Abstract
Tunnel construction, operation, and maintenance generate vast amounts of data that are difficult to manage and analyze. To address this challenge, we developed an intelligent operation and maintenance platform that is multi-level, multi-dimensional, interconnected, and secure. The platform incorporates an automated monitoring subsystem with sensors, data acquisition, transmission, and analysis modules, enabling real-time collection and transfer. An integrated early warning system combines historical monitoring data with a D-vine copula joint probability model, dynamically quantifying parameter dependencies to establish adaptive risk thresholds. This approach supports detailed risk stratification through joint failure probability analysis, outperforming traditional single-threshold methods. A visualization subsystem builds comprehensive geological and tunnel models from multi-source data, improving spatial transparency for decision-making. Ground-penetrating radar and three-dimensional image reconstruction are further integrated to enable regular defect detection. Applied to the Shizimen Tunnel Project in the Hengqin Free Trade Zone, the platform enhances tunnel safety management by automating data processing and monitoring, strengthening early warning capability, and providing advanced visualization tools. These innovations optimize decision-making and improve the overall safety and efficiency of tunnel operations.
期刊介绍:
Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology is an international journal which publishes authoritative articles encompassing the development of innovative uses of underground space and the results of high quality research into improved, more cost-effective techniques for the planning, geo-investigation, design, construction, operation and maintenance of underground and earth-sheltered structures. The journal provides an effective vehicle for the improved worldwide exchange of information on developments in underground technology - and the experience gained from its use - and is strongly committed to publishing papers on the interdisciplinary aspects of creating, planning, and regulating underground space.
