Effective identification of induced seismicity and real-time management of seismic risks are hot topics due to increasing induced seismicity in areas related to energy exploitation. Existing decision-making tool for managing seismic risks, known as the traffic light system, is not robust enough. To meet the increasing needs for safe mining of energy at production sites, finding an advanced and efficient method to improve the traffic light system is essential. In recent years, machine learning, an advanced inductive and analytical method, has been widely used in seismology. In this context, research gaps associated with the identification and management of induced seismicity, as well as the current achievements of machine learning in addressing induced seismicity problems, are reviewed. A basic framework of using machine learning method to optimize the traffic light system in the industrial production process is first proposed. Then, its feasibility and rationality are demonstrated by similar cases. This framework may provide a reference for the development of a risk-based adaptive traffic light management system.
