Abstract：
Under the dual influences of extreme tunnel construction conditions and the industrial transformation driven by the development of new-generation information technology, intelligent construction has become an inevitable trend in tunnelling development. Intelligent tunnel construction aligns with the needs of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, using the theories and methods of information technology to transform and enhance traditional tunnel construction modes, achieving digital empowerment and transformation in tunnel construction. This transformation has become a core driving force in advancing tunnelling development. Against this backdrop, this paper focuses on the latest technological developments in intelligent construction of drill-and-blast tunnels, discussing the necessity of intelligent tunnel construction, comprehensive solutions, and the information flow of "acquisition - transmission -processing - expression - analysis - service". It concludes with a future outlook on intelligent tunnel construction.By reviewing the latest technologies and research progress in data acquisition, transmission, processing, expression, analysis, and services within the field of intelligent tunnel construction, this paper introduces key challenges such as"integrated digital-numericaldata analysis theory", "full-element digital twins of human-machine-environment","integrated construction mode of acquisitiondesign-construction", and "automation of entire engineering equipment",aiming to realize the intelligent tunnel construction, enhancethe quality and efficiency of major infrastructure projects.
