Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of highway tunnel engineering technology, specifically to an intelligent safety risk assessment system and method for highway tunnel construction. Background Technology
[0002] Highway tunnel construction environments are complex, with variable geological conditions, and are susceptible to factors such as surrounding rock stability and hydrological conditions. Risks and accidents such as collapses, water inrushes, and rock bursts are frequent. Therefore, safety risk assessment during construction is a core element in ensuring project progress and personnel safety. As tunnel projects extend to deeper, longer, and more complex geological areas, traditional risk assessment methods are no longer sufficient to meet the demands for precise and dynamic management. There is an urgent need to improve risk control through intelligent technologies.
[0003] Existing risk assessment technologies have significant limitations: First, they are highly subjective, with the selection of assessment indicators and weighting largely relying on expert experience and lacking standardized quantitative models. Different assessors may arrive at vastly different conclusions for the same project, resulting in insufficient objectivity. Second, static assessments are ill-suited to dynamic scenarios. Most systems employ fixed-weight algorithms, failing to respond to sudden geological changes during construction (such as sudden fault fracture zones) or adjustments to work procedures (such as changes in excavation depth), leading to assessment results lagging behind actual risk changes. Third, data and processes are fragmented, with assessment indicator management, work order creation, and result output scattered across independent modules, lacking a comprehensive collaborative mechanism, resulting in low data utilization and inefficient assessment. Fourth, they lack the ability to identify specific risks, failing to stratify risks before and during construction, making it difficult to accurately pinpoint high-frequency specific risks such as collapses and water inrushes, resulting in weak targeted prevention and control.
[0004] The aforementioned problems directly hinder traditional assessment methods from achieving early risk detection and mitigation: subjective biases may mask true risks, static weights may misjudge key hazards, fragmented data prolongs the assessment cycle, and a lack of specific identification leads to indiscriminate and ineffective prevention and control measures. Therefore, developing an intelligent system and method that integrates dynamic weight adjustment of indicators, work order-based assessment processes, and multi-level risk identification to shift from "passive accident response" to "proactive prediction and prevention" has become an essential requirement for solving the challenges of safety risk management in highway tunnel construction. Summary of the Invention

Based on the data provided by the data layer, the algorithm layer quickly classifies risk levels through the main control factor identification engine, calculates the total risk score through the dynamic scoring engine, and quantifies specific risks through the specific risk engine, thereby achieving accurate risk assessment. The algorithm layer is connected to the application layer. The application layer serves as the system's interaction interface. It initiates the evaluation process through the work order management module, calls the data layer and algorithm layer to complete the calculation, and then outputs the visualization results through the risk report module. The real-time early warning module monitors the data and triggers alarms, thus realizing a closed loop of the entire process from evaluation initiation, data processing to result output.

The assessment results include indicator scores, weights, overall risk level, and details of specific risks. The visual charts include bar charts and level labels.
[0016] Preferably, the application layer includes: Real-time early warning module: Connects to IoT sensors to collect key indicator data in real time. When the data exceeds a preset threshold, it automatically issues an alarm and displays the risk level. The IoT sensor includes: a surrounding rock deformation monitor; The key indicator data includes the relative deformation value of the surrounding rock, u / B.

The dynamic scoring engine combines actual monitoring data to ensure that the risk assessment results are updated synchronously with the actual working conditions, breaking through the limitations of traditional fixed weights and accurately adapting to the complex dynamic characteristics of tunnel construction.
