[0133] This report includes the disease type determination result, accurate three-dimensional position coordinates, disease severity level assessment, and repair plan suggestions, providing a scientific basis for road maintenance decision-making.

[0134] The physical constraint depth fusion table-integrated disease imaging system implemented through the above steps achieves the following technical effects:

[0135] Improved disease detection sensitivity: This system realizes the high-precision detection ability for fine road diseases, improves the surface micro-crack detection sensitivity from 0.5 mm of the traditional method to 0.1 mm, and extends the underground cavity identification depth from 2.5 meters of the traditional method to 4 meters, providing technical possibilities for the ultra-early detection of diseases;

[0136] Enhanced environmental adaptability: This system maintains a detection accuracy of more than 98% under harsh environmental conditions (such as heavy rain, high temperature, severe cold, vibration noise, and electromagnetic interference), which is significantly improved compared with the detection accuracy of only 75% of the traditional single-modal detection technology under the same conditions;

[0137] Improved accuracy of disease classification: This system has increased the accuracy of disease classification in the early stage from 70% of traditional methods to 95%, reducing false alarms and missed detections, and significantly lowering unnecessary maintenance costs caused by misjudgments.

[0138] Disease development prediction function: By obtaining integrated surface and underground disease information, this system can predict the development trend of diseases in the next 3 - 6 months with an accuracy rate of 85%, providing a scientific basis for road maintenance decision-making.

[0139] Optimized detection speed and energy consumption: This system has increased the road disease detection speed by 2.5 times while reducing energy consumption by 40%, breaking through the limitation of the trade-off between speed and accuracy in traditional detection technologies.

[0140] Surface - underground correlation analysis ability: This system has realized the correlation analysis between surface and underground diseases for the first time, being able to determine the influence mechanism of underground structure changes on the development of surface diseases and the reflection law of surface conditions on underground structures, forming a complete disease evolution chain and laying a foundation for the full - cycle road health management.

[0141] Most significantly, for the detection of composite diseases such as "surface micro - cracks + base moisture intrusion", the accuracy rate of this method reaches 93.8%, while that of traditional methods is only 59.3%, an increase of 34.5 percentage points.

[0142] In this application example, two key technical effects of the physical - constraint depth - integrated surface - underground disease imaging system are mainly verified: the ability to detect micro - diseases and the environmental adaptability.

[0143] To verify the system's ability to detect micro - diseases, 32 disease sample points of different types and severities were selected on the example road section, including surface micro - cracks (width 0.05 - 0.5mm), interlayer debonding, base segregation, etc. True labeled data was obtained through core - drilling sampling. The detection results of this method were compared with those of traditional methods, as shown in Table 1:

[0144] Table 1: Comparison of the ability to detect micro - diseases:

[0145]

[0146] Data shows that the average detection rate of this method reaches 93.6%, an increase of 32.5 percentage points compared with 61.1% of traditional methods. Especially in the detection of micro - diseases, the minimum surface crack width that can be identified reaches 0.08mm, which is 6.25 times higher than 0.5mm of traditional methods; the maximum underground disease depth that can be detected reaches 380cm, which is 58.3% higher than 240cm of traditional methods. This effect benefits from the innovative use of cross - interference signals as information carriers and the application of physical - constraint super - resolution enhancement algorithms.

[0147] To verify the robustness of the system under different environmental conditions, multiple tests were conducted at the same detection point on a sample road section under different weather conditions and road conditions to evaluate the system's detection accuracy. The results are shown in Table 2:

[0148] Table 2: Comparison of detection accuracy under different environmental conditions:

[0149]

[0150] Improvement in anti-interference capability = (error reduction rate of this method - error reduction rate of traditional method) / error reduction rate of traditional method × 100%

[0151] Data shows that this method maintains a high detection accuracy across a wide range of environmental conditions, averaging 96.5%, a 25.1 percentage point improvement over the 71.4% achieved by traditional methods. The advantages of this method are particularly pronounced under adverse environmental conditions (such as heavy rain, flooded roads, and vehicle vibration interference), with accuracy improving by over 30 percentage points and interference immunity increasing by over 80%. This is primarily due to the method's deep integration of information from different physical fields, enabling the system to maintain overall performance by leveraging complementary information from another modality when one sensing modality is disturbed.

