Abstract:In view of the limitations of the traditional tunnel maintenance management model, such as lagging response and subjective decision-making under complex geological and climatic conditions, a "smart-resilient" tunnel maintenance safety management paradigm (SRTMP) is proposed and practiced. This paradigm is concretely embodied as a "1+4+N" system (comprising one smart platform, four core mechanisms, and N integrated technologies), which has been successfully applied in the Kelao Wanliang Tunnel in the G344 Highway. The practice demonstrates that the system not only improves the defect handling efficiency by 40%, reduces the equipment failure rates by 10%, increases the identification rate of preventive maintenance risks by 140%, and shortens the emergency response time to 15 minutes, but also theoretically reveals the deep coupling mechanism among technological empowerment, institutional adaptation and organizational evolution. By introducing the context-mechanism-outcome (CMO) analytical framework and combined with the empirical data, the intrinsic operational pathways of this paradigm are demonstrated. Furthermore, based on the case comparisons of different geological and climatic conditions, a promotion strategy of "universal core module and local parameter adaptation" is proposed for the paradigm transformation of tunnel maintenance safety management from "emergency response" to "resilient operation and maintenance".
