Reinforcement Learning for the Face Support Pressure of Tunnel Boring Machines

In tunnel excavation with boring machines, the tunnel face is supported to avoid collapse and minimise settlement. This article proposes the use of reinforcement learning, specifically the deep Q-network algorithm, to predict the face support pressure. The algorithm uses a neural network to make dec...
