Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bridge health monitoring technology, specifically a method for identifying bridge pavement unevenness based on finite vehicle response. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, bridge structural health monitoring technologies are mainly divided into direct measurement and indirect measurement technologies. Direct measurement technologies typically involve installing and deploying a series of sensors on the surface or key parts of the bridge structure to monitor and record the bridge's vibration response during operation. Indirect measurement mainly includes imaging technology, drone technology, and GPS, among others. Among these, vehicle scanning, as a novel indirect bridge condition assessment technology, has recently received widespread attention in the field of health monitoring for small and medium-sized bridges due to its advantages such as high efficiency, high mobility, and better economic efficiency.
[0003] The core idea of vehicle scanning is to indirectly sense bridge vibrations through moving vehicles equipped with sensors, thereby assessing the bridge's dynamic characteristics and providing fundamental data for bridge health monitoring. However, road surface roughness is a significant factor that cannot be ignored in the application of vehicle scanning, as it significantly reduces the visibility of bridge frequencies in the vehicle response spectrum. Therefore, identifying road surface roughness from vehicle responses is a crucial step in the widespread application of vehicle scanning. In recent years, bridge roughness identification technology based on vehicle responses has emerged. This technology mainly involves relatively complex vehicle models and requires a certain number of sensors in practical applications—multiple sensors need to be deployed at different locations on the vehicle—combined with advanced signal processing techniques to identify road surface roughness. However, because the bridge responses recorded by different sensors are susceptible to external interference, it is difficult to maintain a consistent and stable state, making it difficult to apply the research results in practice. Furthermore, the large number of sensors required increases the cost of bridge health monitoring, greatly diminishing the advantages of vehicle scanning technology in terms of economy and ease of operation.

[0074] This invention presents a bridge pavement unevenness identification method based on finite vehicle response. First, the pavement unevenness is treated as an unknown excitation in a vehicle-bridge coupled system, and a displacement sensor is used to collect the vertical response of the vehicle crossing the bridge. Then, the state vector and observation vector of the vehicle-bridge coupled system are defined, and corresponding state equations and discrete equations are established to obtain the system matrix of the vehicle-bridge coupled state space equation. Finally, initial state values are defined, and the pavement unevenness is reconstructed using Kalman filtering and the obtained system matrix. In summary, this invention's bridge pavement unevenness identification method based on finite vehicle response requires only a single vehicle-mounted sensor to identify bridge pavement unevenness. Since the vehicle-mounted sensor is a single sensor positioned at the center of the measuring vehicle's axle or on the vehicle body directly above the center of the axle, it not only offers advantages in terms of economy and ease of operation but also avoids external interference to the measured vertical response, thus maintaining measurement consistency and stability.
