Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a technique for determining the properties of the target ground for boring. More specifically, the present invention relates to a ground property determination system that can determine the properties of the target ground in real time during construction using a pre-generated learned model.
Background Art
[0002] Boring is a construction method for forming a relatively small-diameter and relatively long cylindrical underground hole. Usually, it is carried out by drilling using a rod and a bit attached to the tip thereof. This boring may be carried out for the purpose of ground investigation such as core sampling and standard penetration test, or may be carried out as so-called permanent works. For example, in tunnel excavation by blasting, boring is carried out by a drill jumbo to load gunpowder (dynamite), and in tunnel construction by NATM (New Austrian Tunnelling Method), boring is also carried out by a drill jumbo to insert rock bolts. In addition, when performing mechanical stirring, high-pressure jetting, etc. for the purpose of ground improvement by deep mixing, boring is carried out vertically downward with respect to the ground.
[0003] In recent years, heavy rains associated with extreme weather events have caused deep-seated landslides and large-scale mudslides on slopes and embankments, making stabilization measures for slopes and other areas more important than ever. Anchor systems have become indispensable as a countermeasure against deep-seated landslides and mudslides on slopes and other areas. Because this anchor system involves installing one fixed end of a tendon into the ground, it was formerly called an "earth anchor" and is now known as a "ground anchor." Ground anchors were first introduced in Japan in 1957 as a stabilization measure for dams and have been in use for nearly 60 years. Due to their economical nature and ease of construction, and coupled with the acceleration of infrastructure development accompanying high economic growth, they have been widely used, with an estimated 24,000 installations. Ground anchors are also drilled using boring machines such as rotary percussion drills.
[0004] When conducting permanent boring work (hereinafter referred to as "boring work"), a ground survey is generally conducted beforehand, and drilling is carried out according to the survey results. For example, in boring work to install ground anchors, a ground survey is conducted to determine the location of the anchoring layer and the physical properties of that anchoring layer (such as surface friction resistance). Drilling is then carried out according to the design plan based on the results of the ground survey, but naturally, it is not possible to visually inspect the conditions inside the ground during drilling, and it is extremely difficult to accurately determine whether there will be any problems even if the work is carried out according to the design plan.
[0005] On the other hand, it is known that it is extremely beneficial to grasp the properties of the ground in real time while boring work is being carried out. For example, if the location and physical properties of the anchorage layer can be grasped in real time while drilling for ground anchors, it may be found that a shorter drilling length (free length or anchorage length) than planned is sufficient, or conversely, that a longer drilling length than planned is necessary for it to function, resulting in the installation of ground anchors efficiently and effectively.
[0006] Therefore, various efforts have been made to grasp the properties of the ground in real time during boring work. Representative methods include the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1, which estimates the hardness or softness of the ground from electrical signals (torque, thrust, impact pressure, etc.) of construction machinery, and the technology that determines the geological classification and soil classification by having specialists visually inspect the appearance of the slime brought to the surface during drilling or by conducting chemical tests using chemicals, etc. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]
[0007] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2021-127655 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0008] However, conventional methods for understanding the properties of the ground in real time all had their problems. For example, a method that estimates the hardness or softness of the ground from the electrical signals of construction machinery (hereinafter referred to as the "machine information estimation method") can determine the hardness or softness of the ground and the presence or absence of voids, but it is unsuitable for determining geological classifications or soil classifications. On the other hand, a method that judges the appearance of slime (hereinafter referred to as the "slime appearance judgment method") can determine geological classifications or soil classifications, but it is difficult to determine the hardness or softness of the ground and the presence or absence of voids.
