Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cable tunnel fire prevention and control technology, and relates to a method and system for extinguishing cable tunnel fires using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that combines emergency intervention and inspection and early warning. Background Technology
[0002] As a crucial underground infrastructure in cities, cable tunnels have always been a focus of industry attention regarding fire safety. Currently, fire prevention and control in cable tunnels primarily relies on fixed sensor networks and track-mounted mobile robots for inspection and early warning. For example, some studies have proposed deploying guide rails and drive devices within the tunnel to mount dry powder fire extinguishers, control boxes, and other equipment on mobile carts for inspection and fire suppression. Other solutions utilize track-mounted robots equipped with cameras and infrared 3D imaging devices to detect the tunnel environment and quickly extinguish small fires. While these methods can achieve fire monitoring and response to some extent, they are limited by track deployment and robot movement, making it difficult to achieve comprehensive coverage and rapid response across the entire tunnel space.
[0003] In recent years, fire source localization methods based on SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology have gradually emerged. Some studies utilize lidar and SLAM algorithms to construct real-time maps and identify fire sources by capturing images with cameras, converting image coordinates into actual coordinates to achieve spatial localization of the fire source. Other approaches propose calibrating visible light cameras, infrared thermal imagers, and depth cameras, fusing temperature field and depth information to achieve accurate identification and spatial localization of mobile heat sources. While these technologies have made some progress in fire source localization, most remain limited to ground platforms and do not fully utilize the maneuverability of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to cope with complex tunnel environments.
[0004] Regarding the collaborative operation of drones and firefighting robots, existing research has proposed establishing a three-dimensional spatial geometric positioning model to acquire the three-dimensional coordinates of the drones and robots in real time, and to perform online compensation for the water cannon spray angle to improve accuracy. However, these solutions are mainly aimed at open outdoor scenarios and do not consider the special characteristics of enclosed spaces such as cable tunnels. Furthermore, existing technologies generally suffer from a disconnect between emergency response and routine inspections, lacking comprehensive closed-loop management. In particular, there is still significant room for improvement in utilizing digital twin technology for time-series temperature field analysis and achieving seamless integration from routine inspections to emergency response.
[0005] Existing cable tunnel fire monitoring systems suffer from problems such as untimely early warnings and low accuracy in locating fire sources. Traditional fixed sensor networks have limited coverage, making it difficult to effectively track dynamic heat sources. Meanwhile, in tunnel environments where GPS signals are limited, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms face challenges in navigation and positioning accuracy, affecting the accurate location of fire sources and timely intervention. These problems often result in missed golden hours for fire response, increasing the risk of fire spread.
[0006] Furthermore, traditional cable tunnel fire prevention and control systems suffer from a disconnect between emergency response and post-incident analysis, lacking a comprehensive closed-loop management mechanism. Existing technologies struggle to achieve seamless integration from hazard warning and real-time monitoring to emergency response, resulting in low overall system response efficiency and an inability to adapt to complex and ever-changing fire situations. Moreover, traditional methods are deficient in the fusion and utilization of multi-source heterogeneous data, hindering comprehensive perception and accurate assessment of the fire situation.
[0007] Finally, existing technologies still need improvement in autonomous navigation, precision firefighting, and intelligent decision-making for drones in the complex environment of cable tunnels. In particular, key technologies such as stable flight control of drones, dynamic path planning, and precise delivery of firefighting devices have not yet been effectively resolved in narrow, high-temperature, and smoke-filled tunnel environments. These issues limit the widespread application and effectiveness of drone firefighting systems in critical infrastructure such as cable tunnels. Summary of the Invention

After deployment, it continuously monitors the temperature changes in the target area to determine whether the fire has been effectively suppressed.
[0018] Preferably, in S5, by comparing the digital twin model of the current time with the digital twin model of the historical inspection cycle, the temperature rise trend is analyzed and potential hidden dangers are identified for early warning, specifically including: S501: The UAV maintains a stable flight state according to the preset trajectory, performs daily inspection tasks, and obtains the digital twin model Model-t0 of the current time and the digital twin model Model-t1 of the previous inspection cycle; S502: Employs a point cloud registration algorithm to spatially align Model-t0 and Model-t1; S503: Perform a difference operation on the aligned Model-t0 and Model-t1 to obtain the temperature change at each location point in the tunnel; S504: Determine whether the temperature change exceeds the sensitivity threshold of the temperature rise trend. If so, the corresponding location point is taken as a potential hidden danger point, and a digital twin model of an earlier inspection cycle is obtained to construct a temperature change time series of the potential hidden danger point.

