to micro controller. When there is sudden increase in toxic gases the sensor will detect it. Likewise if the heart rate of minor decreases due to any conditions the information than further will be transferred to rescue team. Further to power these all sensor we have used battery pack to power the jacket.These all parameters will then be transmitted through a LoRa module to a local server and then from local server it will forwarded to the control room which is attached by a buzzer which will give siren by any deviation in the parameters of the miners. In this way, one may monitor all labours working inside the mines and moreover in case of disaster the life of miner can be secured immediately. This proposed wearable embedded system will not only send GPS location but will also send continuous update of pulse rate of miner which is sensed by the pulse sensor to the local server hence in case of any disaster, they may set the priority to retain maximum life back from a coal mine.
