Prediction of gas hazard in coal stratum tunnels based on improved snake optimizer and support vector machineNew!!

Coal seam gas explosions are among the most destructive geological hazards in underground engineering. Owing to its toxicity and high flammability, gas accumulation in confined tunnel spaces can readily trigger combustion–explosion accidents, resulting in severe casualties and equipment damage. Existing safety measures, such as ventilation, drainage, and online monitoring, are typically activated only when danger is imminent or after a disaster has already occurred, leaving workers with minimal response time and little margin for error, thereby failing to ensure construction safety. This underscores the urgent need for risk assessment and proactive prediction during the investigation stage. Nevertheless, systematic and effective research in this area remains limited. To bridge this gap, […]