[0009] Furthermore, in machine information estimation methods, information may be acquired from various measuring instruments and devices attached to construction machinery. However, each piece of information is independent, differing in format and dimensions (1- to 3-dimensional). Even if it is uploaded and aggregated in a single central device, it is not easy to make a comprehensive judgment based on this information. In other words, judging the properties from such disparate, unorganized information relied on human knowledge, experience, and technical skills. As a result, the results varied depending on the ability of the person making the judgment, making it impossible to obtain a stable determination. Moreover, because the judgment was made by humans through careful consideration, it was not possible to determine the ground properties (geological classification, soil classification, etc.) in real time, and it was sometimes impossible to feed the acquired information back into construction in a timely manner.
[0010] As mentioned above, the slime appearance determination method involves a skilled technician visually inspecting the slime's appearance to determine the geological and soil classifications. Therefore, when conducting boring work, it is necessary to secure and station a specialized technician, and the cost of their personnel must be included in the budget. In particular, when multiple construction teams are deployed to perform drilling, multiple specialized technicians will need to be stationed there, which is costly, and it can be difficult to secure the necessary number in the first place. Furthermore, it is difficult to quickly consolidate the determination results from multiple specialized technicians, and as a result, it is not possible to determine the ground properties in real time, and the obtained information cannot be fed back into construction in a timely manner. In addition, it is unavoidable that the determination results will differ depending on the skill of the specialized technician, and it is not possible to obtain a stable determination.
[0011] The objective of the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art, namely, to provide a ground condition determination system that can grasp the ground conditions during drilling in real time without relying on human judgment. [Means for solving the problem]
[0012] The ground condition determination system of the present invention focuses on the fact that it generates a trained model by learning construction data with type labels attached, and determines the geological classification and soil classification in real time by inputting construction data into the trained model during construction. This invention is based on an unprecedented idea.
[0013] The ground property determination system of the present invention is a system for determining the properties of the target ground to be drilled or excavated, and comprises a trained model generation means and a ground property determination means. The trained model generation means is a means for generating a trained model by machine learning on training data to which geological classification labels and soil classification labels are attached, and the ground property determination means is a means for determining the geological classification and soil classification of the target ground by inputting construction data acquired during drilling (or excavation) into the trained model. The training data is generated by attaching geological classification labels and soil classification labels to one or more data selected from among construction machine data related to construction obtained from a drilling machine (or excavation machine), camera image data obtained by photographing ground slime obtained by drilling (or excavation), spectral image data obtained by acquiring ground slime with a spectral camera, and borehole image data obtained by photographing with a borehole camera after drilling (or excavation). Furthermore, the construction data input to the trained model consists of one or more data selected from construction machine data, camera image data, spectral image data, and borehole image data, and is of the same type as the training data used in machine learning.
[0014] The ground property determination system of the present invention may also generate a trained model by machine learning training on training data that has hardness / softness labels for the ground. In this case, when construction data is input to the trained model, the ground property determination means also determines the hardness / softness of the target ground.
[0015] The ground condition determination system of the present invention may also generate a trained model by machine learning training on training data that has labels indicating voids in the ground. In this case, when construction data is input to the trained model, the ground condition determination means also determines the condition of voids in the target ground.
[0016] The ground condition determination system of the present invention may further include one or more terminal devices and a central device capable of communicating with these terminal devices. In this case, construction data entered using the terminal devices is transmitted to the central device. The central device receives the construction data and inputs it into the ground condition determination means to determine the geological classification and soil classification of the target ground. The terminal devices can also output the results determined by the ground condition determination means in real time.
