Abstract

With the rapid expansion of metro tunnel construction, safety risks such as collapse, water inrush, and gas explosion have become increasingly critical. Existing warning models often lack fine-grained disaster type identification and dynamic risk assessment capabilities. This paper proposes a two-stage intelligent warning framework based on multi-source data fusion. First, a dual-autoencoder structure (MLP-AE and LSTM-AE) extracts deep features from static geological parameters and dynamic monitoring sequences. Then, a multilayer perceptron (MLP) classifier identifies four typical states: normal, collapse, water/mud inrush, and gas explosion. Subsequently, a regression model predicts a continuous risk score, mapped to three risk levels: Safe, Moderate Risk, and Significant Risk. Experimental results demonstrate that, compared with Decision Tree (DT), Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT), and Bayesian Network (BN), the proposed framework achieves superior performance in risk level identification, with an accuracy of 91% and an F1-score of 0.87. Notably, it exhibits particularly strong recall for severe (Level III) risks, which is crucial for practical engineering applications. The proposed framework provides a practical and intelligent approach for safety warning in metro tunnel construction.
