  • Publication number: 20240420487
    Abstract: A multi-task joint perception network model and detection method for traffic road surface information can simultaneously detect a lane line and a drivable area. A coordinate attention mechanism is integrated into a traditional feature extraction network to ensure that a feature extraction effect is enhanced while a calculated amount is not increased. In a neck network, a dilated convolution residual module is proposed to enhance performance of prediction of details by the network, and a decoder part shares features of the drivable area into lane line detection to enhance a lane line detection effect under complex road conditions. In a training stage, there is provided a alternating optimization training method to improve integral segmentation performance of the model. The multi-task joint perception network model and detection method realizes quite high accuracy and excellent speed performance in a challenging BDD100K dataset.

  • Publication number: 20240229400
    Abstract: A method for reinforcing soft ground by post-grouting combined with pressurized vacuum preloading is proposed, by pre-burying prefabricated vertical drains and air-boosted pipes in granular material piles, and the air-boosted pipes are used as grouting pipes to reduce the number of times of piling, which not only improves the construction efficiency, but also reduces the structural disturbance of the soil and the influence of smear effect, thus reducing the impact on the radial permeability and the radial consolidation coefficients. The method does not use geotextile bags for granular materials, which can avoid the problem of forming a localized clogging area around the geotextile bags, and the method not only improves the efficiency of vacuum transfer in a pre-consolidation stage, but also improves the grouting effect in the later stage, effectively enhances the strength of soft soil and makes granular material piles and the surrounding soil form composite ground.
