Therefore, real-time monitoring of their health status is of great significance for ensuring traffic safety, reducing accident risks and carrying out maintenance and repair in a timely manner.
[0003] In the existing bridge monitoring process, sensors are usually installed at various important locations to monitor various types of data at each location during the operation of the bridge structure in real time. When analyzing the health status of all locations in the bridge structure, each location in the bridge structure is mainly used as each node in the graph attention network model. The health status of each location in the bridge structure is classified and analyzed to determine the health status of the bridge. However, the above technology still has the following shortcomings: 1. Lack of intelligence in detection strategies Existing bridge health monitoring systems usually adopt fixed detection strategies and fail to consider real-time data and environmental changes, resulting in waste of resources and reduced detection effectiveness.
[0004] 2. Model update is not timely Traditional models rely on static data during training and lack self-learning and optimization mechanisms, which makes it difficult for the models to reflect the latest health status of the bridge.
[0005] 3. Insufficient decision support Existing systems often lack effective decision-making support tools and are unable to provide intelligent inspection plans and maintenance recommendations based on monitoring data, which reduces the scientificity and effectiveness of bridge management.

[0016] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can implement the invention with reference to the description.
[0017] A bridge health monitoring system is mainly used in a bridge health detection optimization algorithm based on reinforcement learning. The bridge health monitoring system mainly includes: a data acquisition module, a state evaluation module, a decision optimization module and a feedback learning module. The data acquisition module obtains dynamic monitoring data of the bridge through a variety of sensors; the state evaluation module analyzes the current health state and outputs the characteristic state; the decision optimization module dynamically adjusts the detection strategy based on the reinforcement learning algorithm to obtain the best detection effect with the minimum resource consumption; the feedback learning module optimizes the reinforcement learning model by continuously accumulating and updating data. Through this invention, the intelligence level and response speed of bridge health detection can be effectively improved to ensure the safety and durability of the bridge.
[0018] like Figure 1As shown, the present invention relates to a bridge health detection optimization algorithm based on reinforcement learning, which aims to improve the efficiency and accuracy of bridge health detection. The algorithm combines the bridge health monitoring system and realizes real-time monitoring and evaluation of the bridge structure through adaptive optimization detection strategy. Specifically, a bridge health detection optimization algorithm based on reinforcement learning includes the following steps: 1. Data Collection Deploy a variety of sensors (such as strain, displacement, acceleration and temperature sensors) at key parts of the bridge to collect real-time bridge operation data. Transmit the sensor data to the central processing system via wireless networks, such as Figure 1 As shown, a certain measurement data during data collection is .
[0019] 2. Status Assessment The state assessment module of the central processing system uses machine learning technology to pre-process the collected data, including data denoising (filtering method) and feature extraction (translation-range transformation method). Based on the extracted feature data, computer-recognizable data is formed. At the same time, the state assessment is used to convert the measured data into To assign the corresponding weight I , the measured data and the corresponding weights are processed to obtain the weighted sum. The present invention uses the weighted distance estimation method mentioned above, that is, , substitute into the trigger function, the present invention adopts the threshold trigger principle, sets the threshold M ,when It then enters the feedback learning phase and conducts detection using different detection strategies in the simulated environment.
[0020] 3. Feedback Learning The feedback learning module of the central processing system collects the test results and feedback information after each test is completed, and obtains the evaluation parameters based on the state evaluation. h i (i.e. i The evaluation of the parameters can be considered as the data after the actual measurement is standardized) is used for the subsequent reinforcement learning model training, and a new weight II is assigned based on the actual situation (in most cases, it is the same as the weight I, when h i When obvious anomalies occur, new weights are assigned. It should be noted that obvious anomalies here refer to those based on statistics. s principle, σ is the standard deviation of the normal distribution, when the processed data deviates from the mean by more than 3 s By continuously updating the learning rate α and the discount factor c , enabling it to adapt to changing bridge conditions and environmental factors, gradually improving decision-making 4. Decision optimization The decision optimization module of the central processing system uses reinforcement learning algorithms to design optimization strategies and dynamically adjusts the detection strategy by establishing a state-behavior-reward model. By simulating different detection strategies and results in the environment, the optimal detection solution is selected to improve efficiency. The implementation method of this step is as follows: S1. Determine the test parameters and corresponding standard requirements according to the specifications and procedures to form a decision target table ,in, oh Represents the weight corresponding to the detection parameter, S Indicates the standard value of the detection parameter, n Indicates the number of detection parameters; S2, suppose a certain measurement data is , the initial data for iteration is ; S3. According to p - The greedy strategy selects actions where p represents the exploration probability.
[0021] S30. Initialize behavior value estimation based on actual needs and exploration probability p ,in The weighted distance estimation is adopted, namely: In the formula, oh i , x i , S i Respectively represent i The weight, measured value, and standard value of each parameter; Use existing data to train and determine critical value estimates M , iterate continuously and adjust the weights Stop learning when the value is low enough, which means that there is no need for in-depth learning, thus saving corresponding computing resources.
[0022] S31, or randomly select a behavior a (i.e., with probability p Continue to explore), or select Minimal behavior a′ (i.e., retaining behavior with probability 1-p a′ ), and execute the behavior ( a or a′ ).
[0023] S32. Update behavior value estimate ,Based on the observed reward and the maximum value estimate of the next state, the state update trigger formula is: In the formula, α is the learning rate, c is a discount factor that determines the importance of future rewards relative to current rewards, is the behavior value estimate for the current state, Estimate the value of the action for the next state.
[0024] S4. Based on M Evaluate the health of bridge structures and Figure 1 The corresponding output Real-time monitoring and early warning are carried out, that is, when the output does not meet the requirements of the corresponding regulations, an early warning is given. M It is an estimate of the critical value determined based on actual conditions. For example, if the full score is 10, it can be assumed that when the score is lower than the predetermined score, there is no need for further in-depth study. At this time, the state value is considered to be the current state of the bridge.
[0025] In the decision optimization of this step, based on the reinforcement learning algorithm, the collection strategy can be automatically optimized according to the existing data requirements (such as current specifications, etc.), the optimal path can be selected, unnecessary path waste can be avoided, and the detection effect can be optimized. The algorithm involved in this step has high parameter sensitivity. Combined with the existing dynamic sensors, it can be timely and continuously self-iterated and updated, and the updated results can be fed back to the bridge structure. In addition, the reinforcement learning algorithm involved in this step can be visualized and connected to existing statistical analysis tools (such as Excel, etc.), and various statistical data can be given based on statistical principles. Based on the high sensitivity of the algorithm, the results can be fed back to the structure to provide decision parameter support in a timely manner.
[0026] 5. Real-time monitoring and early warning The central processing system applies the optimized detection strategy to actual bridge monitoring and analyzes the health status of the bridge in real time. Based on the detection results, it generates health status reports and early warning information, and provides maintenance recommendations and decision support.
