## Body

## 1. Introduction

Urban rail transit is the main traffic in China. The development of urban rail transit is of great significance to relieve the pressure of urban public transport, promote urban construction and promote the economic development of related industries, improve the travel and living quality of citizens, and improve the urban environment. Because it is mostly constructed in the middle of prosperous area of city, affected by many factors, such as the ground environment, geological conditions, construction conditions, and construction technology, large-scale network construction means that it will be confronted with huge safety risks, vulnerabilities, and management issues. In view of this, the national construction department has issued a number of opinions and regulations, which further clarified the requirements of the dual prevention mechanism of safety risk control and risk investigation and management in engineering construction [1–5]. In addition, it was pointed out in the outline of the 13th Five-Year National Informatization Plan (in China) that it is necessary to improve the informatization level of construction industry, enhance the integrated application of BIM, big data, intelligence, real-time communication, cloud computing, Internet of Things, and other information technologies, and build an integrated supervision platform. Based on the above requirements, in view of the safety supervision of rail transit engineering, the research and development of information intelligent supervision platform is imminent.At present, in view of the construction and management of urban rail transit projects, it can greatly improve the efficiency of management by establish the risk management and governance system which is information-based, visual, and intelligent [6–8]. Many scholars and institutions at home and abroad have also carried out research and application in related fields. In terms of security risk management, based on cost of safety (COS) theory and analytic hierarchy process (AHP), Aminbakhsh et al. [9] proposed a priority assessment method for security risk in construction engineering. Yoo et al. [10] forecast and evaluated the impact of the expansion project of Seoul Metro Line 3 in South Korea on the surrounding environment and possible risks by GIS and artificial neural networks. Ding and Zhou [11] established an urban subway safety risk early warning platform which automatically realizes the identification, evaluation, and early warning of engineering safety risks by data fusion model and which has been applied to Wuhan City subway construction project management. Li et al. [12] put forward the subway construction safety risk identification system and early warning system by BIM platforms. Aiming at the risk in subway construction, Yang et al. [13] developed a subway construction dynamic safety risk management and control information system and a supporting mobile phone inspection APP. Shen et al. [14] developed the Chengdu shield construction safety risk management information system which integrates the construction parameters, monitoring data, and live video surveillance of shield at all working points in the city and which has automatic reminder functions and perfect early warnings and disposal and alarm working mechanism for significant risky sources in shield construction. Wei et al. [15] established a 2D/3D visualization web platform which makes use of sensors to collect data from different angles and visualizes geological parameters and TBM parameters to predict potential risks in TBM construction. In terms of risk investigation and management, Ding [16] proposed a risk management system based on the classification, investigation, evaluation, reporting, and governance of risk. Moreover, on the basis of the model, the Beijing rail engineering safety and quality risk management information platform was jointly developed. Zhou et al. [17] developed a risk detection information system based on wearable devices with risk identification function and Internet data transmission technology, and the system was used in Wuhan subway engineering. Based on the shortcomings of current risk management system, Gu et al. [18] constructed a risk management system according to the closed-loop management theory which classifies risk in accordance with level, grade, and profession and proposed a six-link closed-loop management model. In addition, Tianjin, Nanning, Shenyang, Hefei, and other places have also carried out the research and application of the safety risk management information system for the construction of rail transit projects [19–25].In the application, some shortcomings of the existing platform have gradually emerged, mainly as follows: the platform has single function, the specialization of data analysis and risk prediction is not enough, and the safety risk management system and hidden danger investigation system are independent of each other. In addition, existing platforms often focus on single construction task, single component, or single security risk status, and thus it cannot aggregate and integrate multisource information in real time, it has not yet realized the integrated control of construction, operation, and maintenance, and it lacks management and control of major safety risk nodes such as lifting and hoisting and refinement of big data analysis modules and key indicators; therefore, it is impossible to realize overall and dynamic security risk management and risk investigation. Currently, the dual prevention content of security risks and hidden danger inspection required by national policies, laws, and regulations has not yet been embedded. Combining the above deficiencies, on the basis of fully understanding the relevant policies of national security management and emergency management, the basic theory of risk control, and the rules of hidden danger investigation and management, the authors focus on the overall relevance and unity of security risk management and hidden danger investigation and management. Combined with the requirements of the State Council to implement the dual prevention mechanism in the field of high-risk industries, this paper studies the integration of safety risk intelligent assessment, hidden danger investigation and management, intelligent data monitoring, shield and large lifting equipment management, patrol and video monitoring, and key risk nodes and contact channel safety management and control.