[0017] The ground condition determination system of the present invention can also be configured to display in three dimensions (or two dimensions) by superimposing the actual drilling (or excavation) results as construction progresses with the planned drilling (or excavation) shape. [Effects of the Invention]
[0018] The ground condition determination system of the present invention has the following effects: (1) It is possible to determine information about the ground that is invisible (geological classification, soil classification, hardness of the ground, presence or absence of voids) in real time, and as a result, necessary information can be quickly fed back to the construction team, enabling more appropriate boring work to be carried out. (2) Because it does not rely on human knowledge, human error and erroneous judgments can be eliminated, and stable and consistent judgment results can be obtained. (3) Even when drilling is carried out by deploying multiple construction teams, the construction data from each team can be collected in a central device, allowing various stakeholders to review and share it. This enables appropriate advice from all parties involved, such as predictions regarding uncertainties in the construction environment and appropriate construction management. (4) By superimposing and three-dimensionally (or two-dimensionally) displaying the actual drilled (or excavated) shape associated with the progress of construction, the planned drilled shape (or excavated shape), and the determined ground information (geological classification, soil classification, hardness or softness of the ground, presence or absence of cavities), the characteristics of the ground can be grasped more clearly. For example, it is also possible to confirm the planned fixing layer or support layer. (5) By using the information obtained during construction as new training data and continuously performing deep learning, a trained model with further improved estimation accuracy can be obtained.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention
[0020] An example of the ground condition determination system of the present invention will be explained with reference to the diagram.
[0021] 1.Overview The present invention is a technology that can determine the properties of the target ground in real time while boring work or ground excavation is being carried out. More specifically, as shown in Figure 1, the ground properties are determined based on data obtained during construction (hereinafter referred to as "construction data"). The present invention can also determine the ground properties at each drilling depth during boring work, or at each excavation depth during ground excavation work, but for convenience, the example of boring work will be explained here.
[0022] Construction data can include, for example, "construction machine data," "slime photographs," "spectral data," and "borehole photographs," as shown in Figure 1. Of these, construction machine data is various information obtained from drilling machines (such as boring machines and drill jumbos) used in boring work, as will be described later. Slime photographs are image data obtained by photographing the slime brought to the surface during drilling with a digital camera, and spectral data is data obtained by photographing the slime with a hyperspectral camera or multispectral camera. However, it is desirable to obtain slime photographs and spectral data after photographing them together with a color sample. Borehole photographs are image data obtained by photographing the inner wall of the borehole with a borehole camera. Construction data is acquired periodically (or intermittently) during construction. For example, construction machine data is acquired every 15 cm of drilling, slime photographs and spectral data are acquired every 1-2 m of drilling, and borehole photographs are acquired when drilling is completed.
[0023] On the other hand, ground properties can be described as follows, for example, as shown in Figure 1: "geological classification," "soil classification," "ground hardness / softness," and "void conditions." Geological classification refers to classifications such as sandstone, granite, and slate, while soil classification refers to classifications such as sandy soil, gravelly soil, and cohesive soil. Ground hardness / softness is an indicator that represents the strength of the ground, such as the so-called rock class classification, and void conditions refer to the presence or absence of voids, their size, and scale, as the name suggests.
[0024] When determining ground properties based on construction data, a "trained model" generated by machine learning is used. In other words, when construction data is input, the trained model outputs the ground properties. Various conventional machine learning techniques, including deep learning, can be used to generate the trained model.
[0025] To generate a trained model using machine learning, training data is used. This training data consists of construction data to which correct labels, i.e., known ground properties, are attached (hereinafter simply referred to as "ground property labels"). In order to obtain training data, it is necessary to conduct a trial construction (hereinafter simply referred to as "trial construction") beforehand. In other words, after conducting a trial construction, the ground properties are determined during the actual construction (hereinafter simply referred to as "main construction"). It is desirable to use the same machinery as in the main construction (especially drilling machinery) in the trial construction, and at least the same construction data as that obtained in the main construction should be obtained. Therefore, in order to distinguish between the two types of construction data, the data obtained in the trial construction will be called "trial construction data," and the data obtained in the main construction will be called "main construction data." Alternatively, main construction carried out in the past can be treated as trial construction. In short, training data is created by attaching ground property labels to construction data based on various data obtained in main construction carried out in the past, and a trained model is generated by training on this training data. Of course, training data can also be created by utilizing information obtained from test construction and past full-scale construction projects.
