INVESTIGATION OF ROCKFALL HAZARDS IN UNDERGROUND MINES AND DEVELOPMENT OF A PREDICTIVE MODEL

Abstract

The project aims to design a safety system for underground mine workers. Underground mining presents significant safety challenges due to hazardous environmental conditions, structural instability, and the risk of accidents. A comprehensive Underground Mining Safety Monitoring and Alerting System is crucial to protect miners' lives and improve operational efficiency. This system integrates advanced sensors to monitor key parameters, including gas concentrations, temperature, humidity, seismic activity, and water levels. Wearable devices track the location and health metrics of miners, providing real-time visibility of personnel. A wireless communication network transmits data to a central monitoring system, where potential hazards are identified and alerts are triggered through audible, visual, and mobile notifications. The system's automated response features further enhance safety by initiating preventative actions. The underground mine safety monitoring and alerting system is a comprehensive solution designed to improve safety, minimize accidents, and enhance operational efficiency in underground mines.
