[0017] In this embodiment, the following system is employed: a weighing device located within a weighing area at the bridgehead, acquisition devices located in multiple detection areas on the bridge, and a data processing device; each detection area has a set of acquisition devices on the vehicle entry side, including a vehicle separation device and a vibration sensor; the weighing device is used to acquire vehicle weight information when a vehicle passes through the weighing area; the vehicle separation device is used to separate vehicles entering the detection area and generate a vehicle separation signal; the vibration sensor is used to acquire target vibration information of the vehicles entering the detection area based on the vehicle separation signal, wherein the target vibration information includes the vehicle's vibration signal and the identification information of the detection area; the data processing device is integrated with the weighing device and the vibration sensor.

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0028] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0029] According to an embodiment of this application, a bridge dynamic load monitoring system is provided. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an optional bridge dynamic load monitoring system according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the system includes:

[0030] The system includes a weighing device 101 located in the weighing area at the bridgehead, data acquisition devices 102 located in multiple detection areas on the bridge, and a data processing device 103. Each detection area has a set of data acquisition devices 102 on the vehicle entry side, each including a vehicle separation device and a vibration sensor. The weighing device 101 acquires vehicle weight information when a vehicle passes through the weighing area. The vehicle separation device separates vehicles entering the detection area and generates a separation signal. The vibration sensor acquires target vibration information of the vehicles entering the detection area based on the separation signal, whereby the target vibration information includes the vehicle's vibration signal and the detection area's identification information. The data processing device 103 is integrated with the weighing device 101 and... The vibration sensors are electrically connected and used for: binding the vehicle weight information obtained from the weighing device 101 with the target vibration information obtained from the vibration sensors when the vehicle enters the first detection area in the lane; matching the target vibration signal in the current detection area with the vibration signal in the previous detection area according to the identification information to determine the vehicle weight information corresponding to the target vibration signal; and determining the load of the current detection area according to the vehicle weight information of the vehicle entering the current detection area and the vehicle weight information of the vehicle entering the next detection area.

[0031] Specifically, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of an optional configuration of a bridge dynamic load monitoring system according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 ,like Figure 2As shown, the weighing area is set on the approach side of the bridge. Each vehicle needs to be weighed by the weighing device 101 when it enters the bridge to obtain the vehicle's weight information. After obtaining the vehicle's weight information, the vehicle will enter the first detection area. At this time, the vehicle identification device in the acquisition device 102 set in the bridge expansion joint identifies the vehicle's position when it enters the bridge expansion joint and sends the vehicle entry information to the vibration sensor. The vibration sensor starts to collect the vibration signal generated when the vehicle drives through the bridge expansion joint. When the vehicle identification device identifies that the vehicle has passed through the bridge expansion joint, the vibration sensor stops collecting the vibration signal, thereby obtaining the vibration signal corresponding to the vehicle. The number of the first detection area is determined by the number of the weighing device 101. For example, when the weighing device 101 is device number 5, the number of the first detection area corresponding to weighing device 101 is 5.1. At this time, the identification information generated by the vibration signal and the detection area number needs to be identified as the vibration information of the vehicle entering the first detection area, and the vibration information is associated with the vehicle weight information obtained by the weighing device 101 and stored in the storage queue of the first detection area.

[0032] When a vehicle moves from detection area 5.1 into the next detection area, namely detection area 5.2, the vehicle separation device located in the bridge expansion joint on the entry side of detection area 5.2 identifies the vehicle passing through the expansion joint. The vibration sensor collects the target vibration signal generated when the vehicle passes through the bridge expansion joint of detection area 5.2 based on the vehicle separation signal sent by the separation device. According to the identifier of detection area 5.2, the detection area connected to detection area 5.2 is identified as detection area 5.1. Vibration signals matching the target vibration signal are obtained from detection area 5.1 to obtain candidate vibration signals. The vehicle weight information corresponding to the candidate vibration signals in detection area 5.1 is moved to detection area 5.2 and associated with the target vibration signal and stored in the storage queue in detection area 5.2. At this time, as the vehicle moves from detection area 5.1 to detection area 5.2, the vehicle weight information is also moved from the storage queue of detection area 5.1 to the storage queue of detection area 5.2, thereby achieving timely updates of vehicle weight information in each detection area as the vehicle moves.

[0033] After obtaining the vehicle weight information of vehicles entering and leaving each detection area through the above system, the dynamic load of each detection area can be calculated based on all vehicle weight information stored in the storage queue of each detection area.

