Abstract :
A cost effective ZigBee-based wireless mine supervising system is presented in this article. This scheme used intelligent helmets as voice terminal and ultra-low-power nodes of wireless sensor network.The programme adopted ZigBee wireless technology to build wireless sensor networks, realized real-time surveillance with early-warning intelligence on methane, temperature, humidity in mining area, and used speech communication to reduce potential safety problems in coal production.
