Fog-based enhanced safety management system for miners

摘要

The situation of miners is very dangerous when they work nearly 50 feet under the sea level, with not only the fear of rocks falling but also the production of poisonous gases and high temperatures, which adversely affect their health. In-order to ensure the safety of miners, their current position is important which is very difficult to understand with the existing miner's safety management procedures. Moreover, the data sensed from a lot of sensors when directly sent on the cloud, makes the use of the bandwidth and cloud storage very inefficient. To solve these problems we propose an improved safety system, with an added fog layer which takes the dynamic decision and keeps a check on the data sent on the cloud, making the use of the bandwidth very effective. Proposed architecture combines several gaseous and humidity-temperature sensors, which send the data to a local fog server, which keeps a check on the further processing and work towards the efficient use of the system. This not only provides a high quality of security and reliability but also proves to be a voracious system.
