As the core carrier of urban public transportation, the construction scale and efficiency of urban rail transit directly affect the completeness of urban transportation network and the quality of residents' travel. Shield tunneling has become the mainstream construction method for urban rail transit section tunnels due to its advantages of safety, efficiency, and minimal disturbance to the surrounding environment. In recent years, with the deep integration of intelligent and digital technology and high-end equipment manufacturing, shield tunneling construction technology has continued to iterate and upgrade, gradually transforming from traditional manual control and single function mode to digital autonomous operation, multi-functional adaptation, green and efficient construction, effectively solving industry problems such as complex geology, narrow space, and efficient construction, comprehensively assisting the high-quality and efficient promotion of urban rail transit engineering, and providing solid technical support for the construction of urban rail transit network.
