Evaluation model for power plant construction project safety management based on support vector machine

Safety management is very important to the power plant construction. The purpose of this paper is to establish an easy and practical model for safety management evaluation. In this paper, the method of principle component analysis was used to deal with the original indexes and the support vector machine was adopted to establish an evaluation model. This was the first time for the support vector machine to be used in safety management evaluation for power plant construction project. Practical examples showed that this method outperforms others in the respect of evaluation accuracy. This model performs well with small sample set and it can be widely used in safety management evaluation for power plant construction.
