Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of signal processing and structural health monitoring, and in particular relates to a bridge vehicle load sensing method and system based on an encoder-decoder, which can be directly applied to technical fields such as smart infrastructure and bridge engineering. Background Art

[0002] Vehicle loads are the main type of loads borne by bridge structures. Accurately acquiring their data is of great significance for bridge structure health monitoring. However, due to the limitations of measurement methods in the past, real-time vehicle load information on the bridge deck is like being hidden in the fog, and it is extremely difficult to accurately capture. Traditional measurement methods are not only cumbersome to operate, but also often accompanied by drawbacks such as poor accuracy and discontinuous data collection, which are difficult to meet the stringent requirements of current refined bridge management and real-time safety warnings.

[0003] In recent years, the matching scheme of dynamic weighbridge data and computer vision technology has emerged. With the help of cameras to capture vehicle video streams, combined with information such as vehicle weight and image features at the dynamic weighbridge, the real-time position of the vehicle on the bridge is located. Although this method has made some achievements in some scenarios, it has shortcomings when facing a large number of small and medium-sized urban bridges that are not equipped with dynamic weighbridge equipment. Relying solely on video image data, it is limited by factors such as light changes, occlusion, image resolution, and complex and diverse vehicle models, making it extremely difficult to predict accurate vehicle load information, and the prediction error remains high, which greatly reduces the practicality of this method in small and medium-sized bridge scenarios.

[0004] At the same time, research in the field of bridge structural mechanics has revealed that the dynamic deformation caused by vehicle loads acting on bridges is like a "code book" that records key information about vehicles and structures, which contains rich load details and clues to the structural status. If the vehicle load can be accurately decoupled from the inherent information of the bridge structure from the structural deformation data, it will not only be possible to achieve high-precision vehicle load perception, but also to separate the real-time status information of the structure, opening up a new path for bridge health diagnosis. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a method that can accurately infer the vehicle load on the bridge deck in real time based only on response data such as structural deformation. This will not only fill the gap in existing technologies in the field of vehicle load monitoring on small and medium-sized bridges, but also meet the demands of the times for smart infrastructure construction to move towards intelligence and refinement. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the problem of real-time and accurate perception of vehicle load on the bridge deck of small and medium-sized bridges in cities. The real-time inference of vehicle load on the bridge deck is performed based on structural deformation data. A model is proposed which can realize the inference based only on response data such as structural deformation. The model can be widely used in the real-time and accurate perception of vehicle load on bridge decks without dynamic weighbridges, and overcomes the matching error based on computer vision methods.

[0006] In view of the above defects or improvement needs of the prior art, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the present invention proposes a bridge vehicle load sensing method based on an encoder-decoder, and the specific steps of the method include: S1.

Indicates that the input is The encoder network.

[0009] Furthermore, the detector described in S1 is specifically as follows: Considering the sparseness of vehicle load on the bridge deck, The output of is sparsely activated using the top-k activation method. An additional detector is introduced in the encoder part of the network to identify the number of vehicles on the current bridge deck. The largest k items are selected through a softmax activation function. k is the output result of the detector, and the input of the softmax activation function is the mean. , the non-zero items of the output can be expressed as: .

[0010] Furthermore, the input of the decoder in S1 is the vehicle load value inferred by the encoder, and the output is the structural deformation reconstruction data ,in For sampling of inferred vehicle loads.

[0011] Furthermore, the loss function of the variational inference model of the encoder-decoder in S1 includes the variational inference loss of the real-time vehicle load on the bridge, the reconstruction error loss, and the parameter regularization term; The loss function term for variational inference is:

[0014] Furthermore, the supervised pre-training datasets in S2 include: vehicle load and structural deformation Equal response data set: Structural deformation data The dimension is C × T, where C represents the number of structural deformation response sensors and T represents the monitoring sequence length; Vehicle load Discretize the bridge deck and, based on the discretized grid, identify the locations of zero and non-zero vehicle weight items on the bridge deck grid.

