Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of bridge safety maintenance, and more specifically to a method, system and storage medium for maintaining overpass traffic facilities based on digital twins. Background Art

[0002] Overpasses are an important part of urban infrastructure construction, especially in times of traffic congestion, they play an extremely important role in solving urban traffic congestion and improving traffic capacity. However, as a public infrastructure building, the construction, maintenance and upkeep of overpasses require the cooperation of a large number of employees and professionals to ensure the smooth and unobstructed flow of urban roads.

[0003] First of all, the maintenance of the overpass mainly depends on the normal operation of its equipment, so it is necessary to regularly check and maintain the equipment. For example, check whether the street lights are normal and eliminate abnormal phenomena; maintain facilities such as lifting poles and environmental protection belts to ensure that they can work normally. Secondly, the overpass crosses the road surface, so safety inspections must be emphasized during maintenance. For example, check whether the cables and other lines inside and below the overpass are operating normally; check whether safety facilities such as rockfall nets are intact. In addition, preventive maintenance of overpasses is also very important, and its purpose is to repair equipment and facilities before they fail, so as to avoid future failures. For example, regularly check the supporting structure, cracks, and connection parts of the overpass to prevent subsequent failures; apply protective coatings such as rust-proof coatings and plasticizers to avoid corrosion of the overpass. If the overpass fails or the equipment fails, timely maintenance is required. For example, reinforce the connection parts and repair cracks; clean up the accumulated water and deal with water leakage problems; check the dynamic low-pass filter of the equipment, check the cage shape and motor heating, etc.

[0004] At present, the maintenance of overpasses is not targeted, requires a lot of manpower and financial resources, and causes a lot of waste of resources. Therefore, how to carry out targeted maintenance of overpasses while ensuring the safe use of overpasses is urgently needed to be studied by technical personnel in this field. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a method, system and storage medium for maintaining overpass traffic facilities based on digital twins, which have significant beneficial effects in improving data processing efficiency and accuracy, optimizing digital twin models, enhancing the intelligence level of bridge maintenance, and promoting the sustainable development of bridge traffic facilities.

[0015] Obtain image data of the bridge surface, the image data including the original crack curve, and grayscale the image data, converting the multi-channel color image into a single-channel grayscale image;

[0016] Using a convolutional neural network to locate and segment the crack area of ​​the bridge in the grayscale image; and extracting crack features of the segmented crack area;

[0017] Based on the crack characteristics of the segmented crack area and the temporal implicit characteristics in the structural data, the segmented crack area is classified using the Canny edge anomaly detection algorithm to obtain a crack area analysis result.

[0018] Optionally, the bridge maintenance strategy is also transmitted to the overpass maintenance platform in real time, prompting maintenance personnel to carry out targeted maintenance on the overpass.

Obviously, the drawings described below are only embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on the provided drawings without paying creative work.

[0033] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the system structure of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] The embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for maintaining overpass traffic facilities based on digital twins, such as Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0036] Step 1: Collect the overpass structure data, use the principal component analysis dimensionality reduction algorithm to pre-process the overpass structure data, remove redundant data, obtain the overpass structure data group, and construct the load distribution diagram and the finite element model of the bridge structure;

[0037] Step 2: Use historical monitoring data of the overpass structure to train the digital twin model, input the load distribution map and the finite element model into the pre-trained digital twin model, and obtain the initial overpass digital twin structure;

[0038] Step 3: Use a clustering algorithm to obtain a cluster set for historical monitoring data, perform discrete analysis on the cluster set to obtain a discrete distribution index, extract the current data distribution index from the overpass structure data group, optimize the overpass digital twin structure according to the similarity between the discrete distribution index and the current data distribution index, and obtain the overpass digital twin structure;

[0039] Step 4: Real-time monitoring of the overpass structure data is input into the overpass digital twin structure. Based on the overpass design standard, the dynamic response of the bridge is determined for the overpass digital twin structure, the damaged area is identified, the damage quantification index is obtained, and the bridge maintenance strategy is determined based on the damage quantification index.

