摘要(Abstract):
To develop a fast and accurate data-driven framework for predicting environmental vibration during the planning and design stages of urban rail transit lines, a large dataset of measured vibration responses from an operating metro system is processed through systematic data cleaning and feature extraction to construct an environmental vibration database. The vibration source intensity is predicted using a neural network-based model driven by processed rail vibration data. The predicted source intensity is subsequently combined with a standardized chain calculation method specified in the technical guidelines for environmental impact assessment to estimate ground vibration levels. On this basis, a digital vibration mapping approach is developed to translate prediction results into a spatially explicit form. Through coordinate transformation, key parameters influencing environmental vibration, such as train speed, slope, buried depth, and tunnel type, are mapped onto the geographic coordinates of the rail alignment, enabling visualization of vibration levels and functional zones along the study section. The resulting vibration maps of source intensity and ground vibration demonstrate the applicability of the proposed framework for efficient and practical environmental vibration assessment.