[0015] Furthermore, the fine-tuning dataset in S2 uses the real response of the structure and the structural deformation data The dimension is consistent with the pre-training dataset, C×T, where C represents the number of structural deformation response sensors and T represents the length of the monitoring sequence.

[0016] According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a bridge vehicle load sensing system based on an encoder-decoder, comprising: The variational inference model building unit of the encoder-decoder is used to build a variational inference model based on the encoder-decoder, constrain the shape of the hidden feature space between the encoder and the decoder to be a discrete form of the bridge deck, regard the encoder part in the autoencoder as a variational inference model of the bridge deck load, and regard the decoder part as a constraint part for training the encoder network; The data set construction unit for model training is used to build a finite element model, load the measured vehicle load sequence into the finite element model, and obtain the response data set of vehicle load and structural dynamic deformation as a supervised data set; and collect the structural deformation data of the actual operation of the bridge as a fine-tuning data set, which is connected to the results of the pre-training stage and used in the subsequent fine-tuning stage; The network model pre-training and fine-tuning unit is used to carry out the pre-training and fine-tuning phase of the network model. The specific steps are as follows: (1) In the pre-training stage, in addition to the loss functions such as variational inference loss, reconstruction error loss, and parameter regularization term, a vehicle load supervised loss function is added to guide the encoder network to converge quickly; (2) After pre-training, the network parameters of the detector, encoder, and decoder are frozen for real structural deformation data, and an output layer is added between the encoder and hidden layer features. The vehicle load is inferred based on the encoder state. During the fine-tuning phase, only the network parameters of the output layer are trained. The loss function during the fine-tuning phase only includes the variational inference loss, reconstruction error loss, and parameter regularization term. The vehicle load real-time identification unit is used to input the real-time bridge structure deformation to infer the vehicle load in the feature space. The real-time and accurate perception results of the vehicle load are expressed in the form of activation values ​​on a discretized grid after top-k activation and visualized by a histogram.

[0017] As a third aspect of the present invention, it also relates to a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, the computer program being executed by a processor for a bridge vehicle load sensing method based on an encoder-decoder.

[0018] In general, the above technical solutions conceived by the present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art: 1.

It can realize inference based only on response data such as structural deformation, and overcomes the matching error of computer vision-based methods when applied to small and medium-sized urban bridges without dynamic weighbridges. In addition, the model can be widely used in scenarios of accurate real-time vehicle load perception of such bridges.

[0019] 2. The present invention adopts a variational inference method for accurate perception of vehicle loads on bridges based on an encoder-decoder architecture. By adopting the innovative training paradigm of "finite element data pre-training + real data fine-tuning", it uses a real-time vehicle load-structure dynamic deformation pre-training dataset generated based on bridge structure finite element model simulation data, as well as an acquired real structure dynamic deformation fine-tuning dataset. This allows the method to be quickly deployed to different bridge projects based on a small number of samples of real monitoring data, greatly reducing the dependence of model training on a large number of samples, shortening the deployment cycle, and improving practicality and adaptability.

[0020] 3. The present invention is based on the accurate perception variational inference method of bridge vehicle load based on the encoder-decoder architecture. Through carefully designed network architecture, the shape of the hidden feature space between the encoder and decoder is constrained to be the discrete form of the bridge deck, and a sparse activation mechanism is introduced. The variational inference result of the real-time vehicle load on the bridge is subject to the maximum evidence lower bound, reconstruction error and parameter regularization term. The loss function can accurately establish the correlation between the structural response and the bridge deck load, which solves the difficult problems that the traditional method cannot obtain the real-time distribution of the vehicle load on the bridge deck and the intelligent load identification model requires a lot of manual labeling. It provides key technical support for bridge structure health monitoring, smart infrastructure construction and refined operation and maintenance of bridge projects, and strongly promotes the industry to develop in the direction of intelligence.