[0040] Furthermore, in step 1 and step 4, the overpass structure data includes bridge construction data, bridge load data, bridge structure displacement data and bridge surface image data.

[0041] Furthermore, the image data of the bridge surface is processed as follows:

[0042] Obtain image data of the bridge surface, the image data including the original crack curve, and grayscale the image data, converting the multi-channel color image into a single-channel grayscale image;

[0043] Using a convolutional neural network to locate and segment the crack area of ​​the bridge using the grayscale image; and extracting crack features of the segmented crack area;

[0044] Based on the crack characteristics of the segmented crack area and the temporal implicit characteristics in the structural data, the segmented crack area is classified using the Canny edge anomaly detection algorithm to obtain a crack area analysis result.

[0045] In this embodiment, the identification of damaged areas can be performed based on digital twin technology and image processing technology. Image data of the bridge surface is obtained through high-precision photography equipment (such as a high-definition camera carried by a drone), and then the image is analyzed using an image processing algorithm to identify potential damaged areas.

[0046] For example, deep learning intelligent algorithms can be used to detect damage such as cracks. This method has a high accuracy rate in identifying cracks with obvious features such as roads and walls, but for small cracks in concrete components, since their image representation is similar to scratches, water marks, etc., it is still challenging to identify them. In this case, manual review can be combined to improve the accuracy of recognition.

[0047] In addition, a triangular mesh model can be used to model the damaged area more finely. This method can be generated by directly encapsulating the point cloud, or it can be based on the reverse-constructed BIM model to generate a point cloud model by sampling again and encapsulating it as a triangular mesh. This method is mainly suitable for situations where the point cloud is incomplete and can be supplemented by designing geometric features.

[0048] Furthermore, in step three, the digital twin structure of the overpass is optimized according to the similarity between the discrete distribution indicators and the current data distribution indicators. Specifically, the similarity between the discrete distribution indicators and the current data distribution indicators is calculated, and the current data and historical data are classified based on the similarity to obtain the target data set, and the target data set is used to complete the optimization of the digital twin structure of the overpass.

[0049] In this embodiment, the bridge maintenance strategy is also transmitted to the overpass maintenance platform in real time, prompting maintenance personnel to carry out targeted maintenance on the overpass.

[0050] Furthermore, in step four, the dynamic response of the bridge is determined for the digital twin structure of the overpass based on the overpass design standard, the damaged area is identified, and the damage quantification index is obtained. Specifically, different excitation characteristics are input into the digital twin structure of the overpass, and the location and degree of damage are identified by comparing the vibration responses before and after the damage; the characteristic values ​​of the location and degree of damage are extracted, and the damage quantification index is determined based on the characteristic values.

[0051] The use of dynamics theory can quickly and accurately evaluate the service status of bridge structures. In this process, the three major dynamic parameters of the bridge must be determined: vibration mode, frequency and damping ratio. However, these parameters must be obtained from its dynamic response using modal analysis methods.

[0052] In the process of monitoring bridge dynamic parameters, the data monitored and collected by the dynamic response sensor is the dynamic response of the bridge, including acceleration response and dynamic displacement response. They are a set of data that changes rapidly over time, and the amount of data is huge, reaching hundreds or even thousands of data per second. In order to improve data transmission efficiency, reduce the computational burden of the early warning system, and ensure the effectiveness and real-time nature of monitoring data transmission, it is necessary to screen and process the massive amount of dynamic response data collected.

[0053] Furthermore, in the quantitative evaluation process, the digital twin model is used for simulation and prediction: by simulating and analyzing the digital twin model of the bridge structure, its response and performance under different working conditions can be predicted. The predicted results are then compared with the actual situation to evaluate the severity of the damage and its impact on the bridge structure.
