Abstract:Based on the consideration of the current operation status of urban underground roads and analysis of the current problems, it can be concluded that the current problems mainly include traffic safety problems, structural diseases, and insufficient intelligent management levels. Among them, the main factors affecting traffic safety are node traffic congestion, irregular safety facilities, and the black hole effect of the tunnel entrance. Through the analysis of the causes of current problems and the targeted treatment of different types of problems, suggestions for quality upgrading of urban underground roads are proposed from four aspects: traffic safety and lighting facilities improvement, traffic operation control improvement, smart disaster prevention, and pre-control, and smart management. The research results show: 1) Quality upgrading of urban underground roads should be adapted to tunnel conditions, and targeted measures should be taken to make the improvement more humane and economical; 2) There are good application prospects for intelligent technology in the fields of holographic sensing of operation status of the urban underground road, situation analysis, operating status early warning management and control, intelligent disaster prevention, detection, and intelligent maintenance.
