With digital information applied in intelligent transportation system, pavement crack detection with digital twins has drawn widely attention since the past several years. However, it is still a challenge task to accomplish crack detection satisfactory results due to complex pavement background. This paper presents a pavement crack detection method based on 3D edge representation and data communication with digital twins. Firstly, pavement data is achieved by multiple sensors including video data and 3D scanning technology, and the digital twins based model is constructed based on data communication. Secondly, to distinguish between crack feature and pavement background in depth level, the point cloud data enhancement method based on fractional differential is proposed to strengthen crack boundary and maintain detail simultaneously. Thirdly, a 3D crack segmentation algorithm is proposed based on edge feature representation. After improved filter function with plane proximity and depth similarity, the gradient magnitude values of every point are estimated by the neighborhood and direction. Two thresholds are computed automatically using the iteration method to extract the crack from pavement. Finally, the dataset is established by 2600 crack data, and extensive experiments verify the proposed method could conduct better result compared with other existing methods using F-measure evaluation system.

In recent years, with the rapid development of the global demand and scale for deep underground space utilization, deep space has gradually transitioned from single-purpose uses such as underground transportation, civil defense, and commerce to a comprehensive, livable, and disaster-resistant underground ecosystem. This shift has brought increasing attention to the safety of personnel flow in deep spaces. In addressing challenges in deep space passenger flow prediction, such as irregular flow patterns, surges in extreme conditions, large data dimensions, and redundant features complicating the model, this paper proposes a deep space passenger flow prediction model that integrates a Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network. The model first employs a dual-layer LSTM network structure with a Dropout layer to capture complex temporal dynamics while preventing overfitting. Then, a Self-Attention mechanism and TCN network are introduced to reduce redundant feature data and enhance the model’s performance and speed. Finally, the Beluga Whale Optimization (BWO) algorithm is used to optimize hyperparameters, further improving the prediction accuracy of the network. Experimental results demonstrate that the BWO-TCLS-Self-Attention model proposed in this paper achieves an R2 value of 96.94%, with MAE and RMSE values of 118.464 and 218.118, respectively. Compared with some mainstream prediction models, the R2 value has increased, while both MAE and RMSE values have decreased, indicating its ability to accurately predict passenger flow in deep underground spaces.
