Application of data mining in an intelligent early warning system for rock bursts

Abstract

In view of rock burst accidents frequently occurring, a basic framework for an intelligent early warning system for rock bursts (IEWSRB) is constructed based on several big data technologies in the computer industry, including data mining, databases and data warehouses. Then, a data warehouse is modeled with regard to monitoring the data of rock bursts, and the effective application of data mining technology in this system is discussed in detail. Furthermore, we focus on the K-means clustering algorithm, and a data visualization interface based on the Browser/Server (B/S) mode is developed, which is mainly based on the Java language, supplemented by Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), JavaScript and HyperText Markup Language (HTML), with Tomcat, as the server and Mysql as the JavaWeb project of the rock burst monitoring data warehouse. The application of data mining technology in IEWSRB can improve the existing rock burst monitoring system and enhance the prediction. It can also realize real-time queries and the analysis of monitoring data through browsers, which is very convenient. Hence, it can make important contributions to the safe and efficient production of coal mines and the sustainable development of the coal economy.
