Implementation of an Embedded System for Real Time Monitoring of Vehicular Movement in Mining Sites

Abstract

The designed tracking and monitoring system for opencast mines allows continuous tracking and monitoring vehicles and movable equipment in many opencast mines using Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver[1,2,3], General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)[4] unit, microcontroller along with ZigBee (programmable to operate as routers ,end devices, and coordinators by hardware specific embedded software)[5] shapes a dynamic remote system among them and other static and portable ZigBee gadgets set at key areas. Utilization of the framework would help in keeping up computerized record and investigating the execution of unreasonable scoops and dumpers sent in opencast mines. This would help in advancing the position of dumpers with every scoop relying upon the adjustment in living up to expectations and dumping spots. This would likewise help in keeping up automated participation of dumper administrators and other work force working in an opencast mine. This would further help in giving cautioning to the sign man and dumper administrator, while dumper drawing nearer close vicinity to the sign man. This would help in building two-way message correspondence among the work force occupied with an opencast mine. This would at last help in enhancing generation, efficiency and well-being in opencast mine.
