ABSTRACT
In recent decades, the ground vibration induced by blasting is an inevitable outcome and severely damages surrounding structures. Hence, it is essential to monitor the ground vibration to evaluate and control the adverse consequences of blasting. Several conventional instruments were widely adopted to measure vibration in terms of Peak Particle Velocity (PPV). The major limitation of the conventional system is wire-based, expensive, and cannot transfer real-time seamless information. To mitigate, proposed a novel real-time, low-cost wireless vibration system. In this context, design and implement an economical wireless system to monitor PPV effectively. Further, discuss the overall architecture, integrating of hardware, and implementation of software protocols in the process of making the wireless system. Developed prototype having an accelerometer, Radio Frequency (RF) module, and microcontroller unit. The system was installed at different locations in Mine-A, India and obtained results ensure that PPV values are varied from 0.191 to 8.60 mm/sec.
