The effective analysis of the on-site monitoring data and the post-construction monitoring are not enough, and the monitoring data cannot be used for effective dynamic design. Therefore, how to monitor the settlement of the highway in real time, accurately and intelligently is the core of the problem. SUMMARY

[0021] The present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments. Note that the following description of the embodiments is only substantially illustrative, the present application is not intended to limit the applicable objects or uses thereof, and the present application is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0022] REFERENCE Figure 1As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a highway settlement intelligent monitoring method step, which comprises:

[0023] Step S1, sensors are arranged along the highway section to be monitored, and the sensors are in communication connection with respective data collectors through RS485 cable;

[0024] The present application is based on a certain highway section reconstruction and expansion project, and the settlement of the highway section is intelligently monitored. The test section of the project is 56 m long, the embankment base is 20 m wide, the embankment height is 3.6 m, and the slope gradient is 1:1.5. The soil layer of the highway section is in turn clay layer, silt layer, clay layer and gravel-containing silty clay layer, with a total thickness of 28 m. Cement mixing piles with a diameter of 0.7 m are arranged every 1.2 m below the embankment base. The construction sequence of the highway section is as follows: first, cement mixing pile construction is carried out, and the construction time is 2 days. After the construction is completed, it is stopped for 30 days. Then embankment filling is carried out, and the embankment is filled in two layers. The lower layer is a crushed stone cushion layer, and the filling height is 0.5 m. The filling time is 15 days, and geogrid is laid at a height of 0.3 m above the base. The upper layer is filled with soil, and the filling height is 3.1 m. The filling time is 95 days. After filling is completed, preloading is carried out for 8 months.

[0025] The deepest soft soil layer of the typical cross section of the project is selected as the research object, and the range of the sensor is determined. The monitoring depth of the multipoint displacement meter is determined according to the depth of the soft soil layer determined by the drilling sampling investigation result. According to the depth of the deepest soft soil layer of the cross section, the monitoring depth of the multipoint displacement meter is selected as 28 m below the top surface of the roadbed, and 4 displacement monitoring points are uniformly arranged along the depth direction to measure the layered compression; the monitoring range of the static leveling instrument is determined according to the calculation result of the layered summation method. It is calculated that the settlement is 0.34 m, and the calculation result is shown in Figure 2 Therefore, the range of the static leveling instrument is selected as the maximum of 0.4 m.

[0026] According to the length of the test section of the project, one settlement monitoring profile is arranged every 14 m along the highway. In each settlement monitoring profile, one multipoint displacement meter and one static leveling instrument are buried on both sides of the roadbed and the roadbed center line (3 multipoint displacement meters and 3 static leveling instruments in each profile), and they are in communication connection with the data collector through RS485 cable. In addition, 4 settlement plates are arranged on both sides of the soil shoulder of the same cross section, and the total road surface settlement is manually observed once a month.

[0027] Step S2, the data collector is in wireless communication connection with the DTU (Data Transfer unit, wireless terminal device), and the monitoring data is wirelessly transmitted to the DTU.

[0028] The data acquisition system consists of a bus and branch lines. A monitoring branch line is laid at each monitoring cross section of the roadbed and protected with PE pipe. Each sensor is connected to its own data collector via the branch line. The serial port parameters are then set in the DTU configuration software based on the sensor type: baud rate 9600, parity bit NONE, and data bits 8. After these settings are set, the data collector is successfully connected to the DTU via the bus through each branch line.

[0029] Step S3: The DTU transmits the data to the IoT platform via wireless communication, and the IoT platform pre-processes and visualizes the data;

[0030] S301, the IoT platform deploys a monitoring solution based on the ThingsBoard platform and receives raw monitoring data through the MQTT protocol;

[0031] Deploy a ThingsBoard-based IoT platform locally. Import the DTU device information into the IoT platform, select the MQTT protocol for connection, and set the device credentials: client ID, username, and password. Then, select the MQTT protocol connection method in the MQTT node in Node-RED, enter the parameters: Server: 127.0.0.1, Port: 8080, enter the device credentials, and select the data upload format: JSON with IMEI. After completing the settings, the MQTT node will successfully establish a publish-subscribe connection with the IoT platform via the MQTT protocol, upload the monitoring data to the IoT platform, and store it in the database as raw monitoring data.

