Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of civil engineering technology, and more specifically, to a method for detecting anomalies in road and bridge parameters. Background Technology
[0002] To ensure the safe operation and extend the service life of road and bridge structures, real-time monitoring and analysis of structural parameters has become a routine task for highway operation and maintenance units. Currently, common structural monitoring parameters include strain, deflection, displacement, tilt angle, acceleration, and temperature. These parameters reflect the response characteristics of bridge structures under different loads and environmental conditions. Analysis of these parameters can effectively identify the structural health status and potential safety hazards.
[0003] However, in actual operation, many factors influence road and bridge parameters, including natural conditions such as traffic load and ambient temperature, as well as engineering defects such as structural aging, uneven foundation settlement, and loose connecting components. The superposition of these factors often leads to complex changes in parameter data, such as nonlinearity, abrupt changes, and periodic disturbances, making it difficult to identify abnormal states. Currently, widely used anomaly detection methods mainly include threshold judgment methods, statistical modeling methods, and machine learning-based intelligent identification methods. Among them, traditional threshold methods, although simple to implement, are difficult to handle the joint analysis of multi-dimensional complex parameters and are prone to false alarms and missed alarms; statistical modeling methods are sensitive to data distribution assumptions and have poor adaptability; while intelligent identification methods have improved accuracy, they are often difficult to promote and apply in practice due to problems such as algorithm complexity, insufficient model generalization ability, and strong sample dependence.
[0004] In addition, existing methods generally have the following problems: First, the parameter data quality control mechanism is not sound, and it is difficult to effectively distinguish between outliers and sensing noise; second, there is a lack of modeling constraints for the physical characteristics of road and bridge structures, resulting in a certain "black box" nature of the detection results; third, the coupling relationship between spatial distribution and temporal evolution characteristics is not fully considered, making it difficult to identify some potential anomalies in a timely manner.
[0005] In summary, how to construct a high-precision, robust, and interpretable anomaly detection method for the multi-source parameter characteristics of road and bridge structures has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Step 4: Jointly identify and comprehensively assess sudden structural damage and gradual degradation processes;
[0011] Step 5: Quantitatively analyze the degree of deviation of the bridge's health status and generate a standardized bridge health index.
[0012] Furthermore, step 1 includes the following steps:
[0013] Structural response parameters and environmental impact parameters are collected through a distributed sensor network and preprocessed to form a structured multidimensional time series dataset.

[0023] Identify the community structure and key nodes in the network, and calculate the global and local characteristic parameters of the network, including average path length, clustering coefficient, centrality and robustness index;
[0024] As monitoring data continues to accumulate, the edge weights and topology of the spatiotemporal correlation network are updated regularly to dynamically reflect the changes in the correlation characteristics of the bridge structure over time.
[0025] Furthermore, the process of establishing the environment-structure mapping function library includes:
[0026] Establish a linear mapping relationship between environmental parameters and structural response, and calculate the sensitivity coefficients of each environmental factor;
[0027] A response delay parameter τ is introduced to quantify the time delay effect between environmental changes and structural responses. For temperature field changes, short-term response delay τ1 and long-term response delay τ2 are set.
[0028] Establish a nonlinear mapping function f(E,τ) between environmental parameters and structural response, where E represents the environmental parameter vector;
[0029] Based on seasonality analysis, a seasonal adjustment coefficient matrix S of environment-structure mapping is constructed to reflect the differences in structural response under different seasonal conditions.
[0030] Furthermore, step 2 includes the following steps:

The contribution of each factor to the anomaly is quantitatively analyzed, and the real anomalies caused by structural performance changes are identified and evaluated.
[0046] Based on the differences in structural response over time scales caused by different factors, the relationship between different time patterns and environmental disturbances, load changes and structural damage is analyzed.
[0047] By analyzing the spatial distribution characteristics of structural responses, the spatial propagation patterns of anomalous responses are identified, and the measured spatial distribution is compared with the expected pattern to assess the locality or globality of the anomaly.
[0048] Calculate the confidence level and uncertainty of the cause of the anomaly, and make root cause judgments based on the set rules to achieve anomaly attribution decision.
[0049] Furthermore, the construction of the abnormal pattern feature library includes:
[0050] Collect and organize historical abnormal event data, including anomalies caused by environmental factors, anomalies caused by overload, anomalies caused by structural damage, and anomalies caused by sensor failure;

[0067] By comparing and analyzing the measured data with the predicted values of the reference model, a multi-dimensional deviation index system including frequency domain characteristics, time domain characteristics and energy distribution characteristics is established to achieve comprehensive capture of abnormal bridge conditions.
[0068] Based on the spatiotemporal distribution patterns of deviation indicators at each monitoring point, a comprehensive scoring mechanism considering structural importance, parameter sensitivity, and anomaly persistence is constructed, and the multidimensional deviation indicators are mapped to a standardized health index within the range of [0-100].
[0069] By combining seasonal changes and long-term deterioration factors, a probabilistic prediction of the future condition of bridges is made.
[0070] The overall health index is decomposed into key component level and functional unit level indicators to achieve a mapping of health status from macro to micro, accurately locate potential problem areas, and quantitatively assess their impact on the overall structural safety.
