Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of project management technology for long-distance linear railway surveying projects, and in particular to a method for information-based management and control of field surveying. Background Technology
[0002] The railway engineering survey industry has traditional limitations. In traditional project management, there are many problems such as difficulty in supervising the on-site survey process, inefficiency of paper-based office mode, untimely business processing, difficulty in ensuring the authenticity of information, and unclear division of responsibilities. These problems can easily lead to information loss and a lot of repetitive work, which not only interferes with construction and operation management, but also increases costs.
[0003] Currently, in the management of long-distance linear railway survey projects, due to the unique nature of these projects, the amount of data is enormous. This is especially true for borehole exploration, which requires numerous boreholes to be laid out along the railway line at specific intervals according to relevant specifications to accurately determine the geological distribution along the railway, thereby ensuring the safety of long-distance linear railway construction. However, the sheer number of borehole exploration operations also generates massive amounts of data. Besides the aforementioned problems, this can easily lead to incomplete data or mismatches between the data and the actual borehole locations, resulting in inaccurate data. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a method for information-based management and control of field exploration. Through the design of a cloud exploration platform and mobile APP, especially for data processing in borehole exploration operations, this method solves many problems such as difficulty in supervising the field exploration process, low efficiency of paper-based office mode, untimely business processing, difficulty in ensuring the authenticity of information, unclear division of responsibilities, and inaccurate data processing.
[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: A method for information-based management and control of field surveying, characterized by the following steps: A cloud-based exploration platform is established, which is configured with different project roles according to the user's identity. The project role refers to the work responsibilities undertaken by different users in the field exploration. The cloud-based exploration platform is configured with corresponding project management permissions for different project roles. A mobile APP is established that is compatible with the cloud exploration platform and constitutes wireless data interaction. The mobile APP has a login terminal. Different project roles verify their identity information through the login terminal and log in to the mobile APP. The mobile APP obtains its different project management permissions from the cloud exploration platform. Different project roles can edit on the mobile APP according to their own needs in the field survey. The edited content can be uploaded to the cloud survey platform or sent to other project roles for further review or approval through the interaction between the mobile APPs. The cloud exploration platform receives content in real time and generates a record. The record contains information on the roles of each project, approval flow information, time and location information, as well as corresponding image data and exploration data. The location information and the image data both include the borehole number of the borehole exploration and its location information in the long linear railway. Based on the records, the cloud exploration platform sends operation prompts for the next or next batch of borehole exploration sites to different project roles via the mobile APP, and performs reverse verification using the image data included in the subsequent records. When the verification is successful, the cloud exploration platform continues to send operation prompts via the mobile APP; when the verification fails, the cloud exploration platform sends an alarm to the corresponding project role via the mobile APP.
[0006] The project roles can directly export and print standard format documents from the cloud exploration platform for archiving.
[0007] The user identities include project management reviewers and project subcontractors.
[0008] The project management reviewer authorizes at least one user as a subcontractor for the project.
[0009] The project management reviewer is used to establish project topics for the project subcontractors to improve the project content. The project management reviewer also reviews the project content improved by the project subcontractors.
[0010] After each user completes their editing, they upload the updated project content to the Cloud Exploration Platform, where it can be viewed and archived by other authorized users.
[0011] When a user uses the mobile app without a network connection, the mobile app adopts an offline operation mode, backing up the updated project data to the local mobile app. At the same time, the mobile app also binds the time and location information to the data so that the user can upload it to the cloud exploration platform when there is a network connection.
[0012] The drilling exploration operation includes hole opening application, final hole acceptance, on-site supervision, construction coordination, and rectification notice.
[0013] A spatial database for borehole exploration operations based on GIS is established in the cloud exploration platform. When a borehole application is submitted in the mobile APP, the spatial database is called to mark the borehole location for verification.
[0014] In the cloud exploration platform, a spatial database of borehole exploration operations based on GIS is combined with the exploration data to form a borehole exploration data model distributed along a long linear railway. The subsequent construction process is then analyzed or optimized based on this borehole exploration data model.
[0015] The advantages of this invention are: by verifying user role information and granting each user different operational permissions for project content based on that information, the security of project data is improved; users can edit content within the system according to their own business needs, and then send the content to other users for review or approval, thus promptly advancing project progress. Data can be filtered on the cloud platform based on user role, time, location, and edited content, enabling collaborative maintenance of project content. After other users review or approve the content, the system automatically generates a record containing user information, approval flow information, time and location information, and relevant image data, facilitating management oversight and root cause analysis. Finally, users can directly export and print standard-format documents from the system for archiving, effectively solving many problems associated with on-site paper-based office work, such as low efficiency, untimely business processing, difficulty in ensuring information authenticity, and unclear division of responsibilities.