Detailed Implementation
[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this invention. The embodiments described in this invention are merely some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the spirit of this invention, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this invention.
[0035] Embodiment 1 of this invention provides a method for extinguishing fires in cable tunnels using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), combining emergency intervention and early warning systems. This addresses problems in existing technologies such as untimely fire warnings, low accuracy in fire source location, and the disconnect between emergency response and post-incident analysis. The method primarily involves a digital twin engine, autonomous navigation, and fire extinguishing execution. The digital twin engine constructs and updates a three-dimensional geometric environment model and a dynamic spatiotemporal projection of the temperature field of the cable tunnel, providing data support for fire source location and fire trend analysis. Autonomous navigation, based on the digital twin model, integrates laser point cloud and inertial navigation data to achieve high-precision three-dimensional positioning and map construction in environments where GPS signals are blocked. Fire extinguishing execution, based on the three-dimensional fire source location results, invokes a ballistic compensation control model to precisely adjust the firing parameters of the fire extinguishing equipment. Specifically, as shown... Figure 3 As shown, the method includes: S1: The drone enters the cable tunnel and collects environmental point cloud data, drone motion status data and two-dimensional thermal imaging frame data in real time through airborne sensors; More preferably, in this embodiment of the invention, the construction of the digital twin model is the core of the system.
[0036] Option 1) The digital twin model is constructed based on the tunnel spatial coordinate system. Combined with the cable temperature rise model, the temperature field is superimposed onto the geometric model to form a time-series digital twin model. Details are as follows: First, define the tunnel spatial coordinate system. ,in The axis runs along the length of the tunnel. and The axes represent the width and height, respectively. The tunnel geometry model can be represented as:
[0037] in, The length of the tunnel. For width, This is a function of the height of the arched top.
[0038] Combining the cable temperature rise model, the temperature field Superimposed on the geometric model, forming a time-series digital twin model:
[0039] Option 2) In this embodiment of the invention, the coordinate system definition method for constructing the digital twin model can adopt an alternative scheme.
[0040] Specifically, the Cartesian coordinate system can be... Convert to cylindrical coordinate system ,in Indicates radial distance. Indicates the azimuth angle.
[0041] The corresponding geometric model can be reconstructed as ,in Describes the shape function of the tunnel cross-section.
[0042] This alternative approach, by altering the spatial parameterization method, still maintains the three-dimensional temperature field. It has precise projection capabilities and is better suited to the modeling needs of circular cross-section tunnels.
[0043] More preferably, in this embodiment of the invention, a multi-source data fusion strategy is also proposed: The extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm can be used to achieve multi-source sensor data fusion.
[0044] Define the state vector of the unmanned aerial vehicle system ,in , , These are the quaternions for position, velocity, and attitude, respectively. and For the bias of the accelerometer and gyroscope.
[0045] The system state prediction equation is:
[0046] in, For the previous moment State estimates, For control input, it refers to the control commands or motion status information of the UAV at time k; For a moment State values, corresponding to the system state vector ; The observation update equations are:
[0047] in, and These are the nonlinear state transition function and the observation function, respectively. and For process noise and observation noise, Let be the state covariance matrix. For Kalman gain, Let k be the observation at time k. To observe the noise covariance matrix, Let h(⋅) be the Jacobian matrix of h(⋅) in the current state.
[0048] The filtering algorithm outputs the high-precision position p, velocity v, and attitude quaternion q of the UAV in the tunnel coordinate system. At the same time, it estimates and corrects the bias of the accelerometer and gyroscope. The results can be used as input data for subsequent digital twin model construction (S201-S204) and abnormal heat source analysis (S402-S403).
[0049] Specifically, the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) can be replaced by the Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF), which approximates a nonlinear distribution through Sigma point sampling, and the state prediction equation can be rewritten as:
[0050] in For the Sigma point set, Here, n represents the corresponding weight coefficients, and n is the dimension of the system state vector. This alternative avoids the calculation of the Jacobian matrix and maintains positioning accuracy even in strongly nonlinear scenarios.
[0051] Another alternative is to use particle filtering (PF), which achieves posterior probability estimation through importance sampling and is suitable for non-Gaussian noise environments.