[0026] 2. Soil condition determination system The ground condition determination system of the present invention will be described in detail. Figure 2 is a block diagram showing the main components of the ground condition determination system 100 of the present invention. As shown in this figure, the ground condition determination system 100 of the present invention is configured to include a trained model generation means 101 and a ground condition determination means 102, and may also be configured to include a construction machine data acquisition means 103, an output control means 104, an output means 105, a trained model storage means 108, a test boring data storage means 109, a test construction data storage means 110, and a main construction data storage means 111. Furthermore, it may also be configured to include a terminal-side transmitting and receiving means 106, a central-side transmitting and receiving means 107, terminal equipment, and a central device, which will be described later.
[0027] Of the main components constituting the ground condition determination system 100, the trained model generation means 101, the ground condition determination means 102, and the output control means 104 can be manufactured as dedicated components, or a general-purpose computer device can be used. This computer device includes a processor such as a CPU, memory such as ROM or RAM, input means such as a mouse or keyboard, and a display, and can be composed of a personal computer (PC), server, tablet PC such as iPad®, or mobile terminal including a smartphone. When using a computer device equipped with a display, it is preferable to use that display as the output means 105.
[0028] The trained model storage means 108, the test boring data storage means 109, the test construction data storage means 110, and the actual construction data storage means 111 can utilize the storage devices of a general-purpose computer or be built on a database server. When built on a database server, it can be located on a local network (LAN) or on a cloud server that stores data via the internet. These storage means can be configured as separate entities or two or more storage means can be combined into one system.
[0029] While it has been explained that some elements of the ground condition determination system 100 can utilize general-purpose computer equipment, as shown in Figure 3, it can also be further composed of terminal equipment and a central device. The terminal equipment is located near the construction team that actually performs the boring work, and can utilize personal computers, tablet PCs, smartphones, etc. The central device, on the other hand, is located in a management office or supervisor's office, separate from the construction team, and can utilize servers or personal computers, etc. Furthermore, by providing terminal-side transmission / reception means 106 in the terminal equipment and central-side transmission / reception means 107 in the central device, the terminal equipment and the central device can communicate with each other, allowing various information (e.g., actual construction data) to be transmitted from the terminal equipment to the central device, and various information (e.g., determination results) to be transmitted from the central device to the terminal equipment. Although Figure 3 shows an example where terminal equipment located in two construction teams is connected to the central device, it is not limited to this, and it is also possible to operate with one terminal device, or three or more terminal devices connected to the central device.
[0030] The following will provide a detailed explanation of each of the main elements that constitute the ground condition determination system 100 of the present invention.
[0031] (Method for generating pre-trained models) The trained model generation means 101 is a means for generating a trained model. Specifically, this trained model is generated by training the model on training data (construction data with ground condition labels attached) using machine learning techniques such as deep learning. The training data can be obtained by conducting test construction as described above. Below is an example of the procedure for obtaining the training data.
[0032] First, a test borehole (hereinafter simply referred to as the "test borehole") is formed. For example, if the main construction is for the installation of ground anchors and the plan is to drill using a rotary percussion boring machine, the test borehole should be drilled using the planned (or equivalent) rotary percussion boring machine. At this time, drilling should be done while acquiring the construction data that is planned to be acquired in the main construction. For example, if the main construction is planned to acquire construction machine data, camera image data, spectral image data, and borehole image data, drilling should also be done while acquiring construction machine data, camera image data, spectral image data, and borehole image data in the test construction.
[0033] Here, construction machine data refers to various information obtained from drilling machines (such as boring machines and drill jumbos) used in boring work, as previously described, and is acquired by the construction machine data acquisition means 103 mounted (or attached) to the drilling machine. For example, as shown in Figure 4, construction machine data can include raw data such as the drilling speed, feed force, torque, water pressure, impact pressure, and water flow rate of the boring machine, as well as impact energy, number of impact blows, fracture energy value, and drilling energy value derived from this raw data. Of course, it is not limited to these, but various information related to the drilling machine, such as measured values such as the position of the bit during drilling and the insertion angle of the rod, can also be acquired as construction machine data. During test construction, the acquired construction machine data and construction data such as camera image data, spectral image data, and borehole image data (i.e., test construction data) are stored in the test construction data storage means 110 (Figure 2).
