Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent monitoring technology for road engineering, specifically to an intelligent monitoring system and method for roadbed compaction based on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms. Background Technology
[0002] Subgrade compaction is a core indicator of road engineering quality, directly affecting the road's load-bearing capacity, stability, and service life. Traditional methods for monitoring subgrade compaction mainly include the sand cone method, ring cutter method, and nuclear analyzer method, but they have several significant drawbacks: Extremely low efficiency: The single-point sampling monitoring mode takes 30 to 60 minutes to monitor each point, and large-area roadbed monitoring takes a long time (e.g., 10km of roadbed takes several days), which is difficult to meet the construction progress requirements. Highly destructive: Sand cone method and ring cutter method require excavation of roadbed soil samples, which damages the already compacted roadbed structure and can easily lead to later settlement; Incomplete coverage: Sampling monitoring can only cover 1% to 5% of the total roadbed area, which may easily miss weak areas and lead to potential roadbed quality problems; Data lag: Monitoring data needs to be manually compiled and analyzed, and cannot be fed back to the construction party in real time, making it difficult to dynamically adjust compaction parameters; Poor environmental adaptability: The nuclear instrument method carries radiation risks, and the sand-filling method cannot be operated due to rainy weather or muddy environments.
[0003] Existing drone monitoring technologies mostly focus on monitoring the flatness and settlement deformation of roadbed surfaces, but fail to achieve accurate inversion of compaction degree; single drone monitoring has the problems of limited coverage and insufficient efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, developing a collaborative monitoring system and method based on UAV swarms to achieve efficient, non-contact, full-coverage, and high-precision monitoring of roadbed compaction has become an urgent need in the field of intelligent construction of road engineering. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an intelligent monitoring system and method for roadbed compaction based on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms. Addressing the pain points of traditional roadbed compaction monitoring methods (sand cone method, nuclear analyzer method) such as low efficiency, high destructiveness, incomplete coverage, and data lag, this invention innovatively constructs an integrated technical system of "UAV swarm collaborative perception - multi-source data fusion - AI compaction inversion - real-time closed-loop feedback." This solves the problems of existing UAV monitoring technologies, which often focus on monitoring roadbed surface smoothness and settlement deformation, failing to achieve accurate compaction inversion, and the limited coverage and insufficient efficiency of single-UAV monitoring.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A roadbed compaction intelligent monitoring system based on UAV swarms includes a UAV swarm, a multi-source sensing module, a collaborative control module, a data transmission module, a ground control center, and an on-site calibration module; The drone swarm consists of one master drone and 3 to 8 slave drones. The master drone is equipped with a collaborative control unit, a global positioning module, and a wireless communication module, while the slave drones are equipped with a multi-source sensing module and a local storage unit. The master drone is responsible for path planning, operation coordination, and data aggregation, while the slave drones synchronously collect multi-source data according to the partitioned path. The master and slave drones achieve low-latency communication through 5G + BeiDou. The multi-source sensing module synchronously collects multi-source roadbed data from the UAV along the path, including GNSS positioning data, GPR electromagnetic wave data, infrared thermal imaging data, and IMU attitude data. The collaborative control module, including a path planning algorithm unit, a work coordination unit, and an obstacle avoidance unit, automatically divides the roadbed design drawings into sections ranging from 0.05 to 0.2 km. 2 The monitoring zones are ordered in the order of "critical road sections (such as bridge and culvert connection sections) first, followed by ordinary road sections". The drones operate in parallel paths, and the obstacle avoidance unit avoids obstacles such as construction machinery and trees in real time through lidar. The data transmission module includes a 5G communication module, a BeiDou short message module, and a local cache unit. It prioritizes real-time data transmission via the 5G network, switches to BeiDou short message in areas without 5G signal, and stores data in the local cache unit to prevent data loss. The ground control center includes a data processing server, an AI inversion server, a visualization terminal, and a construction docking interface. It is used to receive multi-source data and complete the fusion processing, run a deep learning inversion model to output a compaction distribution map, visualize the results and push them to the construction terminal, and support data traceability and historical comparison. The on-site calibration module includes standard compacted blocks (with three levels of compaction: 95%, 97%, and 98%), a portable moisture meter, and a soil type analyzer, used before monitoring and every 2km of operation. 2 Then, calibration is performed to correct sensor errors and inversion model parameters, ensuring monitoring accuracy.
[0007] Furthermore, in the drone swarm, the master drone is equipped with a collaborative control unit and a global positioning module, while the slave drones are equipped with a multi-source perception module. The master and slave drones achieve collaborative operation through wireless communication, with a positioning accuracy of ≤5cm (RTK-GNSS), an operating altitude of 5~15m above the roadbed surface, and a flight speed of 3~8m / s.