[0034] It should be noted that, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of an optional configuration of a bridge dynamic load monitoring system according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 ,like Figure 3As shown, on the departure side of the last detection area on the bridge, a set of bridge expansion joints can be added, and a data acquisition device 102 can be added to the bridge expansion joints. After the vehicle leaves the last detection area, the vehicle weight information of the vehicle leaving the last detection area can be deleted by the vibration signal collected by the data acquisition device 102, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the vehicle weight information in the last detection area.

[0035] Optionally, in the bridge dynamic load monitoring system provided in this application embodiment, the detection area is divided according to the lanes and expansion joints on the bridge; the vehicle separation device and vibration sensor are set in the expansion joint on the vehicle entry side of the detection area.

[0036] Specifically, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of an optional bridge according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 4 As shown, each bridge has multiple lanes, and each lane is divided into multiple detection areas. When dividing the detection areas, the bridge expansion joints can be used for division, so that the acquisition device 102 can be set in the bridge expansion joints, thereby more conveniently collecting the vibration signals of the vehicles.

[0037] For example, a bridge can have three lanes, and each lane has multiple bridge expansion joints. The bridge can be divided into six inspection areas based on the bridge expansion joints and lanes.

[0038] Optionally, in the bridge dynamic load monitoring system provided in this application embodiment, a plurality of weighing devices 101 are provided in the weighing area, and each weighing device 101 corresponds to a lane.

[0039] Optionally, in the bridge dynamic load monitoring system provided in this application embodiment, the distance between the weighing device 101 and the first expansion joint in the lane is less than a preset value.

[0040] Specifically, in order to ensure that the weight information of the vehicle measured on the weighing device 101 can be accurately obtained when the vehicle enters the first detection area, the distance between the weighing device 101 and the first expansion joint in the lane can be set to be less than a preset value. This can prevent the vehicle from changing lanes after passing the weighing device 101, which would cause the vibration signal of the vehicle to not correspond to the vehicle weight information, resulting in incorrect vehicle weight information in the detection area, and consequently, incorrect load calculation in the detection area.

[0041] Optionally, the bridge dynamic load monitoring system provided in this application embodiment also includes a data monitoring center, which is connected to the data processing device 103, for receiving the load of each detection area and generating alarm information when the load in the detection area exceeds a preset load limit.

[0042] Specifically, the data monitoring center can detect the load of each detection area calculated in the data processing device 103 in real time, and determine whether there is any abnormality in the dynamic load of each detection area according to the data monitoring center, and issue an alarm message when there is an abnormality, thereby achieving the effect of detecting the dynamic load information at any location on the bridge.

[0043] Optionally, in the bridge dynamic load monitoring system provided in this application embodiment, the data processing device 103 is further used to filter and retain the vibration signal corresponding to the maximum amplitude when the phase of the vibration signal of the vehicle collected by the vibration sensor in different detection areas is the same but the amplitude is different.

[0044] Specifically, since there are multiple lanes in the bridge, when a vehicle enters a lane, while the acquisition device 102 in that lane detects a vibration signal, other acquisition devices 102 adjacent to that acquisition device 102 may also collect the vibration signal. At this time, the vibration signals in other acquisition devices 102 can be deleted according to the amplitude, thereby ensuring that the vibration signal emitted by the vehicle in the wrong lane is not collected.

[0045] According to an embodiment of this application, a method for monitoring dynamic loads on bridges is provided. Figure 5 This is a flowchart of an optional bridge dynamic load monitoring method according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the process of this method may include the following steps:

[0046] Step S501: When the vehicle passes the weighing equipment in the weighing area at the bridgehead, the vehicle weight information is obtained through the weighing equipment.

[0047] Specifically, when a vehicle passes the weighing equipment at the bridgehead, the vehicle's weight information can be obtained through the weighing equipment, thus completing the collection of the vehicle's weight information.

[0048] Step S502: After the vehicle enters the lane on the bridge, the vehicle separation device in each detection area determines whether a vehicle has entered, and obtains the target vibration information of the vehicle through the vibration sensor in the detection area. The target vibration information includes the vibration signal of the vehicle and the identification information of the detection area.

[0049] Specifically, there are multiple bridge expansion joints on the bridge deck. Each bridge expansion joint includes a vehicle separation device and a vibration sensor. The vehicle separation device can determine whether a vehicle has entered the detection area and send a vehicle separation signal to the vibration sensor when the vehicle enters the detection area. Based on the vehicle separation signal, the vibration sensor is controlled to collect the vehicle vibration signal, thereby obtaining the vibration signal generated when the vehicle enters the detection area.

