However, achieving this goal is challenging due to the high-dimensional and coupled nature of traffic feature evolution patterns, which are deeply recessive and make it difficult to effectively characterize and model TSP using purely data-driven methods. Furthermore, a significant limitation of existing TSP methods is their inability to estimate data and model uncertainty, which is crucial for understanding inherent data variations and model limitations. To address these challenges, this study proposes a novel TSP model that combines the diffusion convolutional recurrent neural network (DCRNN) with physical prior knowledge within a Bayesian framework. Specifically, DCRNN captures the spatiotemporal correlation among various sensors. Furthermore, this approach leverages Monte Carlo dropout and heteroskedasticity modeling to quantify epistemic and aleatoric uncertainties. The model's efficacy is evaluated using the Xuancheng China urban dataset and the PeMS04 US highway dataset. Empirical results show that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods in both prediction accuracy and uncertainty quantification. These findings highlight the advantages of a data-model hybrid-driven approach to achieve accurate and reliable TSP. This study effectively quantifies and mitigates both aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties, holding significant implications for the control and management of real traffic flow.","PeriodicalId":156,"journal":{"name":"Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.775,"publicationDate":"2025-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145103807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study presents a novel integrated framework that automates tunnel inspection by combining self-supervised deep learning, image-based three-dimensional reconstruction, and building information modeling (BIM)-based spatial damage localization. At the core of our approach is a Segformer-based, two-stage domain adaptation model, which leverages pseudo-labeling and confidence masking to improve generalization across visually diverse environments without requiring extensive labeled data. Unlike traditional supervised methods, our model achieves a mean intersection over union (mIoU) of 0.81 and an F1 score of 0.77, demonstrating superior robustness and generalization. Images captured via unmanned aerial vehicles and iPhones were processed to generate a dense point cloud, which was used to construct a three-dimensional (3D) BIM model of the tunnel structure. Corrosion regions were detected and precisely localized within the BIM coordinate system using a custom coordinate estimation method. The final outputs were compiled into a structured database for seamless digital asset management. Overall, the proposed framework offers a scalable, cost-effective, and highly adaptable solution that significantly reduces manual labor and inspection time, with strong potential for broader deployment in infrastructure condition monitoring and digital asset management.","PeriodicalId":156,"journal":{"name":"Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.775,"publicationDate":"2025-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145089933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study proposes an anti-frequency long short-term memory (AF-LSTM) model designed to ensure a stable estimation regardless of noise conditions. The term “anti-frequency” is used to describe the process of suppressing predefined frequency components by setting them to zero in the frequency domain. The AF-LSTM model introduces an AF layer before the LSTM layer, which suppresses specific frequency components before learning. The AF layer transforms the input into the frequency domain, zeroes out the components within predefined noise-prone frequency bands, and converts the signal back to the time domain. This process enables LSTM to effectively learn and estimate structural responses with improved consistency, even under noise conditions. The proposed model was verified using a numerical three-degree-of-freedom system, demonstrating stable estimation performance under varying noise frequencies and amplitude ratios. Experimental validation on a three-story steel frame structure and acceleration data from a real 55-floor building with environmental noise confirmed the model's ability to estimate stable responses across non-stationary inputs.","PeriodicalId":156,"journal":{"name":"Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.775,"publicationDate":"2025-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145084052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Model parameter updating through inverse analysis based on monitoring data is key to improving analysis accuracy. However, existing parameter updating methods for dams often neglect parameter correlations, resulting in discrepancies between the joint distribution of updated parameters and experimental data. Besides, conventional parameter updating methods exhibit considerable randomness, resulting in non‐unique updated parameters. These factors limit the improvement of analysis accuracy and even lead to the failure of analysis convergence. Thus, this study proposes a parameter updating method for deformation analysis of rockfill dams based on surrogate‐assisted optimization. Innovatively, the multivariate distribution of experimental data of model parameters is incorporated as prior knowledge to supervise the parameter updating. Specifically, a multivariate distribution model of experimental data from 48 rockfill dams worldwide is constructed using multivariate copula function. Then the joint probability density function is integrated into the optimization process through population preselection mechanism and penalty function, guiding the updated parameters to align with the experimental joint distribution. The application to an ultra‐high rockfill dam demonstrated that this scheme effectively identified multiple optimal parameters from the constitutive model.

Large language models (LLMs) offer new potential for synthesizing such scenarios, but existing evaluation metrics are inadequate because corner case data typically lack one-to-one mapping to real samples and have extremely limited instances. To address this, we propose a two-stage evaluation framework, that is, a physics-informed train on synthetic and test on real (PI-TSTR) framework. Using safety-critical car-following (CF) scenarios as an example, we design a prompting and interpolation strategy to guide LLMs in generating physically feasible synthetic follower trajectories from real leading vehicle inputs. We then evaluate the generated data by training several CF models, that is, extended S-shaped three-parameter (ES3) model, Gipps model, optimal velocity model (OVM), improved full velocity difference model (IFVDM), intelligent driver model (IDM), and testing their performances on real-world data. The CF models trained on LLM-generated trajectories show strong generalization to real scenarios, validating the quality of the synthetic data.

This study presents a novel underwater photogrammetry solution based on an active cooperative target that combines optical hardware with intelligent algorithms to achieve millimeter‐level positioning in complex marine environments. Specifically, the system designs and optimizes the hardware configuration, including binocular vision camera, LED array target, and auxiliary optics, through multi‐parameter association to ensure the continuity and stability of positioning.

In a standard test cell, the system achieves an angular accuracy of 0.24° and a ranging accuracy of 0.72 mm.