[0052] S2: Construct and update a digital twin model containing the three-dimensional geometry and thermal field distribution of the cable tunnel based on real-time collected data; More preferably, by fusing data from lidar, inertial measurement unit, and infrared thermal imager after the drone enters the cable tunnel, a digital twin model containing three-dimensional geometry and thermal field distribution is constructed and updated in real time, such as... Figure 4 As shown, it specifically includes: S201: Perform geometric and pose calculations on the real-time collected environmental point cloud data and the motion state data of the UAV to generate a three-dimensional geometric point cloud map of the cable tunnel and the real-time pose of the UAV in the map. Environmental point cloud data and UAV motion state data (including angular velocity and acceleration) are simultaneously acquired by LiDAR and IMU. The SLAM algorithm is used to jointly process these sensor data to generate a 3D point cloud map and the UAV's six degrees of freedom (6-DoF) position data.
[0053] S202: Process the real-time acquired two-dimensional thermal imaging frame data, assign a corresponding temperature value to each pixel, and form a two-dimensional temperature matrix. S203: Based on the extrinsic calibration matrix between sensors and the real-time pose of the UAV in the map, calculate the projection relationship of each frame of thermal imaging in three-dimensional space. S204: Project the two-dimensional temperature matrix onto the three-dimensional geometric point cloud map according to the projection relationship, and assign a corresponding temperature attribute value to each three-dimensional point in the three-dimensional geometric point cloud map to form a digital twin model of the current moment containing the three-dimensional geometric structure and thermal field distribution of the cable tunnel.
[0054] Based on the external parameter relationships between sensors and the UAV's position data, the system calculates the relationship between each 3D point and infrared thermal imaging data, and maps the temperature information to the corresponding point cloud. Combined with the temperature data, the system can analyze the temperature distribution in the environment, thereby better assisting in the identification and classification of obstacles.
[0055] Through this series of data fusion processes, this method can efficiently and accurately identify obstacles in the environment and provide reliable support for subsequent path planning and flight safety.
[0056] S3: Locate the location of abnormal heat sources based on the thermal anomaly function, and calculate the comprehensive early warning index after locating the abnormal heat sources. ,like If the preset threshold is exceeded, an emergency fire is triggered and the system enters S4 (emergency intervention mode); otherwise, it enters S5 (inspection and early warning mode). More preferably, during operation, the system compares and judges the digital twin model with the monitored temperature field data to determine whether there is an abnormal heat source exceeding the preset emergency threshold. When an abnormal heat source is detected and the comprehensive warning index exceeds the preset threshold, the system will enter the emergency intervention mode, implement three-dimensional positioning and call the ballistic correction model to accurately guide the fire extinguishing device to carry out targeted elimination operations. If no emergency fire is found, the system will enter the inspection and early warning mode, identify potential temperature rise trends and thermal anomaly evolution by comparing and analyzing the real-time model with the historical model, and generate inspection reports and early warning information.
[0057] The algorithm for locating abnormal heat sources is as follows: Option 1) Based on the fire formation mechanism, this embodiment of the invention designs a fire source location method based on thermal anomalies. By comparing the mean and standard deviation of real-time temperature with historical temperature data, the fire source location is accurately determined. The thermal anomaly function is defined as follows:
[0058] in, and These represent the mean and standard deviation of historical temperature data, respectively. The estimated location of the fire source is:
[0059] in, The set of all points in the current digital twin model; This refers to the temperature field in a digital twin model.
[0060] Option 2) The decision function of the abnormal heat source localization algorithm can be modified. Specifically, the standardized thermal anomaly function... This can be replaced by a function that represents the ratio of absolute temperature difference to historical peak value:
[0061] in This represents the historical extreme temperature value at the location.
[0062] Option 3) Another alternative is to use multivariate anomaly detection based on the covariance matrix, constructing a Mahalanobis distance function:
[0063] in Let be the spatiotemporal covariance matrix of the temperature field. , That is , .
[0064] The location of the anomalous heat source is estimated to be the point that maximizes the Mahalanobis distance, i.e.:
[0065] This approach improves the robustness of positioning in complex heat conduction scenarios by considering spatial correlation characteristics.
