Abstract:The cutterhead torque and thrust, reflecting the obstruction degree of the geological environment and the behavior of excavation, are the key operating parameters for the tunneling of tunnel boring machines (TBMs). In this paper, a hybrid hidden Markov model (HMM) combined with ensemble learning is proposed to predict the value intervals of the cutterhead torque and thrust based on the historical tunneling data. First, the target variables are encoded into discrete states by means of HMM. Then, ensemble learni… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
