[0134] Specifically, step S6 specifically includes:
[0135] S61. Perform VMD decomposition on the initial response signal ξ(t) to obtain K intrinsic mode components IMF, which are expressed as follows:

[0151] The frequency and vibration mode of the signal are solved according to the Hilbert marginal spectrum to realize the modal identification of the bridge structure.
[0152] In this embodiment, in step S2, a slow lane is occupied for testing, and the remaining lanes are left for vehicles to pass. Within the construction area, we will set up temporary traffic signs, signs and road cones for maintenance work, thereby forming a closed construction area. At the same time, we will be equipped with professional traffic controllers who will stand at the entrance of the closed area to direct traffic, guide vehicles and pedestrians to detour, and ensure traffic order and safety.

The fitness function under different parameter combinations is calculated using sparrow search, and the comparison is performed within the number of evolutionary iterations. The optimal k and α combination is obtained by taking the lowest fitness function value as the search target.
[0158] (4) Use the sparrow search algorithm to find the best k and α to perform VMD decomposition, obtain the eigenmode components of each order of the initial signal, judge and eliminate the interference signal according to the dynamic characteristics of the bridge structure, reconstruct, and perform Hilbert transform to obtain the instantaneous frequency, amplitude function, and phase function of the signal.
