The mining industry also known as the “killing industry” is a highly dangerous industry due to the high probability of accidents due to various environmental factors like toxic gases, collapse/flooding of mines, and various challenges due to confined spaces and limited visibility. One of the key challenges that occur in this industry is the rapid and timely response during an emergency. The primary objective of this research paper is to address this problem by exploring various communication technologies suitable for the underground environment by delving into the aspect of peer-to-peer communication and various efficient routing algorithms as well as methods for determining the direction of signals. One of the integral concepts to this framework is the methodology to determine the most effective way for transmitting the emergency messages to central network and the other helmets in the vicinity for rapid response and coordination in emergency situations. One of the other objectives of this chapter is to determine various ways of direction discovery of the incoming emergency signals to pinpoint the location of the accident or hazards. Our research also includes a simple mathematical model for node selection in the routing algorithms. The findings and contributions of this chapter lie in the improved safety and communication capabilities of the helmet which are crucial for the safety of the underground workers.
