Rock blasting often has an irreversible impact on the surrounding environment and threatens the safety of life and property. Therefore, accurate prediction of blast-induced ground vibration (BIGV) is a prerequisite for safe construction. In view of the fact that traditional blasting peak particle velocity (PPV) empirical formulas cannot be accurately predicted, this study selected 88 sets of blasting monitoring data, based on distance from the blast-face, maximum charge per delay, total charge, hole depth, spacing, burden, stemming length, and powder factor being used as input variables and PPV being used as output variable to characterize BIGV. First, a nonlinear mapping relationship between input variables and output variable is established through the Gaussian process (GP). The differential evolution algorithm (DE) is used to optimize the hyperparameters σf, σn, and l of the GP, and a blasting PPV model based on the DE-GP is constructed. The proposed model is compared with the empirical formulas, least square support vector machine (LSSVM), artificial neural network (ANN), and GP model, and its prediction performance is evaluated by statistical indicators such as root mean square error (RMSE). Finally, the cosine amplitude method (CAM) is used to analyze the sensitivity of blasting parameters. The results show that the DE-GP algorithm for blasting vibration velocity prediction has higher precision and accuracy, which is significantly better than other models, and is the closest to the measured PPV. Distance from the blast-face, total charge, and maximum charge per delay have a greater impact on the prediction of PPV, while stemming length and powder factor have a smaller impact on the prediction of PPV. The DE-GP model proposed by this research has certain reference value for the prediction and control of PPV in blasting construction.
