用边缘计算实现桥梁检测合规自动审查,准确率超99%
Edge-Based Agentic Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Autonomous FHWA Bridge Inspection Compliance
- 本地运行的智能代理系统,结合向量搜索与结构化查询
- 在无网络环境下实现每小时处理197座桥,准确率达99.77%以上
- 适合交通部门、基建监管机构用于大规模桥梁巡检
美国联邦公路管理局(FHWA)要求对超过60万座美国桥梁,依据国家桥梁库存记录与编码指南(NBI)进行合规评估。人工核查耗时费力且易出错,尤其在无网络连接的野外环境难以实施。本文提出BridgeGuard,一种完全离线的智能代理检索增强生成(RAG)系统,用于自主桥梁合规检查。该系统将对FHWA记录编码指南的向量搜索与对NBI表格数据的结构化SQL查询相结合,由状态化的多步ReAct规划循环在普通边缘设备上本地执行。采用章节感知的分块算法,保持了法规条目层级边界,块完整性达94.2%,远高于传统固定大小切分的28.4%。在特拉华州2023年全量(874座桥)和德克萨斯州样本(200座桥)数据集上,系统对结构缺陷桥梁识别的分类准确率分别为99.77%和100.0%,引用准确率100.0%,每小时可处理197.0座桥,无需外部网络接入。消融实验表明,向量搜索与多步智能体循环均对正确合规推理至关重要。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) mandates that over 600,000 bridges in the United States be evaluated against the Recording and Coding Guide for the National Bridge Inventory (NBI). Manual compliance verification is labor-intensive, error-prone, and impractical in connectivity-limited field environments. This paper introduces BridgeGuard, a fully air-gapped agentic Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system for autonomous bridge inspection compliance. BridgeGuard integrates vector search over the FHWA Recording and Coding Guide with structured SQL queries against NBI tabular data, orchestrated by a stateful multi-step ReAct planning loop executing locally on commodity edge hardware. A section-aware chunking algorithm preserves hierarchical regulatory item boundaries, achieving 94.2% chunk integrity compared with 28.4% for naive fixed-size splitting. Evaluated on the full Delaware 2023 NBI inventory (874 bridges) and a Texas sample (200 bridges), the system achieves 99.77% and 100.0% classification accuracy, respectively, for Structurally Deficient bridge identification, with 100.0% citation accuracy, at 197.0 bridges per hour with out external network access. Ablation experiments confirm that both vector search and the multi-step agentic loop are necessary for correct compliance reasoning.