[0034] Once the test borehole is formed, the acquired borehole core is observed. Physical test data of the ground is then obtained by performing uniaxial (or triaxial) compression tests on the obtained borehole core, horizontal loading tests in the borehole, standard penetration tests during drilling, and other desired physical tests. Based on the observation results of the borehole core and the physical test data, a person (e.g., a specialist engineer) evaluates the ground properties of the test borehole. Specifically, the test borehole is divided into blocks based on depth, and the geological classification and soil classification (or one of them) are evaluated for each block. In addition to the geological and soil classifications, the hardness and softness of the ground and the presence of voids can also be evaluated. The physical test data obtained here, as well as the ground properties for each block (geological and soil classifications, etc.), are stored in the test borehole data storage means 109 (Figure 2).
[0035] Meanwhile, while drilling the test boreholes, test construction data such as construction machine data, camera image data, spectral image data, and borehole image data are obtained. In particular, multiple data sets of construction machine data, camera image data, and spectral image data are obtained for each drilling depth. Based on the depth at which this test construction data was acquired, ground properties (such as geological classification and soil classification) are associated with each test construction data set, and training data is created by assigning ground property labels such as geological classification labels, soil classification labels, hardness labels, and cavity labels to each test construction data set.
[0036] Training data should be created according to the type of ground properties that have been evaluated. For example, when a specialist evaluates geological classification and soil classification, training data should be created by adding geological classification labels and soil classification labels to the test construction data. When a specialist evaluates geological classification, soil classification, ground hardness, and void conditions, training data should be created by adding geological classification labels, soil classification labels, hardness labels, and void labels to the test construction data.
[0037] Furthermore, training data should be created according to the type of test construction data acquired. For example, in cases where only construction machine data is acquired as test construction data, training data is created by assigning ground property labels to that construction machine data. However, in cases where construction machine data, camera image data, spectral image data, and borehole image data are acquired as test construction data, training data is created by assigning ground property labels to the construction machine data, camera image data, spectral image data, and borehole image data, respectively. Alternatively, in cases where construction machine data, camera image data, and spectral image data are acquired as test construction data, training data can also be created by assigning ground property labels to a dataset consisting of construction machine data, camera image data, and spectral image data (a dataset corresponding to the drilling depth), that is, to each dataset.
[0038] As previously mentioned, training data does not necessarily have to be created after conducting a test construction (meaning not the actual construction in this case). Training data can also be created based on various information obtained from past actual constructions, or it can be created based on various information obtained from test constructions and various information obtained from past actual constructions.
[0039] The trained model generation means 101 generates a trained model by learning from a large amount of training data obtained through this procedure. The training data can be created from one test borehole, or from two or more test boreholes. The trained model generated by the trained model generation means 101 is stored in the trained model storage means 108 (Figure 2).
[0040] (Method for determining ground properties) During construction, construction data such as construction machine data, camera image data, spectral image data, and borehole image data (i.e., actual construction data) are stored in the actual construction data storage means 111 (Figure 2). The ground property determination means 102 reads the actual construction data from the actual construction data storage means 111 and outputs the ground properties (geological classification, soil classification, etc.) by inputting the actual construction data into a trained model. As described above, construction data is acquired periodically (or intermittently) during construction. Therefore, the ground property determination means 102 can also output the ground properties each time actual construction data is acquired, in other words, for each drilling depth. This makes it possible to grasp the location and physical properties of the anchoring layer in real time, for example, when drilling ground anchors, and as a result it may be found that a shorter drilling length than planned is sufficient, or conversely, that a longer drilling length than planned is necessary for it to function, thereby realizing efficient and effective construction.
