Applying and Deploying Cyber Physical System in Monitoring and Managing Operations Under Mines and Underground Works

Abstract

This paper presents results of a study on the current situation of monitoring underground gases in Vietnam, on the basis of which a model of cyber physical system will then be proposed in order to monitor and manage operations under mines and underground works. This system composes of: devices that measure Methane (CH4) [1] and Carbon monoxide (CO) [2] that are set up under mines in order to track these gases 24/7. The information received from these devices will be sent to on-ground stations and stored in the system database for collecting and managing information about gas detectors, warnings of fire and explosion, so timely warnings can be sent to workers under mines through the alarming system that is integrated in the detectors in case of unexpected incidents.