[0066] The early warning decision-making model is as follows: This invention constructs a comprehensive early warning index:
[0067] in, , , These are the weighting coefficients. For temperature field and insulation degradation status The fire probability model has a logical variable F representing the fire occurrence event, where a value of 1 indicates that a fire has occurred and a value of 0 indicates that a fire has not occurred. This represents the thermal anomaly function value corresponding to the location of the abnormal heat source; This represents the cable tunnel region for which volume integration is performed (i.e., the geometric volume covered by the current digital twin model). It is a standard mathematical symbol representing the volume element of a volume integral. This invention integrates local anomalies, global temperature rise rate, and fire probability models into a unified early warning indicator, solving the problem of unreliable single threshold judgment and realizing multi-dimensional comprehensive decision-making.
[0068] Early warning decision model When the preset threshold is exceeded, the system triggers an early warning and initiates an emergency response process.
[0069] S4: Based on the digital twin model, abnormal heat source analysis is performed and trajectory correction is carried out to guide the fire extinguishing device to carry out targeted elimination operations; More preferably, abnormal heat sources are analyzed and ballistic corrections are performed based on a digital twin model to guide the fire extinguishing device to carry out targeted elimination operations, such as... Figure 5 As shown, it specifically includes: S401: Upon receiving an emergency fire trigger signal, retrieve the latest digital twin model of the moment the emergency fire was triggered, and based on the comprehensive early warning index... The point cloud in the model is filtered to identify all high-temperature points (comprehensive early warning index). Points exceeding the alarm temperature threshold form an abnormal heat source cloud cluster; S402: The system applies centroid calculation or RANSAC algorithm to the abnormal heat source point cloud cluster to accurately calculate its geometric center coordinates in three-dimensional space, and obtain the real-time pose information of the UAV and the relative attitude of the fire extinguishing device (including the initial velocity of the fire extinguishing agent). S403: The system takes the target coordinates, UAV attitude, initial velocity of the fire extinguishing agent and environmental parameters (such as airflow velocity in the tunnel) obtained by the airborne sensors as input data, loads them into the ballistic correction model for calculation, and obtains the projection direction compensation required to hit the target based on the model solution results, including pitch angle correction α and azimuth angle correction β. S404: Adjusting the projection axis of the drone and the fire extinguishing device to the corrected direction through attitude control; S405: The drone performs the deployment of extinguishing agents from its onboard fire suppression system, such as dry powder or high-pressure water mist. After deployment, the system continuously monitors temperature changes in the target area using an infrared thermal imager to determine whether the fire has been effectively contained. Data is recorded and reported upon mission completion.
[0070] This method integrates point cloud processing, attitude control, and ballistic correction calculations to enable UAVs to accurately identify fires and perform efficient firefighting operations in complex environments. It has the advantages of fast response speed, high firefighting accuracy, and strong environmental adaptability.
[0071] S5: By comparing the digital twin model of the current time with the digital twin model of the historical inspection cycle, analyze the temperature rise trend and identify potential hidden dangers for early warning; More preferably, by comparing the digital twin model of the current time with the digital twin model of the historical inspection cycle, the temperature rise trend is analyzed and potential hidden dangers are identified for early warning, such as... Figure 6 As shown, it specifically includes: S501: The UAV maintains a stable flight state according to the preset trajectory, performs daily inspection tasks, and obtains the digital twin model Model-t0 of the current time and the digital twin model Model-t1 of the previous inspection cycle; S502: Employs a point cloud registration algorithm to spatially align Model-t0 and Model-t1; S503: Perform a difference operation on the aligned Model-t0 and Model-t1 to obtain the temperature change at each location point in the tunnel; S504: Determine whether the temperature change exceeds the sensitivity threshold of the temperature rise trend. If so, the corresponding location point is taken as a potential hidden danger point, and a digital twin model of an earlier inspection cycle is obtained to construct a temperature change time series of the potential hidden danger point. S505: Perform fitting analysis on the temperature change time series, calculate the future temperature rise rate, and predict the time required to reach the alarm temperature threshold based on the rate. S506: Graded early warning based on prediction results: If the predicted time is lower than the set value, a high-priority early warning is generated; otherwise, a general attention notice is generated, and the monitoring frequency of the area corresponding to the potential hazard point is automatically increased in future inspections.
[0072] More preferably, the present invention also proposes a dual-modal system workflow: The dual-modal (co-optimization of UAV state trajectory and control input) workflow of this invention integrates fire combustion dynamics, heat conduction equations, extinguishing agent effects, and UAV control input into a unified dual-modal coupled dynamics framework.
