ANN-Based Approach for the Prediction of Peak Particle Velocity of Ground Induced by Underground Metro Operations
摘要
This research evaluated an artificial neural network (ANN) model to predict the peak particle velocity (PPV) induced by underground metro operations. Numerical simulations of the train-track-tunnel-soil system were conducted under diverse parametric scenarios, generating a dataset of 300 PPV responses. A three-layered neural network architecture was developed and trained using three algorithms: Levenberg-Marquardt (LM), Bayesian regularization (BR), and scaled conjugate gradient (SC). A comparative study and conventional multiple linear regression (MLR) analysis were performed to identify the best-performing ANN algorithm based on the coefficient of correlation (R) and mean squared error (MSE). The findings revealed a significant concordance between the on-site recorded PPV and the numerically simulated PPV. In contrast, the multiple linear regression model exhibited a noticeable deviation in the predicted outcomes. Among the ANN algorithms, Bayesian regularization and Levenberg-Marquardt yielded the most appropriate results compared to the on-site measurements, while the scaled conjugate gradient algorithm displayed an error exceeding 30%. The ANN model presented in this study can be easily applied to predict ground-induced PPV from metro movement, offering a practical engineering solution to quantify ground-borne vibrations.
