Many coal miners are concerned about their safety in the workplace. Within subsurface mines, poor ventilation exposes workers to toxic gases, heat, and dust, which can lead to sickness, injury, and death. With the aid of an ARM controller, this work proposes a concept for an Internet of things (IoT), wireless sensor network (WSN) that can track temperature, humidity, and gas in an underground mine. This device uses a low-power, less-cost Arduino UNO, Node MCU, DHT11 sensor, gas sensor, fire sensor to detect fire and send an alarm, and LDR to detect light depending on light levels. Conventional coal mineshaft observing frameworks are regularly wired organization frameworks that assume a significant part in guaranteeing coal mineshaft security. With the ceaseless extension of mining zones and profundity in coal mineshafts, numerous laneways have become visually impaired territories with various secret risks. Furthermore, laying cables, which is costly and time-consuming, is inconvenient. To address the issues, a coal mine safety monitoring system based on a wireless sensor network and the Internet of Things, which can increase the monitoring level is created. Many micro-sensor nodes with small volumes and low costs make up an IoT and wireless sensor network.

The drawback of the current voice communication for coal mine is that only the wired scheduling telephone or a small flexible phone for mine is used for voice contact. According to the existing coal mine environment monitoring systems, a more secure coal mine monitoring system with emergency voice communication is designed based on wireless sensor network (WSN). By introducing voice module which achieves voice, the sensor nodes and sink nodes of the monitor system are redeveloped on the Imote2 and Stargate platforms respectively. This system gives consideration to the real-time of environment data monitor and voice communication reliability in coal mine, and the key technologies of hardware design and software of sensor nodes with voice and their tasks scheduler algorithm with priority are given. This system conquers the defect of wired networks and avoids the high-energy cost of other wireless technology. The experiment results show that the designed system is simple, reliable, and economic and has a great application prospect for coal mine.
