With the country's strong support for infrastructure, tunnel-related projects are also increasing daily. Combined with the current Internet of Things (IoT) technology booming, the realization of intelligent construction has become the mainstream direction of today's tunnel construction. This design is mainly realized by combining IOT communication technology, sensor technology, and microcontroller technology. STM32 microcontroller acts as the system's central processing unit and receives real-time information on gas concentration, smoke concentration, pipe wall pressure, and water level collected by various sensors, then displays the data on the LED display after data processing. When the environmental data exceeds the standard, it will automatically drive and adjust the water pumps and fans and simultaneously move the WiFi module to remotely send the data to the mobile phone APP through the Internet cloud server. When the environmental data exceeds the standard, it automatically drives and adjusts the water pump and fan while moving the WiFi module to remotely send the data to the cell phone APP through the Internet cloud server. After actual testing, the system can meet the design requirements and further improve the safety and convenience of tunnel construction.