[0017] The features and other related features of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so as to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art: Example: Figure 1 As shown in the diagram, the control flowchart for the application for field drilling in this embodiment is as follows: Step 1: Establish a spatial database for borehole exploration operations based on GIS.
[0018] Step 2: The user acting as the logger edits the borehole application information. This application information is then marked against the borehole location information in the spatial database for verification. Once completed, it is submitted to the user acting as the drilling supervisor.
[0019] Step 3: After receiving the application submitted by the user with the role of logger in Step 2, the user with the role of drilling manager will either agree to the application and then submit it to the user with the role of geological engineer; or disagree with the application and then return it to the user with the role of logger for resubmission.
[0020] Step 4: After receiving the application from the user in Step 3 who is the drilling manager, the user with the role of geological engineer will approve the application if they agree. Drilling exploration will then commence, and relevant drilling data will be obtained. This project data will be uploaded to the cloud exploration platform for other users to view or archive.
[0021] If the user disagrees, the process will be returned to the user whose role is editor, and steps 1, 2, and 3 above will be repeated.
[0022] like Figure 2 As shown in the diagram, the control flowchart for the final acceptance of the field survey in this embodiment is as follows: Step 1: The user with the role of logger edits the final hole acceptance information and then submits it to the user with the role of drilling manager.
[0023] Step 2: After receiving the application submitted by the user in Step 1 who is in the role of the logging officer, the user in the role of the drilling manager will, if they agree, submit the application to the user in the role of the geological engineer. If they disagree, the application will be returned to the user in the role of the logging officer for resubmission.
[0024] Step 3: After receiving the application from the user in Step 2 whose role is Drilling Manager, if the borehole exploration is qualified, the application is approved and the project data is uploaded to the cloud exploration platform for other users to view or archive; if the borehole exploration is unqualified, the borehole is abandoned and reported.
[0025] like Figure 3 As shown in the diagram, the control flowchart for field inspection and rectification in this embodiment includes the following steps: Step 1: Users playing the role of geological engineers inspect the work site and record information on personnel, equipment, environment, safety, and quality on the mobile app. Step 2: If a user with the role of a geological engineer finds no issues requiring rectification during the on-site inspection, they upload the inspection record to the cloud exploration platform. This record includes information on each project's role, approval workflow, time, location information, and corresponding image data and exploration data. The location information and image data include the borehole location number and its position within the long-distance linear railway. If issues requiring rectification are found, the identified issues are submitted to the user with the role of a project manager. If the project manager receives the rectification notice and agrees, a rectification notice is issued to the user with the role of a drilling manager. If the project manager disagrees, the rectification notice is voided.
[0026] Based on the records, the cloud exploration platform sends operation prompts for the next or next batch of borehole exploration sites to different project roles via a mobile app. It also performs reverse verification using the image data included in the subsequent records. When the verification is successful, the cloud exploration platform continues to send operation prompts via the mobile app. When the verification fails, the cloud exploration platform sends an alarm to the corresponding project role (such as the project leader) via the mobile app.
[0027] Step 3: After receiving the rectification notice issued by the user who is the project manager in Step 2, the user who is in charge of drilling fills in the handling opinions and uploads them to the cloud exploration platform.
[0028] like Figure 4 As shown in the flowchart, the storage, location, and data transmission process in this embodiment is as follows: Step 1: When recording data, the field APP divides the recording into offline recording and online recording.
[0029] Step 2: Both the offline and online states in Step 1 require obtaining GPS positioning and timing information.
[0030] Step 3: The data from both offline and online states in Step 1 need to be transmitted to the enterprise cloud exploration platform via the Internet.
[0031] Step 4: Both intranet users and public network users can access the enterprise cloud platform via the internet as described in Step 3.
[0032] In this specific implementation, the spatial database of borehole exploration operations based on GIS and the exploration data are combined in the cloud exploration platform to form a borehole exploration data model distributed along the long linear railway. The subsequent construction process is then analyzed or optimized based on this borehole exploration data model.
[0033] Although the above embodiments have described the concept and embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art will recognize that various improvements and modifications can still be made to the present invention without departing from the scope of the claims, and therefore will not be elaborated here.
