Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of health monitoring of road-bridge transition sections and intelligent transportation technology, and in particular to a method for deducing the position of a slatted slat in a road-bridge transition section based on vehicle acceleration. Background Art

[0002] Bridgehead slat debonding refers to the gap between the bridgehead slat and the roadbed, resulting in the slat losing its effective support. This phenomenon can cause a series of problems, seriously affecting the safety and service life of the road. Problem description: Due to slat debonding, vehicles experience noticeable bumps and bounces when passing through the bridgehead, reducing driving comfort, increasing driver fatigue, causing additional impact on the vehicle suspension system, shortening the vehicle life, and in severe cases, causing the vehicle to lose control and cause traffic accidents. The debonding area causes uneven stress on the slat, local stress concentration, and the slat may crack, break, or even fall off, resulting in insufficient road support and the appearance of cracks, potholes and other defects. Water may accumulate in the debonding area, causing the roadbed to soften, further exacerbating the problem. Bridge supports may be damaged due to uneven stress, followed by uneven settlement, further exacerbating structural damage, increasing road maintenance costs, and affecting driving safety, especially for vehicles traveling at high speeds.

[0003] Existing methods for detecting the location of gaps in the slabs at the transition section of a road bridge rely on manual inspections or fixed sensors, which are costly, inefficient, and unable to be monitored in real time. Furthermore, gaps and settlements in the slabs at the transition section of a road bridge are highly concealed, making it difficult for conventional detection methods to accurately locate and quantify them. Furthermore, existing research lacks sufficient research on the correlation between vehicle vibration signals and pavement defects, and lacks a systematic inversion model.

[0004] Therefore, the present invention proposes a method for deducing the position of the slab clearance in the transition section of a road bridge based on vehicle acceleration to solve the above problem. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention develops a method for deducing the position of the gap between the trestle and the bridge transition section based on vehicle acceleration.

S4. Use a Bayesian probability model to calibrate the condition of the rafting gap in the transition section of the road bridge. Collect vehicle acceleration data and vehicle type parameters to construct a likelihood function and prior distribution. Based on the likelihood function and prior distribution, infer the posterior distribution and calculate the posterior distribution using the MCMC Markov Chain Monte Carlo method. S5. Use the posterior distribution to estimate the damage caused by the gap, obtain the vehicle type parameters and the deflection value of the road-bridge transition section corresponding to the acceleration, calculate the maximum posterior estimate and confidence interval of the gap position, and continuously update the vehicle type parameters and the deflection value of the road-bridge transition section to update and predict the gap situation of the road-bridge transition section in real time.

[0023] Example 2 In order to prove the beneficial effects of the present invention, the hollow depth result obtained by the method of the present invention is verified. The hollow depth is the side length of the hollow surface calculated in the method of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the Bayesian prediction value in the present invention is compared with the true value. The experimental vehicle passes through the road bridge transition test section at 60 km / h. The acceleration data of the acceleration sensor when the vehicle passes is extracted. The MCMC method is run for 5000 sampling times. The 95% value of the MCMC sample is used as the calculation result. The posterior mean of the void position is K10+230 (pile number), and the posterior mean of the void depth is d=33.2 mm (95% confidence interval: 32.1-34.6 mm). The actual void depth is 34 mm. The calculated deflection value is very close to the true value. Laboratory verification shows that the error is only 2%, the settlement error is ≤3 mm, and the void depth inversion error is ≤5 mm. The method of the present invention is used to detect the detachment position of the bridge transition section, which can reduce the detection cost by more than 80% and increase the coverage to the entire road section. Compared with the geological radar detection results, the error of the method of the present invention is less than 5%.

[0024] Example 3 When testing multiple vehicles, the actual gap depth was known to be 34 mm, and the vehicle speed was 60 km / h. The posterior mean d after the first five vehicles passed was 32.7 mm (with an 8 mm confidence interval). The updated posterior mean d after the sixth to tenth vehicles passed was 33.4 mm (with a narrowed confidence interval of 4 mm). When the 15th vehicle's data was added, the confidence interval remained ≤3 mm, reaching the maintenance decision threshold. This demonstrates that the invented method can dynamically update the gap depth of a bridge-road transition section when multiple vehicles pass through.

Based on the technical solution of the present invention, various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative work are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