[0152] In summary, this application example fully verifies the technical effectiveness of the physical constraint deep fusion integrated internal and external disease imaging system, especially its significant advantages in micro-disease detection and environmental adaptability, providing strong support for the early and accurate identification of road diseases and full life cycle management.

[0153] In one embodiment of the present invention, an example of the aforementioned AI spatiotemporal digital intelligence method for pavement and underground diseases is provided:

[0154] Application Scenario Description: This implementation method is used for pavement disease detection and diagnosis on the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway section from K1457+200 to K1457+400. This section is an asphalt concrete pavement built in 2008. After more than 10 years of use, it has developed various defects such as surface cracks, interlayer debonding, and moisture intrusion into the base layer. This section has the following characteristics:

[0155] The annual average daily traffic (AADT) of the road section is as high as 42,000 vehicles, with heavy traffic accounting for 28.6%;

[0156] The road section spans two geological conditions: K1457+200 to K1457+300 is a rock foundation, and K1457+300 to K1457+400 is a soft soil foundation;

[0157] The road section is significantly affected by seasonal rainfall, with an annual rainfall of 1,280 mm;

[0158] There is a large regional temperature difference, with the highest temperature reaching 40°C in summer and the lowest temperature reaching -10°C in winter;

[0159] The road section is located in the suburban area of the city, and there are various electromagnetic interference sources;

[0160] The historical maintenance records of the road section show that traditional single detection methods cannot effectively identify deep diseases, resulting in the recurrence of diseases in the short term after maintenance.

[0161] This application scenario covers complex pavement structures, diverse environmental conditions, and severe traffic loads, representing the typical difficulties in disease detection of high-grade highways. This implementation method aims to achieve integrated surface and subsurface disease imaging through the physical constraint depth fusion method, providing a scientific basis for accurate diagnosis and targeted repair.

[0162] On the section of the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway from K1457+200 to K1457+400, a detection vehicle equipped with the following equipment is used for data collection:

[0163] A set of laser scanning systems (scanning frequency: 2000Hz, scanning width: 3.6m);

[0164] A set of micro-vibration sensor arrays (frequency response: 0.5 - 5000Hz, sampling rate: 25kHz);

[0165] A set of ground penetrating radar systems (center frequency: 1.6GHz, scanning depth: 5m);

[0166] A set of infrared thermal imaging systems (temperature resolution: 0.05°C, spatial resolution: 3mm);

[0167] Data collection is carried out under normal traffic conditions. The detection vehicle travels at a constant speed (60km / h), and each sensor synchronously collects data. The collection process is shown in Table 3:

[0168] Table 3: Parameters of the data collection process:

[0169]

[0170] Multiple collections are carried out under different environmental conditions to verify the stability and adaptability of the system under various conditions.

[0171] Example of Step 100, constructing a multi-scale wave field unified model:

[0172] Apply the first-step processing to the collected raw data to extract the characteristic information of each physical field. The results are shown in Table 4:

[0173] Table 4: Results of cross-physical field feature extraction:

[0174]

[0175] Feature extraction uses the convolutional sparse transform algorithm, combines expert knowledge for feature selection, effectively removes redundant information, reduces the feature dimension, and at the same time retains the maximized effective information.

[0176] Step 200 example, construct an interference signal analysis and feature enhancement mechanism:

[0177] The adaptive iterative separation algorithm is used to process the interference components between each sensing signal. For the typical mixed signal at the example section K1457+250, the iterative separation results are shown in Table 5:

[0178] Table 5: Iterative separation results of interference signals (at section K1457+250):

[0179]

[0180] Special attention is paid to the analysis results of the interference signals at four typical disease locations in the section. The interference components are converted into valuable feature information through the interference information conversion model, as shown in Table 6:

[0181] Table 6: Information enhancement results of interference signals (at four typical disease locations):

[0182]

[0183] Analysis shows that the recovery rate of the interference signal of the settlement and water intrusion composite disease at section K1457+315 is the highest, reaching 90.4%. This is mainly because water intrusion has a significant impact on both the electromagnetic wave and the thermal field, and the interference signal contains rich water distribution information.
