Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of engineering technology, and in particular to a tunnel monitoring and evaluation method based on multi-dimensional IoT sensing data. Background Technology
[0002] Many urban tunnels and rail transit infrastructures under construction or in operation in my country are prone to structural deformation due to prolonged periods of traffic or gravity loads. Furthermore, with the development of new technologies and the need to address the safety of urban lifeline infrastructure, many tunnel structures have already been equipped with or are planned to be equipped with corresponding automated monitoring IoT sensing devices. Currently, the utilization of data from tunnel IoT sensing devices is relatively limited, often analyzing single-dimensional data such as settlement and stress, and it is difficult to directly assess the safety status of the tunnel structure based on sensing data. Judging the tunnel structure condition solely based on single monitoring data and set thresholds is biased, easily leading to false alarms or delayed alarms, which will significantly impact the operational safety management of tunnels. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the shortcomings of the above technologies, this invention provides a tunnel monitoring and evaluation method based on multi-dimensional IoT sensing data. By combining monitoring data from various IoT sensing devices with the tunnel's own structural attribute data, accurate early warnings of tunnel safety status can be achieved, providing technical support for improving the intelligence level of tunnels during operation.
[0004] To achieve the above technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows:

[0008] S3. Demodulate the acquisition signal obtained by the IoT sensing device to obtain the following values of the tunnel monitoring objects: arch settlement, uneven settlement, cross-sectional convergence, sidewall tilt, structural strain, structural acceleration, crack width, expansion joint width, as well as temperature, humidity, water level and concentration of harmful gases in the tunnel.
[0009] S4. Set the initial threshold for each monitoring object based on the tunnel structure's own attribute data;

[0043] S7. Determine the tunnel safety status classification based on the comprehensive early warning level and the tunnel structure's own attribute data. Divide the tunnels into four importance levels based on the tunnel structure's own attribute data: long tunnels, extra-long tunnels, or important traffic tunnels in urban areas are of level one importance; highway or urban arterial road tunnels are of level two importance; tunnels located in strata with poor geological conditions are of level three importance; and other tunnels are of level four importance.
[0044] The safety status classification of tunnels is shown in the table below:
[0045]
[0046] When the tunnel safety status is classified as Level A, the tunnel must be closed immediately, and experts must be organized to conduct on-site investigations and take appropriate measures. When the tunnel safety status is classified as Level B, the tunnel condition must be closely monitored, and reports must be made to management personnel, along with proposed solutions. When the tunnel safety status is classified as Level C, the tunnel condition must be monitored periodically, and corresponding prediction methods must be used to forecast future trends. When the tunnel safety status is classified as Level D, no special attention is required, and normal maintenance is sufficient.
[0047] This invention monitors multi-dimensional IoT sensing data of tunnels using IoT sensing devices, then fuses the data to form four specialized early warning levels: dangerous vehicle identification, flood warning, structural safety warning, and air quality warning. A comprehensive early warning level is then established, and finally, the tunnel's safety status is determined by combining the tunnel's structural attribute data. Suggestions for handling measures are provided, offering a basis for tunnel management, maintenance, and accident tracing. This improves the accuracy of tunnel safety status early warnings and provides technical support for enhancing the intelligence level of tunnels during operation.
