Structural health monitoring (SHM) is considered an effective approach to analyze the efficient working of several mechanical components. For this purpose, ultrasonic guided waves can cover long-distance and assess large infrastructures in just a single test using a small number of transducers. However, the working of the SHM mechanism can be affected by some sources of variations (i.e., environmental). To improve the final results of ultrasonic guided wave inspections, it is necessary to highlight and attenuate these environmental variations. The loading parameters, temperature and humidity have been recognized as the core environmental sources of variations that affect the SHM sensing mechanism. Environmental temperature has the most significant influence on SHM results. There is still a need for extensive research to develop such a damage inspection approach that should be insensitive to environmental temperature variations. In this framework, the current research study will not only illuminate the effect of environmental temperature through different intelligent approaches but also suggest the standard mechanism to attenuate it in actual ultrasonic guided wave based SHM. Hence, the work presented in this article addresses one of the open research challenges that are the identification of the effect of environmental and operating conditions in practical applications of ultrasonic guided waves and impedance-based SHM.

To realize a better automatic train driving operation control strategy for urban rail trains, an automatic train driving method with improved DQN algorithm (classical deep reinforcement learning algorithm) is proposed as a research object. Firstly, the train control model is established by considering the train operation requirements. Secondly, the dueling network and DDQN ideas are introduced to prevent the value function overestimation problem. Finally, the priority experience playback and “restricted speed arrival time” are used to reduce the useless experience utilization. The experiments are carried out to verify the train operation strategy method by simulating the actual line conditions. From the experimental results, the train operation meets the ATO requirements, the energy consumption is 15.75% more energy-efficient than the actual operation, and the algorithm convergence speed is improved by about 37%. The improved DQN method not only enhances the efficiency of the algorithm but also forms a more effective operation strategy than the actual operation, thereby contributing meaningfully to the advancement of automatic train operation intelligence.
