An improved GM(1,3) model combining terrain factors and neural network error correction for urban land subsidence prediction

Urban land subsidence is a slow-density geology disaster caused by the withdrawal of groundwater or the application of water at the land surface. Developing a method of effectively monitoring, predicting and preventing land subsidence has become an urgent urban disaster issue and a great challenge....

description Urban land subsidence is a slow-density geology disaster caused by the withdrawal of groundwater or the application of water at the land surface. Developing a method of effectively monitoring, predicting and preventing land subsidence has become an urgent urban disaster issue and a great challenge. Traditional mathematical statistics prediction models lack physical meaning. Thus, in this paper, an improved third-order gray prediction GM(1, 3) model that combines terrain factors and neural network error corrections is proposed for urban land subsidence prediction. First, the correlation between land subsidence and terrain factors is verified through a correlation analysis. Second, a geospatial weight matrix based on the terrain factors is presented for auxiliary variable selection. Finally, a neural network is used to model the prediction errors to improve the model accuracy. Precision levelling data for Haiyan County, Zhejiang Province, China from 1999 to 2016 are used as the experimental data. The results show that the proposed method can achieve the same accuracy level as precision levelling. The average absolute error of three-phrase prediction is less than 10 mm, and the relative error can reach 0.4%. The proposed method can be expected to replace precision levelling for the prediction of long-term land subsidence and provide decision support for urban settlement disaster prevention.
