Description

Background Art

[0002] Existing underground tunnel monitoring systems rely on only one type of sensor, such as temperature sensors, humidity sensors or stress sensors. This single sensor network can only obtain limited environmental information and cannot fully reflect the actual conditions of the tunnel; due to the single type of sensor, the types of data collected are also limited. This results in the monitoring system being unable to obtain real-time environmental conditions in underground tunnels, such as air quality, structural stress, displacement changes, etc.; for those monitoring systems that have deployed multiple sensors, their data fusion processing capabilities are still limited. Data fusion technology can integrate and analyze data from different sensors, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of monitoring results. However, the performance of existing monitoring systems in this regard is often unsatisfactory.

[0003] Due to the above reasons, traditional monitoring systems have limitations in detecting potential problems at an early stage. For example, when a small crack appears in the tunnel structure, a single type of sensor may not be able to capture the relevant information in time, thus affecting the safety and reliability of the tunnel. Traditional monitoring systems have high installation and maintenance costs, especially in tunnel environments. This is because the tunnel environment is usually harsh, which makes sensors and lines easily damaged. In addition, it is difficult to lay lines in tunnels, which increases the workload and cost of construction and maintenance. In underground tunnels, line maintenance of the monitoring system is a complex and time-consuming task. Due to the space limitations and harsh environment in the tunnel, it is difficult for maintenance personnel to complete troubleshooting and repair work in a short time, further increasing maintenance costs.

[0004] The existing underground tunnel monitoring system has many shortcomings in terms of sensor diversity, data fusion processing, early warning capability, installation and maintenance costs, etc. In order to improve the efficiency and accuracy of tunnel monitoring, these aspects need to be improved and optimized.

[0013] Preferably, the wireless sensor subsystem is equipped with a photocell or an energy harvesting module for collecting energy from vibration or temperature difference in the tunnel.

[0014] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a comprehensive monitoring method based on an optical cable sensor network, comprising the following steps: S1. Lay an optical cable in the underground tunnel space along the tunnel depth direction. The optical cable contains multiple optical fibers to form a data backhaul trunk. Deploy multiple wireless sensor subsystems at key locations in the underground tunnel space.

Deploy edge computing nodes along the optical cable to receive the environmental parameter information transmitted by the wireless transmission module in real time; perform data fusion on all environmental parameter information through an adaptive weighted fusion algorithm to obtain the local optimal estimation value of the underground tunnel space by all wireless sensor subsystems; S3, the data processing module performs dimensionality reduction on the multi-dimensional data received from multiple edge computing nodes, extracts the main features of the underground tunnel space safety, obtains the global optimal solution for the tunnel, generates a tunnel safety status report, and sends a risk warning signal.

[0015] Preferably, when the edge computing node detects that the environmental parameter information fluctuates abnormally within a set time, a local alarm is triggered, and the abnormal environmental parameter information is preferentially transmitted back to the data processing module.

[0016] In a third aspect, a computer device comprises a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor implements the steps of the above-mentioned comprehensive monitoring method based on an optical cable sensor network when executing the computer program.

[0017] In a fourth aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium, including a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the above-mentioned comprehensive monitoring method based on an optical cable sensor network.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: A comprehensive monitoring method based on optical cable sensor network can fully obtain environmental information in the tunnel through the joint use of multiple types of sensors. The sensor data is fused at the data level and decision level through edge computing and fusion processing terminals to extract the main features, reduce data redundancy, and improve the system's computing efficiency and data fusion reliability; the combination of wireless sensor subsystem and optical cable transmission reduces the complexity of wired laying and improves the flexibility of installation and maintenance.

[0021] Furthermore, different types of sensors detect different parameters of the tunnel environment.

[0023] Furthermore, the edge computing node uses an adaptive weighted fusion algorithm and sets the environmental parameter information fusion with the minimum mean square error as the optimization goal, aiming to improve the accuracy of data processing and system performance.

[0024] Furthermore, the data processing module uses the AWFA-DS algorithm, a real-time data fusion algorithm distributed in the network based on the DS evidence theory, to fuse the local optimal estimates of the underground tunnel space obtained from multiple edge computing nodes, aiming to provide an accurate global estimate of the overall state of the tunnel. The data processing module can comprehensively analyze and fuse the local optimal estimates of multiple edge computing nodes to form a global optimal estimate of the entire underground tunnel space. This design handles multi-source uncertainty and data conflicts through real-time processing and adaptive weighted fusion. By fusing data from different nodes, it makes judgments in a way that minimizes uncertainty when faced with inconsistent or conflicting data, enhances the system's fault tolerance and stability, and achieves rapid response and accurate early warning, thereby ensuring safe monitoring of underground tunnels.

[0025] A comprehensive monitoring method based on optical cable sensor networks aims to improve the comprehensiveness, real-timeness and accuracy of tunnel monitoring through distributed architecture and real-time data processing. The design and optimization of each step ensures the efficient collection, fusion and analysis of monitoring data, forms a global optimal estimate of the overall state of the tunnel, supports rapid early warning and safety prevention and control, and ensures the stable operation of the tunnel and the safety of personnel.

These terms are only used to distinguish preset ranges from each other.

Similarly, the phrases "if it is determined" or "if (stated condition or event) is detected" may be interpreted as "when it is determined" or "in response to determining" or "when detecting (stated condition or event)" or "in response to detecting (stated condition or event)", depending on the context.