[0008] Furthermore, the multi-source sensing module includes a ground-penetrating radar, a GNSS positioning unit, an infrared thermal imager, and an IMU inertial measurement unit; Ground-penetrating radar (GPR): Center frequency 500~1500MHz, detection depth 0.3~1.5m, capturing changes in electromagnetic wave reflection caused by differences in soil density in the shallow subgrade layer (0~1.2m); GNSS positioning unit: Supports RTK / PPP-RTK, positioning accuracy ±1cm, records the three-dimensional coordinates of each set of monitoring data to ensure data spatial registration accuracy; Infrared thermal imager: Temperature measurement range -20~80℃, accuracy ±0.5℃, captures the temperature gradient generated by soil friction during compaction. The higher the degree of compaction, the more uniform the temperature gradient. IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit): Sampling frequency 100~200Hz, measures UAV attitude, such as pitch angle, roll angle, and yaw angle, and calibrates sensor data for errors caused by flight attitude fluctuations.
[0009] Furthermore, this intelligent monitoring method for roadbed compaction based on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms includes the following steps: Step 1: Monitoring Pretreatment The ground control center imports the roadbed construction design drawings, divides the monitoring zones, configures the drone swarm, and completes sensor calibration through the on-site calibration module; Step 2: Collaborative Monitoring by Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Swarm The main UAV plans the operation path for each zone, and the secondary UAVs synchronously collect multi-source data of the roadbed according to the path. The main UAV coordinates the operation progress in real time and avoids monitoring blind spots. Step 3: Multi-source data fusion The data transmission module transmits data to the ground control center in real time, and after spatiotemporal alignment, noise removal, and data registration, a standardized dataset is obtained. Step 4: Compaction Degree AI Inversion The standardized dataset and auxiliary parameters such as soil type, moisture content, and number of compaction passes are input into the deep learning inversion model to output a three-dimensional compaction distribution map of the subgrade. Step 5: Results Feedback and Optimization The ground control center visualizes the compaction results, identifies weak areas, and pushes them to the construction terminal in real time to guide the adjustment of compaction parameters. If the monitoring error exceeds the threshold, a second round of monitoring by a drone swarm will be initiated to form a closed-loop optimization.
[0010] Furthermore, the collaborative monitoring strategy in step two is as follows: the master UAV plans its path according to "grid partitioning + priority sorting," while the slave UAVs adopt a "parallel operation + edge supplementary monitoring" mode. The monitoring overlap rate of adjacent UAVs is ≥10%, ensuring no monitoring blind spots, and a single slave UAV can monitor an area of ≥5km² per day. 2 .
[0011] Furthermore, the data fusion in step three includes: Spatiotemporal alignment, based on GNSS timestamps and IMU attitude data calibration; Noise removal is achieved using a wavelet transform + Kalman filter algorithm. Data registration associates GPR data with infrared data using GNSS coordinates; The standardized dataset format is ASCII, and the data resolution is ≤0.1m×0.1m.
[0012] Furthermore, the deep learning inversion model is a CNN-LSTM hybrid model. The input features include GPR reflected wave amplitude, phase difference, infrared temperature gradient, and roadbed surface smoothness. Combined with auxiliary parameters such as soil type, moisture content, and number of compaction passes, the model training set contains ≥1000 sets of measured roadbed compaction data, and the prediction error is ≤3%.
[0013] Furthermore, the on-site calibration module includes a standard compacted block, a moisture content meter, and a soil type analyzer, with a calibration frequency of every 2 km monitored. 2 Alternatively, the operation can be performed when the ambient temperature changes by ≥5℃ to ensure sensor accuracy and the reliability of the inversion model.
[0014] Furthermore, the ground control center supports three-dimensional visualization of compaction degree, automatic marking of weak areas, and historical data comparison and analysis functions. The data storage capacity is ≥10TB, and it supports docking with the roadbed construction management platform to realize full-process data traceability from monitoring to construction to acceptance.
[0015] Furthermore, the monitoring method is applicable to the monitoring of roadbed construction for highways, railways, municipal roads, airport runways, etc., and is compatible with different roadbed fillers such as silty soil, clayey soil, sandy soil, and soil-rock mixture. It can operate normally in environments with temperatures ranging from -10 to 45℃ and wind speeds ≤ 6.

Compared with a single sensor, the inversion accuracy is improved by 40%. The monitoring data is transmitted to the ground control center in real time, and weak areas are automatically marked and pushed to the construction terminal to guide the compaction machinery to adjust the tonnage and number of passes, realizing dynamic optimization of "monitoring-adjustment-re-monitoring".