## 2. Overall Design of the Platform’s Operating Mechanism

### 2.1. Business Requirement Analysis

Based on the above analysis and the understanding of risk management theory, risk management mainly realizes the risk prediction before engineering construction, puts forward the process precontrol measures, and implements the precontrol measures in the construction process, namely, risk control. Hidden danger investigation mainly conducts regular investigation on the risk precontrol measures proposed before in the process of engineering construction to ensure that the measures are in place. The developer conducted in-depth research of the intelligent monitoring system platform of risk management and hidden danger control based on the underlying monitoring technology of IOT in order to improve the overall safety and quality of urban rail transport network construction.


### 2.2. Overall Design of Operating Mechanism

Based on the foresaid research, taking engineering risk control as the principal line, the overall operating mechanism of this platform has established the corresponding dual control for hidden danger detection and management. On the basis of the static risk rating evaluation in the preparatory stage of the construction, the major risk sources and their control were viewed as the key of hidden danger investigation. On top of that, all major risk sources were ensured to be under effective control with multidimensional monitoring information including supplementary data, construction parameters, and site inspection. In addition, the risk source level was dynamically adjusted for larger hidden danger and early warning alarm in the process of hidden danger detection and risk source monitoring. The specific dual control design of risk and hidden danger management is shown in Figure1.Figure 1
The design diagram of the dual management and control operation mechanism for the overall risk of the system platform.


### 2.3. Integrated Design of Warning and Alarm Mechanism

Combined with the characteristics of rail transit construction and safety risk control, this platform developed and designed a four-color early warning and alarm mechanism for engineering risk monitoring based on multidimensional data sources. The blue warning corresponding project is in the state of concern, the yellow warning corresponding project is in the state of control, the orange warning corresponding project is in the state of alarm and has not been effectively controlled, and the red warning corresponding project is in the state of emergency. Among them, the judgment basis for the above warning is as follows:(1)
Red warning: monitoring data seriously exceed the standard or monitoring data have great mutations. Combined with the on-site and surrounding environmental inspection, it is comprehensively judged as an unacceptable risk, and the agency is in the critical state of emergency.(2)
Orange warning: the monitoring data reach the level of engineering alarm. Combined with the site and surrounding environmental inspection, it is comprehensively judged that the project is not willing to accept risks, and the project is in an unsafe state. The site must immediately take control measures.(3)
Yellow warning: the monitoring data reach the level of engineering alarm. Combined with the site and surrounding environmental inspection, it is comprehensively judged as an acceptable risk, and the site must take preventive measures.(4)
Blue warning: the monitoring data reach the level of monitoring warning and monitoring alarm. It is necessary to remind all parties to pay attention to the continuous change of the monitoring data. When necessary, preventive measures should be taken on the scene.The explanation of the early warning “double control” index is as follows: when the cumulative change or two-day change rate exceeds 85% of the alarm value or when the on-site inspection is abnormal, the system starts early warning. Monitoring alarm: when one of the “double control” indicators (cumulative change and change rate) exceeds the alarm value or when the on-site inspection finds abnormalities. Engineering alarm: the monitoring data exceed the cumulative alarm value and are still not convergent (the change rate exceeds the alarm value for three consecutive days) or the cumulative value has exceeded the control value given by the design or when the abnormal situation is found in the field inspection.This mechanism can realize the integrated early warning and alarm of monitoring data, patrol inspection, hidden danger investigation, video monitoring, large equipment monitoring, and quality defect monitoring. At the same time, the corresponding dynamic level adjustment of risk sources can be matched to truly realize the effective dynamic control of the whole process of key risk sources. Based on GIS map, the real-time adjustment and display function of dynamic level of risk sources in the whole network can be realized. The detailed design of early warning and alarm mechanism is shown in Figures2 and 3.Figure 2
