Traditional experiments with human subjects for underground safety accidents are almost impossible because of safety and ethical issues. Based on Multi-agent technology, virtual mine architecture was presented to simulate underground safety accidents. In proposed multi-agent framework, multiple agents cooperate with each other through synchronization and message passing mechanisms to reveal the complex interactive characteristics of human-machine-environment related factors resulting in underground safety accidents. Furthermore, the design and implementation of virtual miner agent model was emphasized. Combined with internal attributes, virtual miner';s behavior is constructed by a set of parameterized basic actions and controlled by personalized action selection mechanism. The simulating results on typical accidents of propdrawing operation in stope face show the proposed approaches are effective to reconstruct accident process in virtual mine for assisting underground safety accident analysis and prevention.
