[0018] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only for illustration and explanation of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments based on the following content of the present invention. In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the technical terms used in the present invention should have the ordinary meaning understood by those skilled in the art.

[0019] Example: This invention discloses a tunnel safety monitoring and control method based on the Internet of Things, including: step S100, constructing a virtual tunnel structure model based on the tunnel design structure.

[0020] The core principle of step S100 is to construct a highly realistic virtual tunnel structure model based on the actual design structure of the tunnel using digital twin technology. This model serves as the digital foundation of the entire system, fully replicating the spatial layout, geometric features, and structural attributes of the physical tunnel. It provides a unified virtual environment for subsequent sensor data mapping, hazard simulation, and real-time event analysis. This virtual mirroring ensures a precise correspondence between the physical tunnel and the digital model, achieving spatial unification and visual representation of multi-dimensional data. This avoids the problems of data dispersion and spatial inconsistency in traditional monitoring systems, laying the foundation for the accurate operation of the entire system.

[0021] Step S200: Distribute several types of IoT sensor nodes in the tunnel and set corresponding virtual sensor nodes in the corresponding virtual tunnel structure model to collect multi-dimensional environmental data parameters, structural health data parameters and traffic status data parameters, and associate them with the corresponding virtual sensor nodes.

[0022] The principle behind step S200 lies in establishing a real-time data connection between the physical tunnel and the virtual model. This is achieved by distributing multiple IoT sensor nodes in key areas of the tunnel and correspondingly setting virtual sensor nodes in the virtual model, enabling continuous collection and precise correlation of multi-dimensional environmental data, structural health data, and traffic status data. This step employs a distributed monitoring strategy to form a comprehensive sensor network, ensuring that the collected data is mapped to the corresponding locations in the virtual model in real time. This provides reliable multi-source data support for the construction of a hazard manifestation database and real-time event identification, overcoming the limitations of single-sensor monitoring and achieving complete data fusion and dynamic synchronization within the digital twin environment.

[0023] Step S300: Construct several dangerous emergencies, and based on the dangerous emergencies, determine the IoT sensor nodes associated with the dangerous emergencies, and based on the event details of the dangerous emergencies, determine the dynamic data parameters of the corresponding IoT sensor nodes to obtain the dangerous manifestations of the virtual tunnel structure model, and based on all the dangerous manifestations of the virtual tunnel structure model, construct a dangerous manifestation library.

[0024] Step S300 works by pre-constructing virtual evolution processes of typical hazardous emergencies through various methods, generating corresponding hazard manifestations, and compiling them into a standardized library. Specifically, this includes reproducing real-world event manifestations using historical accident data, and simulating the development of different hazard sources under various locations and conditions in a virtual model using multiphysics simulation tools. This process acquires dynamic data changes from associated sensor nodes and spatial performance characteristics of the model, defining these characteristics as hazard manifestations. The core of this step is to establish a comprehensive manifestation library covering multiple disaster types, providing a reliable benchmark for real-time monitoring, enabling a shift from passive monitoring to proactive prediction, and enhancing the system's pattern recognition capabilities for complex emergencies.

[0025] Step S400: Analyze the event location performance characteristics and sensor dynamic data parameter changes under the real-time performance of the virtual tunnel structure model, find the matching dangerous performance in the dangerous performance database, analyze the similarity between the event location performance characteristics and sensor dynamic data parameter changes and the dangerous performance, and issue an early warning based on the similarity performance.

[0026] Step S400 operates on the principle of real-time dynamic analysis and similarity matching. Through in-depth analysis of the event location characteristics and sensor dynamic data changes in the virtual model, similar manifestations are quickly filtered from a hazard manifestation database. Subsequently, through geometric comparison of location features and difference analysis of data sequences, the degree of similarity between the real-time event and the hazard manifestations in the database is quantified, triggering corresponding early warnings. This step integrates spatial location features with multi-dimensional temporal data features, enabling accurate identification of early signs of disasters, significantly improving the accuracy and timeliness of early warnings, and reducing false alarms and missed alarms.