[0036] Various structural schematic diagrams of the embodiments disclosed in the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings. These figures are not drawn to scale, and some details are magnified and some details may be omitted for the purpose of clear expression. The shapes of various regions and layers shown in the figures and the relative sizes and positional relationships therebetween are only exemplary, and may deviate in practice due to manufacturing tolerances or technical limitations, and those skilled in the art may additionally design regions / layers with different shapes, sizes, and relative positions according to actual needs.

[0037] The present invention provides a comprehensive monitoring system based on an optical cable sensor network. The optical cable is laid in an underground tunnel. By mounting multiple edge computing nodes and placing multiple wireless sensor subsystems, the comprehensive monitoring of the internal environment of the tunnel is realized. Specifically, the system includes: Wireless sensor subsystem, used to collect environmental parameter information inside the tunnel; The wireless sensor subsystem includes temperature sensors, humidity sensors, gas concentration sensors (such as CO and CO2), vibration sensors, displacement sensors and liquid level sensors. Multiple wireless sensor subsystems correspond to a single edge computing node.

[0038] Among them, the wireless sensor network subsystem is connected to the optical cable receiving node through a low-power wireless transmission module, which reduces the complexity of wired laying and makes the installation and maintenance of the sensor more flexible and convenient.

[0039] A wireless transmission module transmits the tunnel internal environment parameter information collected by multiple wireless sensor subsystems back to the receiving node of the optical cable through wireless signals; The optical cable includes multiple optical fibers, which are used to transmit the internal environment parameter information of the tunnel collected by the wireless sensor subsystem to the edge computing node.

[0040] The edge computing node is used to receive the tunnel internal environment parameter information received by the optical cable receiving node; The edge computing node is directly mounted on the optical cable and includes a data processing unit and a memory module, which can perform real-time analysis and preliminary pre-processing of sensor data near the data collection point.

[0041] Data processing unit, used for real-time analysis and preliminary preprocessing of received sensor data, whose functions include data filtering and denoising, preliminary data fusion, real-time analysis, local early warning and data transmission preparation, so as to improve the accuracy and response speed of the monitoring system; The memory module is used to store sensor data and analysis results, and supports temporary storage and call of the data processing unit during the processing process. Its functions include caching real-time received data, saving processed warning information, and storing intermediate data and historical records required for algorithm operation, so as to improve efficiency and response speed during data analysis and preprocessing.

[0042] The edge computing node uses an adaptive weighted fusion algorithm to perform preliminary fusion of sensor data. This adaptive adjustment process uses the minimum mean square error (MSE) as the optimization target to ensure the optimality of the fusion result and obtain the local optimal solution.

[0043] Specifically, a single sensor cluster carries data and uses an adaptive weighted fusion algorithm to fuse the remaining sensor data; a weight is assigned to the measurement value of each sensor, and the estimation of the tunnel warning situation by all sensors is integrated through the weighted fusion method, thereby obtaining the local optimal estimation value of the tunnel situation by the entire sensor node.

[0044] The adaptive weighted fusion algorithm (AWFA) performs data fusion on the remaining sensor data. The AWFA fusion algorithm assigns weights to the measurement values ​​of each sensor according to a certain principle, and finally integrates the single estimation of the tunnel event by all sensors through the weighted fusion method to obtain the local optimal estimation value of the entire sensor node. This method can process the original monitoring data in a timely and effective manner, eliminate redundancy, and thus reduce the amount of data transmitted by the network.

[0045] The data processing module integrates and analyzes the data received from multiple edge computing nodes, and provides a comprehensive tunnel status assessment based on the correlation between the sensors. It generates a complete tunnel safety status report at the terminal through the data transmitted in the optical cable, and sends risk warning signals to the management center through the wireless communication network, thus realizing effective monitoring and early warning notification of the underground tunnel space.

[0046] The data processing module uses the DS evidence theory's in-network distributed real-time data fusion algorithm AWFA-DS to further fuse the local probability estimates of the tunnel situation obtained from multiple edge computing nodes to form a global optimal estimate of the overall state of the tunnel. DST (Dempster-Shafer Theory, DS evidence theory) gives the combination rules of multi-source information, fuses the basic credibility distribution from multiple edge computing nodes, and obtains a final credibility distribution as output.

[0047] According to the distribution characteristics of optical cable sensor networks, the proposed distributed real-time data fusion algorithm AWFA-DS based on adaptive weighted fusion algorithm (AWFA) and DS evidence theory is proposed. The data detected by the sensor is processed and purified in the edge computing node, that is, the edge computing node performs corresponding data fusion processing and then turns to further processing. It effectively handles the existing redundancy and contradictions and reduces the amount of data transmitted in the network.

[0048] The present invention provides a comprehensive monitoring method based on an optical cable sensor network, which ensures intelligent monitoring of underground tunnel space through precisely designed steps, including the following steps: S1.

The sensors transmit the collected data to the optical cable nodes through wireless transmission modules.

[0049] S2. Edge computing and data preprocessing Edge computing nodes are deployed along the optical cable to receive the environmental parameter information transmitted by the wireless transmission module in real time; the edge computing nodes include a data processing unit and a memory module, which are mainly used to fuse the remaining sensor data using an adaptive weighted fusion algorithm to obtain the local optimal estimate of the tunnel conditions for the entire sensor node, reduce unnecessary data transmission, and thus reduce the burden on the central data processing module.

[0050] S3. Data fusion and risk analysis The data processing module is located at the system terminal and includes a data processing unit. The data processing unit uses dimensionality reduction processing on the multi-dimensional data received from multiple edge computing nodes to extract the main features that are most representative of tunnel safety, reduce data redundancy and improve processing efficiency. The global optimal solution for the tunnel is obtained, and a tunnel safety status report is generated, which sends a risk warning signal to the management center.
