Abstract

In this study, we attempt to use the high-speed train (HST)-induced seismic data for subsurface elastic parameter reconstruction by the full waveform inversion (FWI) method. The HSTs provide a new kind of seismic source as the superposition of a series of moving subsources. We consider the situation of HST running on the viaduct and use a finite difference method to simulate the seismic wave excitation. The result shows that the HST-induced seismic data are highly complex in the time domain but appear as a series of discrete peaks in the frequency domain. Elastic FWI is used to retrieve the P- and S-wave velocities of the subsurface based on this new kind of seismic data. The alternative iteration strategy and multiscale inversion are used to improve the inversion results. Numerical examples with the Marmousi2 model show the feasibility and the great potential of using this new kind of seismic data in seismic imaging.