[0027] In some embodiments disclosed in this invention, the method for constructing several dangerous emergencies includes: step S201, collecting tunnel historical accident data parameters and historical monitoring data parameters, wherein the historical accident data parameters include accident type, location of occurrence and consequences of accident, and the historical monitoring data parameters include multidimensional environmental data parameters, structural health data parameters and traffic status data parameters for a period of time before and after the accident.

[0028] Step S202: Based on historical accident data parameters and historical monitoring data parameters, configure the virtual tunnel structure model to obtain the dangerous performance of the virtual tunnel structure model.

[0029] In some embodiments disclosed in this invention, the method for constructing several dangerous emergencies includes: step S203, constructing a virtual simulation model for a virtual tunnel structure model, including setting a variety of predefined hazard sources and triggering conditions in the virtual tunnel structure model, wherein the hazard sources include fire, collapse, flood, toxic gas leakage and vehicle collision.

[0030] Step S204: Using fluid dynamics simulation, structural mechanics simulation, and traffic flow simulation tools, the evolution process of each hazard source under different locations, intensities, and propagation conditions is simulated to obtain the dynamic data parameter sequence of virtual sensor nodes during the evolution of the hazard event and the positional changes of the virtual tunnel structure model.

[0031] Step 205: Define the type of hazard source, its location, evolution results, dynamic data parameter sequences of different virtual sensor nodes, and positional changes of the virtual tunnel structure model as hazard manifestations.

[0032] In some embodiments disclosed in this invention, the method for simulating the evolution of various hazard sources under different locations, intensities, and propagation conditions includes: step S2041, for fire hazard sources, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation tools combined with heat transfer models to simulate smoke diffusion, temperature field distribution, and visibility changes under fire source location, combustion intensity, oxygen concentration, and ventilation conditions, to obtain dynamic data parameter sequences of temperature, smoke concentration, and CO concentration for the corresponding virtual sensor nodes.

[0033] The core principle of step S2041 is to use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation tools combined with a heat transfer model to perform high-precision simulations of the evolution of fire hazards under different fire source locations, combustion intensities, oxygen concentrations, and ventilation conditions. The focus is on reproducing the dynamic processes of smoke diffusion, temperature field distribution, and visibility changes. This method utilizes fluid dynamics and thermodynamics principles to simulate the spatiotemporal evolution of a fire from ignition to spread, generating dynamic data parameter sequences such as temperature, smoke concentration, and CO concentration for corresponding virtual sensor nodes. This provides a standardized change pattern of multi-dimensional sensor data under fire scenarios for the hazard manifestation library, supporting the system's accurate identification of early fire signs.

[0034] Step S2042: For the collapse hazard source, use the finite element analysis (FEA) structural mechanics simulation tool to simulate stress concentration, crack propagation and local / overall deformation under the conditions of surrounding rock stress, support structure strength and geological disturbance, and obtain the vibration, strain and displacement dynamic data parameter sequence of the corresponding virtual sensor node.

[0035] Step S2042 utilizes finite element analysis (FEA) structural mechanics simulation tools to perform mechanical simulations of the evolution of collapse hazard sources under different surrounding rock stresses, support structure strengths, and geological disturbances, focusing on the gradual development of stress concentration, crack propagation, and local or overall deformation. Based on the principles of structural mechanics and materials mechanics, this method discretizes the tunnel structure into a finite element mesh, simulates the deformation and failure process under load, and generates dynamic data parameter sequences such as vibration, strain, and displacement for corresponding virtual sensor nodes. This constructs a multi-stage mechanical performance characteristic database of collapse events, enhancing the system's ability to predict structural hazards.

[0036] Step S2043: For flood hazard sources, use shallow water equations or multiphase fluid dynamics simulation tools to simulate water intrusion, water depth and velocity distribution under rainfall intensity, water source location and drainage system conditions, and obtain the dynamic data parameter sequence of water level, humidity and flow rate of the corresponding virtual sensor nodes.

[0037] The core principle of step S2043 is to use shallow water equations or multiphase fluid dynamics simulation tools to perform fluid dynamics simulations of the intrusion process of flood hazard sources under different rainfall intensities, water source locations, and drainage system conditions. The simulation focuses on the dynamic changes in water intrusion, water depth, and flow velocity distribution. This method utilizes hydrodynamic principles, considering the effects of gravity, friction, and topography, to simulate the entire process of flooding from its inlet to its spread. It generates dynamic data parameter sequences such as water level, humidity, and flow rate for corresponding virtual sensor nodes, thereby providing the hazard performance database with hydrological characteristic change patterns under flood scenarios and supporting the system's timely early warning of flood risks.

