BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0035] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the disaster warning logic flow of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0036] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0037] Example 1
[0038] See also Figure 1 A disaster early warning system for tunnels crossing active fault zones, comprising a multimodal sensing layer for acquiring microseismic wave, vibration, tilt, and strain data along the tunnel fault zone, the multimodal sensing layer comprising:
[0039] Fiber-optic distributed acoustic sensing units (DAS) are installed every 10 meters along the inner side of the tunnel lining to monitor tiny acoustic signals from the fracture surface in real time.
[0040] MEMS accelerometer arrays are placed at the four corners of each section to detect high-frequency vibrations;
[0041] GNSS and INS combined tilt and strain sensors are installed on the tunnel roof and side walls to obtain millimeter-level tilt and strain changes;
[0042] Acoustic cavity sensors are placed near the sliding surface of the fault zone to capture airborne acoustic precursor signals;
[0043] The fiber-optic distributed acoustic wave sensing unit adopts φ9 / 125μm single-mode optical fiber and phase-sensitive OTDR technology, with a spatial resolution of ≤0.5m and a sampling frequency of ≥10kHz;
[0044] The MEMS accelerometer array uses a three-axis ±4g range sensor, each with a bandwidth of 0.5Hz-2kHz and dual software and hardware temperature compensation.
[0045] The GNSS and INS combined tilt strain sensor achieves tunnel section micro-deformation detection accuracy of ≤0.2mm through a four-point differential layout;
[0046] Furthermore, the early microseismic wave fusion monitoring of the fault zone:
[0047] In the fault zone section of a mountain highway tunnel, a φ9 / 125μm single-mode optical fiber was laid every 10 meters along the inner side of the lining and fixed to the lining sidewalls and roof. A triaxial ±4g MEMS accelerometer was installed at each corner of the section, along with a temperature sensor for dual temperature compensation. A combined GNSS and INS tilt strain sensor was deployed on each of the tunnel roof and sidewalls, using a four-point differential arrangement. After calibration, a micro-deformation resolution of ≤0.2mm was achieved. Acoustic cavity sensors with a frequency response range of 20Hz–20kHz were suspended in areas with potential slip on the fault surface.
[0048] An edge intelligent gateway is installed every 100 meters next to the lining and directly connected to the aforementioned sensor units via industrial Ethernet. The DAS unit uses phase-sensitive OTDR technology, with a sampling frequency of 10kHz and a spatial resolution of 0.5m, to collect echo signals in real time and transmit them to the FPGA. The FPGA runs an adaptive wavelet threshold algorithm to filter out man-made construction noise above 80Hz and extract features such as the time domain envelope, spectrum peaks, time-frequency diagrams, and time series entropy. MEMS accelerometer array data is transmitted to the gateway via the SPI bus, which also extracts multiple features such as entropy and frequency band energy ratio.
[0049] The edge gateway is pre-installed with a comparative learning model pre-trained based on the fracture simulation library to perform real-time classification of newly collected features. When the microseismic event feature matching degree is ≥0.85 and the acceleration peak is >0.2g within 5 consecutive seconds, it is judged as a Level I warning (attention), and the feature vector and warning mark are uploaded to the chain through the Fabric lightweight block. After the central control server obtains the data uploaded by the edge node, it drives the three-dimensional digital twin model to run stress-displacement coupling simulation to simulate the possible opening amount of the fracture surface in the next hour. The simulation results and historical data are input into the GNN+LSTM prediction module. If it is predicted that there will be a risk of Level II or above in the next 1 hour, it will be pushed to the central control screen and pushed to the supervision APP via 5G.
[0050] Example 2
[0051] See also Figure 1 A disaster warning system for tunnels crossing active fault zones, which also includes a distributed blockchain storage module built on Hyperledger Fabric. The edge intelligent gateway is a blockchain network node. The distributed blockchain storage module is used to perform lightweight on-chain storage of feature vectors and preliminary warning results to ensure that the data cannot be tampered with and is fully traceable.
