Wearable Safety Electro Device for HV Line Engineers Using Wireless and GSM Technology

B. Nelson Karunakaran, Chunchu Rambabu

Abstract


The advancement of technologies in sensing, embedded systems, wireless communication technologies, nano technologies, and miniaturization makes it possible to develop smart systems to monitor activities of human beings continuously working under High Voltage Line. Wearable sensors detect abnormal and/or unforeseen situations by monitoring physiological parameters along with other symptoms. Therefore, necessary help can be provided in times of dire need. This paper reviews the latest reported systems on activity monitoring of humans based on wearable sensors and issues to be addressed to tackle the challenges.


Keywords