[0038] Step S2044: For the hazard source of toxic gas leakage, the gas diffusion model is used in combination with fluid dynamics simulation tools to simulate the diffusion path and concentration distribution under the leakage point, gas type, concentration and ventilation conditions, so as to obtain the dynamic data parameter sequence of toxic gas concentration for the corresponding virtual sensor node.

[0039] Step S2044 utilizes a gas diffusion model combined with fluid dynamics simulation tools to simulate the diffusion process of toxic gas leak hazards under different leak points, gas types, initial concentrations, and ventilation conditions, tracking the spatiotemporal evolution of diffusion paths and concentration distributions. Based on convection-diffusion equations and turbulence models, this method simulates the transport and dilution process of gas within the confined space of a tunnel, generating dynamic data parameter sequences of toxic gas concentrations for corresponding virtual sensor nodes. This provides a foundation for constructing a hazard manifestation database of concentration gradients and propagation characteristics of gas leak events, offering a basis for the system's refined identification of chemical risks.

[0040] Step S2045: For vehicle collision hazards, use microscopic traffic flow simulation tools to simulate the evolution of traffic congestion and secondary accidents under collision location, vehicle type, speed and load conditions, and obtain the vibration, pressure and traffic flow dynamic data parameter sequences of the corresponding virtual sensor nodes.

[0041] The core principle of step S2045 is to use microscopic traffic flow simulation tools to perform traffic dynamics simulations on the evolution of vehicle collision hazards under different collision locations, vehicle types, speeds, and load conditions, focusing on the formation of traffic congestion and the chain reaction of secondary accidents. This method, based on car-following models and collision dynamics principles, simulates the interaction between individual vehicle behavior and group traffic flow, generating dynamic data parameter sequences such as vibration, pressure, and traffic flow for corresponding virtual sensor nodes. This provides traffic disturbance patterns under collision events to the hazard manifestation database, supporting early intervention and warning of accident chain reactions by the system.

[0042] In some embodiments disclosed in this invention, the method for analyzing the event location performance characteristics and sensor data parameter performance of a virtual tunnel structure model includes: step S401, setting several location points within the virtual tunnel structure model, and analyzing the dynamic data parameter performance of each virtual sensor node; if the dynamic data parameter performance of a virtual sensor node falls within a first range of interest, then marking the virtual sensor node as a point of interest, and associating the marked virtual sensor node with location points within a preset distance range, and identifying the associated location points as points of interest.

[0043] Step S402: Associate the location points of interest that are close to each other to form a cluster of location points of interest, and record the changes in the cluster of location points of interest as the event location performance feature.

[0044] In some embodiments disclosed in this invention, the method for finding matching dangerous behaviors in the dangerous behavior database includes: step S403, constructing an indexing mechanism for dangerous behaviors in the dangerous behavior database, performing feature label analysis on the cluster of location points of interest and dynamic data parameter performance of real-time events, and using the indexing mechanism to compare and analyze the feature labels to determine several dangerous behaviors.

[0045] The indexing mechanism includes determining the cluster center point of the cluster of location points of concern in each hazard manifestation, judging several edge distances of the cluster edge relative to the center point, calculating the edge distance variance, identifying the cluster center point, edge distance variance, and the sensor type corresponding to the virtual sensor node as a distinguishing label group, and classifying the hazard manifestation according to the distinguishing label group.

[0047] Step S405: Based on the equivalent parameters of event location and data parameters, determine the proximity between the real-time event and the dangerous manifestation.

[0049] Step S4052: Align and compare each relative dynamic data parameter sequence of each frame between the hazard manifestation and the real-time event to obtain a dynamic data parameter difference sequence. Analyze the data parameter differences in the dynamic data parameter difference sequence that are greater than or equal to a preset value and record them as valid data parameter differences. Based on the proportion of valid data parameter differences relative to the parameter differences in the dynamic data parameter difference sequence, determine the equivalent parameters of single-frame data parameters.