[0032] In S302, Node-RED is used as an edge computing node to pre-process the original monitoring data by removing abnormal data and processing noise data. The process is as follows: Figure 3 First, establish a TCP connection with the IoT platform database through the TCP node, set the address and port, and select the TCP connection method. Once the connection is successful, the raw monitoring data stored in the database is transferred to the TCP node.

[0033] Then write the abnormal data removal code in the Function1 node: Set the settlement value to be independent x1, x2..., x n , calculate its arithmetic mean x and residual error v i =x i -x(i=1,2,...,n), and calculate the standard deviation σ according to Bessel's formula. If a certain sedimentation value x b The residual error v b (1<=b<=n), satisfying the following formula |v b |=|x b -x|>3σ, then x b It is a bad value containing gross error and should be eliminated.

[0034] Then connect the TCP node with the Function1 node to get the monitoring data with abnormal data removed. Then access the Function2 node and write the noise data processing code in the Function2 node: moving average = (data point 1 + data point 2 + data point 3 +... + data point n) / n, where n is the time window size of the moving average, indicating that the first n data points are taken for average calculation. Starting from the first data point of the data sequence, the moving average is calculated in turn. For the first moving average, the first n data points are used for calculation; for the subsequent moving averages, one data point is slid back each time and the average is recalculated. The calculated moving average is recorded as the smoothed data sequence.

[0035] Finally, the preprocessed monitoring data is connected to the Internet of Things platform through the MQTT node and stored as effective monitoring data in the database.

[0036] S303, visualize and configure the preprocessed effective monitoring data, as shown in Figure 4 The duration curve of the selected time period is generated according to the change of the monitoring point data, facilitating backtracking and analysis. At the same time, the differential settlement curve is generated according to the settlement of different measuring points. The differential settlement at different times can be displayed in the same page, facilitating comparison and analysis, and being updated in real time. The warning module is set up to set the range of settlement. According to the characteristics of the project, three alarm thresholds are set. The first alarm is the most serious, the second alarm is the second, and the third alarm is the least serious. The second alarm and the third alarm are displayed in the automatically pushed daily report, weekly report and monthly report. Once the first alarm is reached, not only is it displayed in the report, but also an alarm information is pushed to the user in time. The platform can export EXCEL and WORD reports. The report has functions such as measuring point settlement statistics, curve, alarm level and alarm number statistics, and abnormal data type statistics. The data is comprehensively processed and analyzed to better guide the construction.

[0037] Step S4, two kinds of roadbed settlement prediction artificial intelligence models are established, and the two kinds of roadbed prediction artificial intelligence models are combined.

[0038] The Poisson curve change trend is more in line with the law of roadbed settlement in the later period, so it has good accuracy in predicting roadbed settlement. First, a Poisson curve settlement prediction model is established, and the expression of the Poisson curve settlement prediction model is:

[0039]

[0040] In the formula: S tis the settlement of the subgrade at a certain predicted position at time t; k, a, b are undetermined coefficients (where a > 0, b > 0).

[0041] The steps of predicting the subgrade settlement using the Poisson curve settlement prediction model are as follows:

[0042] The sensor monitoring data in a set time range before the current time is obtained, and the settlement measured values with equal monitoring time intervals are taken therefrom, so that the subgrade settlement measured values corresponding to each time point t = 1, 2, 3, …, n are S1, S2, S3, …, Sn respectively. n ;

[0043] The time range is equally divided into three monitoring periods, and i = n / 3; then there are t = 1, 2, 3, …, i in the first monitoring period, t = i + 1, i + 2, i + 3, …, 2i in the second monitoring period, and t = 2i + 1, 2i + 2, 2i + 3, …, 3i in the third monitoring period; the subgrade settlement characteristic parameters corresponding to the three monitoring periods are y1, y2, y3.