[0052] Furthermore, in the implementation of multi-scale coordinated emergency response:
[0053] Based on Example 1, each edge smart gateway is registered as a Fabric network node and a dynamic node management contract is configured; the central control system is connected to the local earthquake bureau emergency platform through a RESTful interface, and emergency linkage rules are pre-configured;
[0054] The GNN submodule constructs a fracture point cloud map based on the spatial topology of the fracture zone optical fiber and the acceleration array. The LSTM submodule inputs the entropy value sequence of the past 24 hours and outputs the sliding trend of the next 24 hours. The attention mechanism is used to fuse the outputs of the two to generate the risk probability distribution of levels I-IV, which is defined as:
[0055] Level Ⅰ (safe): risk <10%;
[0056] Level II (Caution): 10% ≤ risk < 30%;
[0057] Level III (Warning): 30% ≤ risk < 60%;
[0058] Grade IV (urgent): risk ≥ 60%;
[0059] When the warning level reaches Level III, the system automatically triggers the lighting and ventilation in the tunnel to switch to emergency mode through MQTT, and simultaneously generates a PDF report containing simulation snapshots; when the warning level reaches Level IV, the escape indication system is further activated, and SMS and email alerts are sent to the earthquake bureau platform; the blockchain smart contract monitors the gateway health data on the chain. If the node is offline for more than 30 minutes, it automatically alarms for maintenance and generates a diagnostic work order on the off-chain platform.
[0060] Example 3
[0061] See also Figure 1 : A disaster warning system for tunnel crossing an active fault zone, wherein the multimodal sensing layer is directly connected to an edge intelligent gateway via industrial Ethernet. The edge intelligent gateway includes a combined architecture of FPGA and ARM Cortex-A series processors, and is used to execute:
[0062] Noise filtering processing uses an adaptive wavelet threshold algorithm to remove environmental and construction noise;
[0063] Online extraction of multiple features in time domain, frequency domain, time-frequency domain and entropy value;
[0064] Online transfer learning module, which adaptively updates the feature extraction and classification model based on the initial fracture simulation data;
[0065] The online transfer learning module deployed in the edge intelligent gateway is pre-trained based on large-scale source domain fracture simulation data and fine-tuned on newly collected data using self-supervised contrastive learning. When the model performance degrades by more than 5%, remote updates are automatically triggered.
[0066] Furthermore, each sensor data channel is encapsulated into a UDP packet via industrial Ethernet and sent to the FPGA DMA buffer. The FPGA first performs phase demodulation and OTDR differential calculation on the DAS data, outputting a time-domain amplitude sequence. For accelerometer and acoustic cavity data, the FPGA samples and directly forwards it to the ARM side, where it is packaged and stored in parallel in a ring buffer queue.
[0067] The FPGA side applies a 4th-order FIR bandpass filter to the DAS and acceleration data to remove out-of-band signals. The ARM side runs an adaptive wavelet threshold algorithm module to further remove noise from each channel.
[0068] Divide the data into 1s chunks:
[0069] 1) Wavelet decomposition to level 5;
[0070] 2) Adaptively calculate the threshold λ=σ√(2lnN) based on the background noise estimate;
[0071] 3) Soft threshold shrinkage of high-frequency coefficients;
[0072] 4) Reconstruct the denoised signal.
[0073] After multiple features are extracted online, the ARM side outputs the feature vectors to the circular feature queue every 0.5 seconds for the prediction model to call;
[0074] Using large-scale fracture simulation experimental data (N≈10 6 samples) pre-trained contrastive learning encoder, and a lightweight fully connected network for binary classification based on feature vectors;
[0075] Self-supervised fine-tuning:
[0076] 1. Randomly extract 512 new samples from the local feature queue and construct positive and negative pairs together with the pre-training samples;
[0077] 2. Calculate contrast loss (NT-Xent);
[0078] 3. Perform 5 gradient updates on ARM;
[0079] The edge node evaluates the accuracy of the local model on the validation set once an hour. If the accuracy drops by more than 5% compared to the previous evaluation, it communicates with the cloud-based model management service via gRPC, automatically pulls the latest pre-trained weights, and seamlessly updates them.
