    To enhance the accuracy of blasting vibration predictions in an open-pit mine stripping project, a new peak particle velocity (PPV) prediction formula is proposed, incorporating geological elevation differences and slope effects. Based on the principles of dimensional analysis, the traditional Sadovsky formula was modified by introducing the elevation difference (H) and slope coefficient (γ), resulting in a new prediction model (Formula 11). Notably, when H=0, the new formula reverts to the traditional Sadovsky formula, ensuring its reliability. A field vibration monitoring test was conducted in the mine, with 5 monitoring points at elevation differences of 0.222 m, 0.176 m, 0.865 m, 1.617 m, and 2.465 m. Using the TC-4850 blasting vibration meter, vibration data were recorded, and multiple predictions, including the Sadovsky and the newly proposed formula, were fitted using multivariate nonlinear regression. Results show that the proposed formula achieves the highest correlation coefficient (R2=0.905), surpassing other models. Furthermore, the new formula exhibits improved prediction accuracy, with a maximum relative error of 20.85% and an average error of 8.11%, compared to 24.89% and 10.31% for the original Sadovsky formula. By considering the factors of elevation and slope, the proposed prediction formula significantly improves the precision of PPV predictions under complex terrain conditions, providing a scientific basis for blasting vibration control and safety management. Applying the specific scheme and data proves the effectiveness and practicality of the formula.
