Mine wind speed sensor location selection based on decision tree theory

Abstract In order to realize the scientific layout of underground roadway sensors, based on the information entropy theory, the decision tree algorithm is applied to the location selection of the underground wind speed sensor. Taking the air volume traversing the entire network branch as the goal, the node air volume balance and the characteristic relationship between air volume and wind pressure as the constraints, the conventional layout data of the mine wind speed sensor is selected as the training sample, and the reasonable decision node is selected by measuring the uncertainty of the characteristic attribute. The research shows that the smaller the information entropy of the layout elements, the greater the weight in determining the sensor location. The classification conditions obtained by the wind speed sensor are, in descending, order: airflow disturbance, roadway support, distance from the inlet (return) and outlet, and roadway type. Algorithms are applied to effectively combine downhole sensor siting with historical data containing unambiguous results.
