Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of road engineering, and in particular to a method for identifying and detecting flooded road sections based on three-dimensional elevation data. Background Art

[0002] When a car travels on a highway, it relies primarily on friction between the tires and the road surface. When a car brakes, friction between the tires and the road surface is a significant factor affecting stopping distance. However, due to factors such as construction and road surface alignment, some roads may experience water accumulation, significantly impacting driving safety.

[0003] With the increasing emphasis on highway safety, it is essential to treat flooded sections of roads in order to improve driving safety. This has also become a consensus in engineering practice. Therefore, it is necessary to identify flooded sections of roads in order to determine the treatment sections.

[0004] However, there is currently a lack of effective and scientific methods for identifying flooded sections of road. In engineering practice, manual inspections of waterlogged areas after heavy rain are often used. This method is subject to interference from weather and personnel, and its accuracy and effectiveness are subject to significant controversy. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a method for identifying and detecting flooded sections on asphalt roads that can provide scientific data, effectively and accurately identify flooded sections, and provide a scientific basis for determining these areas.

It can be determined that the left side is the drainage edge line. By comparing it with the elevation of the lowest point of the drainage marking line (1mm), a total of 7 risk water accumulation points were identified, of which 4 risk water accumulation points are adjacent, meeting the identification criteria for water accumulation points. Therefore, there is a water accumulation point on the road section. To ensure driving safety, it is recommended to deal with this section. See for details.