[0050] Step S503: When the vehicle enters the first detection area, the vehicle weight information obtained from the weighing equipment is bound to the target vibration information obtained from the vibration sensor.

[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, after obtaining the vehicle weight information, the vehicle will enter the first detection area. At this time, the vehicle identification device in the acquisition equipment set in the bridge expansion joint identifies the vehicle's entry position into the bridge expansion joint and sends the vehicle entry information to the vibration sensor. The vibration sensor starts to collect the vibration signal generated by the vehicle driving in the bridge expansion joint. When the vehicle identification device identifies that the vehicle has passed through the bridge expansion joint, the vibration sensor stops collecting the vibration signal, thus obtaining the vibration signal corresponding to the vehicle. The number of the first detection area is determined by the number of the weighing equipment. For example, when the weighing equipment is equipment number 5, the number of the first detection area corresponding to weighing equipment number 5 is 5.1. At this time, the identification information generated by the vibration signal and the detection area number needs to be identified as the vibration information of the vehicle entering the first detection area, and the vibration information is associated with the vehicle weight information obtained by the weighing equipment and stored in the storage queue of the first detection area.

[0052] Step S504: When the vehicle enters a detection area other than the first detection area, the target vibration signal in the current detection area is matched with the vibration signal in the previous detection area according to the identification information to determine the vehicle weight information corresponding to the target vibration signal.

[0053] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, when a vehicle moves from detection area 5.1 into the next detection area, namely detection area 5.2, the vehicle separation device located in the bridge expansion joint on the entry side of detection area 5.2 identifies the vehicle passing through the bridge expansion joint. The vibration sensor collects the target vibration signal generated when the vehicle passes through the bridge expansion joint of detection area 5.2 based on the vehicle separation signal sent by the separation device. According to the identifier of detection area 5.2, the detection area connected to detection area 5.2 is identified as detection area 5.1. The vibration signal matching the target vibration signal is obtained from detection area 5.1 to obtain the candidate vibration signal. The vehicle weight information corresponding to the candidate vibration signal in detection area 5.1 is moved to detection area 5.2 and associated with the target vibration signal and stored in the storage queue in detection area 5.2. At this time, as the vehicle moves from detection area 5.1 to detection area 5.2, the vehicle weight information is also moved from the storage queue of detection area 5.1 to the storage queue of detection area 5.2, thereby achieving timely updating of vehicle weight information in each detection area as the vehicle moves.

[0054] Step S505: When a vehicle enters a detection area other than the last detection area, the load of the current detection area is determined based on the vehicle weight information of the vehicle entering the current detection area and the vehicle weight information of the vehicle entering the next detection area.

[0055] Specifically, after obtaining the vehicle weight information of vehicles entering and leaving each detection area through the above method, the dynamic load of each detection area can be calculated based on all vehicle weight information stored in the storage queue of each detection area.

[0056] Through steps S501 to S505, when a vehicle passes the weighing device in the weighing area at the bridgehead, the vehicle's weight information is obtained through the weighing device. After the vehicle enters the lane on the bridge, the vehicle identification device in each detection area determines whether a vehicle has entered, and the target vibration information of the vehicle is obtained through vibration sensors in the detection area. The target vibration information includes the vehicle's vibration signal and the identification information of the detection area. When a vehicle enters the first detection area, the vehicle weight information obtained from the weighing device is bound to the target vibration information obtained from the vibration sensor. When a vehicle enters other detection areas besides the first detection area, the target vibration signal in the current detection area is matched with the vibration signal in the previous detection area according to the identification information to determine the vehicle weight information corresponding to the target vibration signal. Furthermore, when a vehicle enters other detection areas besides the last detection area, the load of the current detection area is determined based on the vehicle weight information of the vehicle entering the current detection area and the vehicle weight information of the vehicle entering the next detection area. This solves the technical problems of low stability and high installation cost in related technologies that use cameras and weighing devices to determine the dynamic load of bridges. Vehicles entering the bridge are weighed using weighing equipment located at the bridgehead. Vibration signals generated when a vehicle enters the first detection zone are identified by data acquisition equipment, and these vibration signals are associated with and stored in relation to the vehicle weight. Simultaneously, if a vehicle enters any detection zone other than the first, vibration signals are collected by data acquisition equipment in that zone and matched against vibration signals in the previous detection zone. The vehicle weight corresponding to the vibration signal with the highest similarity is associated with the vibration signal in that detection zone and moved to its storage queue. Thus, when a vehicle enters a new detection zone, its weight information is obtained by identifying the vibration signal and moved to the new zone's storage queue. This allows for the addition of weight information in new detection zones while deleting weight information from previous zones, achieving real-time updates to the weight information in each detection zone. By monitoring all weight information in each detection zone, the dynamic load of each zone can be determined.