[0041] (Output control means) The ground properties (such as geological classification and soil classification) determined by the ground property determination means 102 are output to the output means 105, such as a display or printer. At this time, the ground properties for each drilling depth can be output in list format or in drawing format. Furthermore, the output control means 104 can display the ground properties for each drilling depth, along with the shape of the borehole formed by the main construction (hereinafter simply referred to as "main borehole"), in two dimensions (2D) or three dimensions (3D).
[0042] In cases where measurement values such as the position of the drill bit and the insertion angle of the rod are acquired as construction machine data, the shape of the drilled hole (i.e., the actual completed shape) can be grasped according to the progress of construction. Therefore, the output control means 104 can display the borehole in 3D (or 2D) on the output means 105, as shown in Figure 5. .MaThe output control means 104 can also display the shape (drilling shape) of the planned borehole (hereinafter referred to as "planned borehole DP") and the shape of the actual completed borehole (hereinafter referred to as "completed borehole DA") in 3D (or 2D) on the output means 105, as shown in Figure 6. In Figure 6(a), only the planned borehole DP is shown with a dashed line, and in Figure 6(b), the overlapping display of the planned borehole DP and the completed borehole DA is shown.
[0043] Furthermore, in Figure 6(b), the ground properties for each drilling depth are displayed on the completed borehole DA. Different ground properties can be displayed by changing the color, shade, or pattern. Also, as shown in Figure 3, when the system is composed of terminal equipment and a central device, the construction team performing the boring work can also check the information displayed on the output means 105 of the terminal equipment in real time. For example, the terminal side transmission / reception means 106 of the terminal equipment is used to transmit the actual construction data to the central device, which is received by the central side transmission / reception means 107. The ground property determination means 102 then determines the ground properties for each drilling depth and transmits it to the terminal equipment. This allows the construction team to sequentially check the ground properties for each drilling depth along with the planned borehole DP and the completed borehole DA.
[0044] (Example of use) An example of using the ground condition determination system 100 of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 7 and 8. Figure 7 is a flowchart showing the main processing flow from conducting test construction to generating a trained model using the ground condition determination system 100. Figure 8 is a flowchart showing the main processing flow of determining the ground conditions using the ground condition determination system 100 and displaying the results during actual construction. In Figures 7 and 8, the central column shows the processing to be performed, the left column shows the information necessary for that processing, and the right column shows the information generated from that processing.
[0045] To generate a trained model, first, drilling is performed to form a test borehole, as shown in Figure 7 (Step 211 in Figure 7). At this time, it is preferable to use drilling equipment similar to that planned for the actual construction. While drilling the test borehole, a bore core is collected (Step 212 in Figure 7), construction data (test construction data) similar to that planned for the actual construction is obtained (Step 213 in Figure 7), and a standard penetration test is performed as necessary.
[0046] Once the test borehole is formed, physical test data of the ground is obtained by conducting physical tests such as in-saw horizontal loading tests and boring core compression tests (Step 214 in Figure 7), and the obtained boring core is observed. Then, for example, a specialist engineer evaluates the ground properties for each depth block of the test borehole based on the physical test data and the observation results of the boring core. Here, the ground properties can be evaluated by geological classification and soil classification (or one of them), or in addition to geological classification and soil classification, the hardness and softness of the ground and the presence of voids can also be evaluated (Step 215 in Figure 7).
[0047] When the ground properties are evaluated, the ground properties are associated with each test construction data based on the acquisition depth, and training data is created by assigning a ground property label to each test construction data (Step 216 in Figure 7). At this time, it is advisable to create training data according to the type of ground properties evaluated. For example, when a specialist evaluates the geological classification and soil classification, training data is created by assigning geological classification labels and soil classification labels to the test construction data. When a specialist evaluates the geological classification, soil classification, ground hardness, and void conditions, training data is created by assigning geological classification labels, soil classification labels, hardness labels, and void labels to the test construction data.
