Determination of parameters for the prognosis of rock mass deformation with the use of the cellular automaton method

The article describes the basics of construction and operation of a simple computational model built on the basis of the cellular automata theory designed to simulate rock mass subsidence caused by underground mining exploitation. The construction of the computational model as a deterministic finite cellular automaton has never been described in the literature in the context of the choice of method parameters. In the context of the construction of the model, an exemplary methodology for the selection of model parameters was presented on the example of the results of the geodetic observation of the consequences of underground mining exploitation.