[0057] Optionally, in the bridge dynamic load monitoring method provided in this application embodiment, matching the target vibration signal in the current detection area with the vibration signal in the previous detection area according to the identification information to determine the vehicle weight information corresponding to the target vibration signal includes: when the vehicle has completely entered the current detection area, acquiring the target vibration information of the current detection area and extracting the feature value of the target vibration signal; comparing the feature value of the target signal in the current detection area with the feature values ​​of multiple target vibration signals in the previous detection area; when the similarity between the feature value of the target vibration signal in the current detection area and the feature value of one target vibration signal in the previous detection area is greater than a preset threshold, determining the vehicle weight information corresponding to the target vibration signal in the current detection area based on the vehicle weight information in the previous detection area, and storing it.

[0058] Specifically, feature values ​​can be compared using a preset model. Since vibration signals contain information such as amplitude and frequency, the preset model can determine whether vibration signals originate from the same vehicle based on the similarity between feature values ​​in each vibration signal. The target vibration information of the current detection area and all vibration information in the storage queue of the previous detection area can be input into the preset model. Then, the preset model can extract vibration signals from multiple vibration signals whose similarity to the target vibration information is greater than a preset threshold.

[0059] Furthermore, there may be multiple vibration signals with a similarity greater than a preset threshold, resulting in multiple candidate vibration signals. At this point, the first attribute information of each candidate vibration signal can be obtained, wherein the first attribute information includes at least one of the following: number of axles, axle spacing; the second attribute information of the vehicle is determined based on the target vibration signal, wherein the second attribute information includes at least one of the following: number of axles, axle spacing; the second attribute information is compared with multiple first attribute information, and the first attribute information that is the same as the second attribute information is determined as the target attribute information; the candidate vibration signal corresponding to the target attribute information is determined as the vibration signal that is most similar to the target vibration signal.

[0060] Optionally, in the bridge dynamic load monitoring method provided in this application embodiment, matching the target vibration signal in the current detection area with the vibration signal in the previous detection area according to the identification information, the method further includes: determining the target vibration signal of the (N-1)th detection area in the same lane according to the identification information of the Nth detection area, wherein the Nth detection area is the current detection area, and N is an integer greater than or equal to 2; when the target vibration signal in the Nth detection area does not match the vibration signal of the (N-1)th detection area in the same lane, the vibration signal of the (N-1)th detection area in the adjacent lane of the current detection area is obtained.

[0061] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the detection area corresponding to each vibration information can be determined based on the identification information in each vibration information. For example, if the current detection area can be detection area 2.2, then N-1 detection areas can be detection area 2.1. At this time, it can be determined whether there is a vibration signal in the storage queue of detection area 2.1 that has a similarity greater than a preset threshold with the target vibration signal.

[0062] Furthermore, since there are multiple parallel lanes, if there is no vibration signal with a similarity greater than a preset threshold in the (N-1)th detection area, vibration signals from lanes adjacent to the (N-1)th detection area can be used. For example, if there is no similar vibration signal in detection area 2.1, vibration signals with a similarity greater than a preset threshold can be determined in detection areas 1.1 and 3.1. This ensures that when a vehicle changes lanes, the vehicle weight information can be accurately transferred, thereby achieving the effect of accurately calculating the load of each detection area.

[0063] It should be noted that if there are no vibration signals with a similarity greater than the preset threshold in adjacent detection areas, vibration information on the other lanes in parallel will continue to be acquired until a vibration signal with a similarity greater than the preset threshold is acquired.

[0064] Optionally, in the bridge dynamic load monitoring method provided in this application embodiment, the bridge dynamic load monitoring method in this application embodiment further includes: when the load in the detection area is greater than a preset load limit, determining that the dynamic load is abnormal and issuing an alarm message.

[0065] Specifically, after determining the vehicle weight information in each detection area using the above method, the load of each detection area can be calculated based on the vehicle weight information. The load value of each area is then compared with the preset load limit.