[0048] Furthermore, training data should be created according to the type of test construction data acquired. For example, in cases where only construction machinery data is acquired as test construction data, training data should be created by assigning ground property labels to that construction machinery data. In cases where construction machinery data, camera image data, spectral image data, and borehole image data are acquired as test construction data, training data should be created by assigning ground property labels to each of the construction machinery data, camera image data, spectral image data, and borehole image data. Alternatively, in cases where construction machinery data, camera image data, and spectral image data are acquired as test construction data, training data can also be created by assigning ground property labels to each dataset consisting of construction machinery data, camera image data, and spectral image data.
[0049] Once training data is created, the trained model generation means 101 generates a trained model by training on this training data using machine learning techniques such as deep learning (Step 217 in Figure 7).
[0050] After conducting a test construction to generate a trained model, the main construction will be carried out. For the main construction, as shown in Figure 3, it is advisable to place the central device in the management area and terminal equipment near the construction area. Once the central device and terminal equipment are in place and other necessary temporary construction and preparatory work is completed, drilling to form the main borehole will be carried out as shown in Figure 8 (Step 221 in Figure 8). At this time, it is advisable to use the same drilling machine as that used in the test construction.
[0051] During drilling of the main borehole, construction data (main construction data) similar to that obtained in the test construction, i.e., construction data of the same type as the training data, is acquired. For example, in Figure 8, construction machine data is acquired by the construction machine data acquisition means 103 as drilling progresses (Step 222 in Figure 8), and camera image data and spectral image data are acquired each time slime is obtained (Step 223 in Figure 8). In this example, in addition to this main construction data, measured values such as the position of the drill bit and the insertion angle of the rod are acquired as drilling progresses, meaning that the actual completed shape (drilled hole shape) of the main borehole is understood according to the progress of drilling (Step 224 in Figure 8).
[0052] When the actual construction data is acquired, it is input to the ground condition determination means 102, and the ground condition determination means 102 outputs the ground conditions related to the actual construction data (Step 225 in Figure 8). At this time, since construction data of the same type as the training data has been acquired, construction data of the same type as the training data is input to the ground condition determination means 102. For example, in the case where training data with ground condition labels attached to construction machine data, camera image data, and spectral image data has been machine-learned, the construction machine data, camera image data, and spectral image data are input to the ground condition determination means 102.
[0053] Furthermore, the ground property determination means 102 naturally outputs the same type of ground property as the training data used to generate the trained model. For example, in the case where training data with geological classification labels and soil classification labels has been machine-learned, the ground property determination means 102 outputs the geological classification and soil classification as ground properties. In the case where training data with geological classification labels, soil classification labels, hardness / softness labels, and cavity labels has been machine-learned, the ground property determination means 102 outputs the geological classification, soil classification, ground hardness / softness, and cavity status as ground properties. For example, if training data is created by assigning ground property labels to construction machine data, camera image data, and spectral image data, the ground property will be output for each of the input construction machine data, camera image data, and spectral image data. On the other hand, if training data is created by assigning ground property labels to a dataset consisting of construction machine data, camera image data, and spectral image data, the ground property will be output for each dataset.
[0054] As shown in Figure 3, when the system is configured with terminal equipment and a central unit, it is also possible to configure it so that the main construction data is input using the terminal equipment, and the ground condition determination means 102 of the central unit outputs the ground condition. That is, when the main construction data is input to terminal equipment located near the construction team, the main construction data is transmitted to the central unit transmission / reception means 107 by the terminal-side transmission / reception means 106, and the ground condition determination means 102 of the central unit takes in the main construction data and outputs the ground condition. In this case, the ground condition output by the ground condition determination means 102 should be transmitted to the terminal equipment and displayed on its output means 105.
[0055] When the ground properties are output by the ground properties determination means 102, the output control means 104 displays the borehole in 3D (or 2D) on the output means 105 as shown in Figure 5 (Step 226 in Figure 8). Alternatively, as shown in Figure 6, the shape of the planned borehole DP (drilling shape) and the shape of the completed borehole DA can be displayed together, and the type of ground properties can be indicated using color, shading, and patterns. 。 [Industrial applicability]
