[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the continuous advancement of infrastructure construction, foundation pit projects have become increasingly common in various construction and transportation projects. Due to their complex geological conditions, surrounding environment and uncertainties in the construction process, foundation pit projects face many safety risks and technical challenges. In order to effectively respond to these challenges, a foundation pit monitoring system based on building information modeling has emerged and combined with a variety of advanced technologies to achieve comprehensive, real-time and intelligent monitoring of the foundation pit construction process.
[0003] There are still some problems in the use of existing BIM-based foundation pit monitoring systems. Traditional foundation pit monitoring systems usually rely on a centralized data processing architecture, and data is transmitted from sensors to a central server for processing and analysis. This approach is prone to data transmission delays and low processing efficiency when faced with large amounts of real-time data. In addition, existing systems often have certain delays when processing and analyzing data, and cannot achieve true real-time monitoring and early warning.
