Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of subway tunnel structure health monitoring, and in particular to a system and method for vehicle-mounted 3D ultrasonic monitoring of subway tunnel structure health. Background Art
[0002] As an important part of urban rail transit, the structural health of subway tunnels is directly related to operational safety. With the acceleration of urbanization, the construction and operation mileage of subway tunnels are increasing, and the demand for monitoring the structural health of tunnels is becoming increasingly urgent. Unlike LiDAR and cameras, ultrasonic sensors are less affected by environmental factors (such as insufficient light, dust or temperature changes). Ultrasound can also detect reflective or transparent surfaces, such as glass or mirrors. Obviously, other traditional monitoring methods, such as manual inspections, levels, total stations, GPS, displacement meters, etc., have monitoring blind spots (only monitoring the surface, deep layers such as cavities, density behind tunnel walls, etc.), insufficient accuracy, etc., and it is difficult to meet the high requirements of modern rail transit for safety and real-time performance.
[0003] Therefore, developing a new monitoring method can make up for the deficiencies of traditional monitoring elements of the health status of tunnel structures, which is of great significance for ensuring the safe operation of rail transit. Summary of the invention
