A full-face vehicular detection method for a railway tunnel lining and a device aim to avoid collision of ground penetrating radar antennas with an overhead line system and a support of the overhead line system, the detection speed is a normal running speed of a train, the antennas in full-face detection are not interfered with each other, automatic positioning is realized during detection, only ground penetrating radar signals in a tunnel need to be acquired, and a penetrating radar signal processing and analyzing method in tunnel detection is modified. The vehicular device comprises a six-channel high-speed scanning penetrating radar, a positioning portion, a laser ranging portion and data acquisition and processing software. The pulse repetition frequency of the ground penetrating radar is 3MHz, the pulse repetition frequency of each channel is 500kHz, and the scanning rate is 976scan/s. The ground penetrating radar is provided with TEM (transverse electric and magnetic field) short-horn air coupled antennas, each group of antennas realizes a double-transmission and single-receiving function, and the center frequency of the antennas is 300MHz. The ground penetrating radar antennas are mounted outside passenger train connectors, radiation surfaces of the antennas respectively face to an arch crown, arch springing and side walls, and the full-face vehicular detection method and the device are used for automatically detecting to exam the railway tunnel lining.
