[0034] In a specific embodiment, it also comprises physical signal lines 4, which are installed on the bridge guardrails; and the tension sensors 1 are respectively connected with the server 3 through the physical signal lines 4.

[0035] In this embodiment, the two tension sensors 1 are integrated into two physical signal lines 4 and installed on the bridge through the guardrails installed at both ends of the bridge, so as to ensure that when the bridge or the road surface collapses and causes the signal line to break, the sensor can immediately perceive the sharp change of the tension.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, the vibration sensor 5 is installed on the bridge in any way, such as embedding the key positions under the bridge structure such as the pier and the bridge deck or fixedly installing on the bridge guardrail, to monitor the natural vibration frequency changes or abnormal vibration of the bridge, which may be a precursor of damage to the bridge structure. The displacement sensor 6 is installed on the bridge in any way, such as at both sides of the bridge or at the specified position of the bridge road surface, to detect the potential collapse risk by periodically measuring the distance changes between the fixed reference point.

[0039] In this embodiment, the vibration sensor 5 is installed on the bridge by being fixedly installed on the bridge guardrail, and the displacement sensor 6 is installed on the bridge at the specified position of the bridge road surface.

[0040] In one specific embodiment, the vibration sensor 5 and the displacement sensor 6 are connected to the server 3 by any of wired or wireless means.

All devices should have the characteristics of waterproof, dustproof, and sunproof to adapt to the complex and changeable natural environment of the highway bridge. Combined with big data analysis and machine learning algorithms, the collected data is deeply mined to automatically identify and warn potential bridge and road collapse risks. According to the degree of abnormality of the monitored data, multiple warning thresholds are set to ensure that the alarm device is started in sufficient time before the disaster occurs, providing sufficient risk avoidance time for drivers and passengers.

[0048] Embodiment 3

[0049] More specifically, as shown in Figure 3 The central processing module further comprises a master control device and a coordinator; the sensor module and the camera module are connected to the master control device; the master control device, the coordinator, and the server 3 are connected in sequence.

[0050] The central processing module further comprises a local large model module; the local large model module is connected with the master control device.

[0051] In this embodiment, after the sensor module and the camera module collect the original data, the master control device performs filtering, denoising and other preprocessing operations on the collected original data to improve the quality of the data. The local large model module uses multi-dimensional signal fusion technology to comprehensively analyze the data of different sensors, extracts feature information related to disasters, and matches with the preset disaster model to identify potential disaster signs. After local recognition, connect the cloud large model through the server 3 to further verify the potential disaster identification. For example, the microseismic wave signal monitored by the vibration sensor can judge the possibility of earthquake occurrence; the air pressure change monitored by the air pressure sensor can predict the arrival of storm surge or typhoon. By identifying the color, shape and dynamic change of the flame in the image, the occurrence of fire can be judged; by identifying the flow velocity, turbidity and coverage of the water flow in the image, the scale and influence range of the flood can be judged.

[0052] In this embodiment, the method of identifying natural disasters through signals and images combines a variety of advanced sensing technologies and image processing algorithms, and can monitor and evaluate the occurrence of natural disasters in real time. The sensor network collects a large amount of signal data in the environment, such as temperature, humidity, vibration and air pressure, etc., and high-definition cameras are deployed to capture dynamic changes in the area. Through the analysis of these signal data, potential disaster signs can be identified in a timely manner, such as microseismic waves before an earthquake, water level changes in floods, or smoke diffusion in fires, etc. Image processing technology can analyze the pictures captured by the camera and identify the characteristics of natural disasters such as fire, mudslide, water accumulation, etc. When abnormal conditions are detected, the bridge global monitoring and early warning system can quickly send warning information to relevant departments and the public through vehicle terminals and mobile phone terminals, helping people to make emergency preparations and minimize the loss caused by disasters. This signal and image fusion-based sensing technology provides more accurate and timely support for disaster prevention and response.

[0053] Classification and grading of natural disasters is a key step in improving the effectiveness of disaster management and emergency response. First, according to the nature of the disaster, it is divided into several categories, such as earthquake, flood, typhoon, fire, mudslide, etc., in order to facilitate targeted analysis and response. Then, within each category of disaster, according to its intensity and influence range, it is classified, for example, earthquake can be divided into mild, moderate and strong disasters, flood can be divided into small, medium and large floods according to the water level and flow rate. Fault classification focuses on identifying specific problems and potential risks caused by disasters, such as infrastructure damage, traffic disruption, power interruption, etc., which helps to develop appropriate emergency response plans and resource allocation strategies. Through systematic classification and fault classification, management departments can more effectively integrate information resources, achieve accurate early warning and scientific decision-making, and improve the overall ability and efficiency of responding to natural disasters.

[0054] Traditional image processing techniques mainly rely on manually designed feature extraction algorithms, while modern techniques increasingly use deep learning algorithms. Deep learning algorithms can automatically learn and extract features from large amounts of image data without human intervention. In this application, deep learning algorithms can identify more complex and subtle disaster features, such as weak seismic wave signals and hidden fire smoke, improving the accuracy and efficiency of disaster identification.

[0055] The multi-source image fusion technology in this application fuses image data from different cameras, different angles or different time points to obtain more comprehensive and accurate disaster information. This method can make up for the limitations of single camera vision, improving the breadth and depth of monitoring.

[0056] Through the application of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology, this application realizes real-time warning of vehicles, significantly improving driving safety. In this system, vehicles, road infrastructure and other traffic participants are connected through a wireless communication network, enabling rapid sharing of important traffic information and environmental data. When the system detects potential hazards such as traffic congestion, accidents or adverse weather conditions, V2X technology will immediately push warning information to nearby vehicle terminals, prompting drivers to take appropriate safety measures. In addition, through intelligent analysis of the cloud platform, the system can integrate data from multiple vehicles and infrastructure, enabling large-scale risk monitoring and early warning. This collaborative governance approach not only reduces the probability of accidents, but also provides drivers with a safer and more efficient driving experience, helping to promote overall traffic safety management on expressway bridges.

[0057] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present application are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present application, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
