Abstract

Wireless sensor network has a large number of sensors, which is used to collect the data from the environments. The sensor devices have a limited energy, memory, transmission range, and computation power. In this paper, we present a model called design and development of a sensor model for coalmines. The proposed model automatically detects the harmful gases such as Methane and Carbon Dioxide using PLS41 and KGJ sensors. It sends the sensing data to the control room through support node over the network. The control room takes necessary steps to prevent the accidents by considering threshold values of gasses. The proposed model is an efficient method to reduce the control message packets over the network.