[0044]

[0045]

[0046] The undetermined coefficients in the expression of the Poisson curve settlement prediction model are updated according to the subgrade settlement characteristic parameters, wherein:

[0047]

[0048] The three coefficients a, b, and k obtained are substituted into the Poisson curve settlement prediction model, and the time t tends to infinity to obtain the final subgrade settlement S.

[0049] After the Poisson curve model is established, a highway settlement prediction model based on the Bayesian updating method of Markov chain Monte Carlo is established, and the steps are as shown in Figure 5 The finite element software is used to establish a finite element model. The soil parameters are regarded as random variables, 2000 groups of parameter samples are generated by Latin hypercube sampling and input into the finite element model, and the corresponding settlement calculation results are obtained. Based on the parameter samples, a subgrade settlement data set is constructed, and then a random forest method is used to construct a proxy model. The subgrade settlement data set constructed above is randomly divided into two parts, of which 80% is used as the training set and the remaining 20% is used as the test set. The training set is used to train the proxy model, and then the soil parameters in the test set are input into the proxy model and the subgrade settlement calculation results are output. The proxy model calculation results are compared with the original finite element model calculation results, and the fitting effect meets the requirements, and the proxy model is used to replace the original finite element model.

[0050] According to the properties of soft soil, a soil parameter dataset is generated; the soil parameter dataset is input into the proxy model to calculate the settlement, and according to the influence degree of each parameter on the soft soil subgrade settlement value, the high sensitivity soil parameters are determined as random variables, and the other soil parameters are regarded as constants.

[0051] According to the geological exploration report, existing literature data and engineering experience, the prior information of the high sensitivity soil parameters is obtained to determine the prior distribution thereof. Based on the proxy model, the Markov Chain Monte Carlo Bayesian updating algorithm (MCMC) is adopted to obtain the posterior samples of the soil parameters based on the monitoring data; the posterior samples of the updated soil parameters are substituted into the proxy model to obtain the soft foundation settlement prediction value.

[0052] After the two kinds of settlement prediction models are established, the error reciprocal method is used to determine the weights of different models to form a combined prediction model:

[0053] Let y represent the actual settlement monitoring value, the prediction value of the i-th model at time t, and y(t) represent the prediction value of the combined model at time t;

[0054] The absolute error e i (t) of the i-th model at time t, the sum d i (t) of the absolute error reciprocals, the weight wi of the i-th model at time t, and then the prediction value y(t) of the combined model at time t is obtained, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0055]

[0056] Step S5 embeds the combined prediction model into the Internet of Things platform, predicts the monitoring data preprocessed in step S3 to obtain settlement prediction data, and realizes intelligent monitoring of highway settlement.

[0057] The above artificial intelligence model is embedded with the help of Node-RED, and the process is shown in FIG. 6. First, the preprocessed effective monitoring data in the database is called through the TCP node, the code of the developed artificial intelligence analysis module is written into the Function node, the monitoring data is connected to the Function node, the prediction data (predicted settlement) is generated after the calculation and processing of the Function node code, and then the prediction data is connected to the Internet of Things platform through the MQTT node. According to the actual situation of the project, the safety range of the prediction data is set, and if it exceeds the safety range, a warning is generated, and the warning message is fed back to the remote terminal of the design, establishment, construction, and owner units through SMS and other methods. The management personnel judge whether there is potential risk, and adjust the construction method according to it.

[0058] Through the above steps, a highway monitoring intelligent system is established, and a schematic diagram of the monitoring intelligent system is shown in FIG. Figure 6 .

[0059] While the application has been described in terms of several preferred embodiments, the skilled person will appreciate that other embodiments can be created within the scope and spirit of the application as described above. Additionally, it should be noted that the language used in the specification has been principally directed to enabling an understanding of the present application rather than to exhaustively describe all possible combinations meant to be within the scope of the application. Accordingly, many modifications and variations will be apparent to practitioners skilled in the art. The scope of the application is intended to be illustrative rather than restrictive. The actual scope of the application is defined by the appended claims.

[0060] The above merely represents embodiments of the application, and it is emphasized that those skilled in the art can still make some improvements and adjustments on the basis of the principles of the application. These improvements and adjustments should also be considered as within the scope of protection of the application.
