Title
An Improved Multi-Sensor MTI Time-Series Fusion Method to Monitor the Subsidence of Beijing Subway Network during the Past 15 Years.
Abstract
Land subsidence threatens the stable operation of urban rail transit, including subways. Obtaining deformation information during the entire life-cycle of a subway becomes a necessary means to guarantee urban safety. Restricted by sensor life and cost, the single-sensor Multi-temporal Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (MTI) technology has been unable to meet the needs of long-term sequence, high-resolution deformation monitoring, especially of linear objects. The multi-sensor MTI time-series fusion (MMTI-TSF) techniques has been proposed to solve this problem, but rarely mentioned. In this paper, an improved MMTI-TSF is systematically explained and its limitations are discussed. Taking the Beijing Subway Network (BSN) as a case study, through cross-validation and timing verification, we find that the improved MMTI-TSF results have higher accuracy (R(2)of 98% and, Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of 4mm), and compared with 38 leveling points, the fitting effect of the time series is good. We analyzed the characteristics of deformation along the BSN over a 15-year periods. The results suggest that there is a higher risk of instability in the eastern section of Beijing Subway Line 6 (L6). The land subsidence characteristics along the subway lines are related to its position from the subsidence center, and the edge of the subsidence center presents a segmented feature.
