[0030] In this embodiment, the latest bridge health data is dynamically acquired and input into the artificial intelligence model to adjust the bridge load management strategy. This step ensures that the system can respond to changes in the bridge in real time, and by updating the analysis model and control strategy, the system can adapt to different bridge management needs, ensuring that bridge load management is always in an optimal state. Over time, the health status of the bridge and the external environment may change, leading to a decrease in the model's prediction accuracy.

This step ensures that the bridge load management system can be continuously adjusted and improved in practical applications to adapt to changes or unexpected situations that may occur during bridge load management. Based on the feedback information of the adjustment effects, the artificial intelligence model is optimized. By analyzing the errors and effects of each adjustment, the system can gradually optimize the model's predictive ability and improve its parameters. This process is typically carried out using incremental learning methods. The goal of incremental learning is to update the model based on new feedback data without retraining the entire model.

[0033] Based on the updated model results, the control strategy will be further optimized according to the new model. For example, after each adjustment, if the system detects that certain control measures (such as speed limits and traffic flow adjustments) are insufficient to effectively control the bridge load, the system will automatically adjust the control strategy through optimization algorithms. The goal of optimizing the control strategy is to minimize bridge load fluctuations and maintain the safety of the bridge structure.

[0034] After each round of feedback and optimization, the system continues with the next round of real-time monitoring and adjustment based on the latest model and control strategy. As the feedback and optimization cycle continues, the system can gradually improve the model's prediction accuracy and optimize the control strategy, enabling the bridge load management system to better adapt to different bridge operating conditions and traffic patterns.

[0035] The following is an example: A large highway bridge in a certain city experiences a daily traffic flow of over 100,000 vehicles, with heavy trucks accounting for approximately 15%. Built 20 years ago, the bridge has suffered varying degrees of fatigue damage and localized deformation in recent years due to increased traffic volume and frequent heavy vehicle traffic. Traditional bridge load management methods rely primarily on periodic manual inspections and single-sensor monitoring, which suffer from problems such as delayed data updates, poor real-time performance, and limited predictive capabilities, making it difficult to promptly detect safety hazards such as overloading and fatigue damage.

[0036] To ensure the structural safety of bridges and avoid potential risks caused by overloading and uneven loads, bridge management authorities decided to introduce an intelligent bridge load management system. The artificial intelligence-based intelligent bridge load management method described in this patent can be applied to this scenario, enabling real-time monitoring, prediction, and optimized management of bridge loads.

GPS devices collect real-time vehicle location information, the WIM system collects vehicle weight information, strain gauges measure the degree of bridge deformation, and anemometers measure wind speed and other environmental information. Sample data is shown in Table 1. Table 1 A truck is located at (x1, y1) at time t1 and at (x2, y2) at time t2. Calculate the truck's speed v using the formula: The dynamic weighing system measures the vehicle's pressure F, and calculates the vehicle's weight W using the sensitivity coefficient S. Strain gauges measure the deformation of a bridge under load. The original length of the bridge is L0, and the length after deformation under load is L. The strain ϵ can then be expressed as: The anemometer measures the wind speed as V. w The wind force F is calculated using the following formula. w : Where ρ is the air density, A is the windward area, and C is the air density. d This is the drag coefficient.

[0038] 2. Data preprocessing: such as Figure 2 As shown, the Z-score method is used to detect and remove outliers. For example, in a collection of vehicle weight data, the Z-score of a certain vehicle's weight W is 4.5, exceeding the threshold of 3, and is therefore identified as an outlier and removed. The min-max normalization method is used to standardize the data, ensuring that data from different sources are compared on the same scale. For example, after standardization, the Z-score of the vehicle weight data W is X... norm Represented as: During the data cleaning process, outliers caused by equipment failure, transmission errors, or human interference are removed to ensure data quality and availability.

[0040] 4. Analysis and Optimization: Based on the bridge load response y predicted by the model... bridge The model analyzes the structural response of bridges under different load conditions. For example, the model predicts the maximum stress on the bridge at a certain moment. The system automatically adjusts traffic flow control strategies to optimize bridge load distribution. A target function is set. To minimize the maximum stress on the bridge: By optimizing traffic flow and vehicle speed, the load pressure on the bridge is minimized. Traffic flow control measures such as speed limits and lane allocation are adjusted. Table 2 shows some of the bridge load management effects before and after optimization. Table 2 5.

For example, the real-time monitoring data of a bridge at a certain moment is... The model outputs the predicted bridge load response. ; Figure 4 It demonstrates the actual effects of bridge load management and compares data before and after optimization.

[0041] Based on real-time prediction results, traffic flow control strategies are dynamically adjusted. For example, when a bridge monitoring point detects overload, the system automatically adjusts traffic flow or speed limits to reduce the bridge load. Over time, the health status of the bridge and the external environment may change, leading to a decrease in the model's prediction accuracy. The system automatically updates the model to adapt to changes in bridge condition by monitoring data and prediction errors in real time.

[0042] 6. Feedback and Optimization: Record the results of each adjustment measure. adjust And analyze the adjustment effect. For example, the bridge load response data after a certain adjustment is... Calculation error Based on the feedback, optimize the artificial intelligence model. For example, update the model parameters θ using incremental learning methods: The control strategy is optimized based on the updated model.
