To rapidly and accurately predict the temperature deformation of plateau railway bridges in sunny environments, an intelligent prediction model for bridge temperature deformation driven by meteorological data was proposed based on the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network. Taking the simply supported T-beam of the Lasa-Linzhi Railway as an example, a sample database mapping the meteorological data and temperature deformation was constructed through thermo-mechanical coupled finite element simulation, which was then used to train the prediction model and predict the temperature-induced deformation of the bridge. The results show that the LSTM model exhibits high accuracy and advantages, with a determination coefficient (R2) exceeding 0.97 for the prediction of vertical deflection of the beam. Compared with the Back Propagation (BP) neural network model, the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of the LSTM model are improved by more than 70%. Compared with the Random Forest (RF) model, the MAE and RMSE are improved by 24% and 27%, respectively. The predicted deflection is basically consistent with the true value in both trend and numerical value, indicating excellent prediction performance of the proposed method. This provides a reference for investigating the variation patterns of track irregularity of plateau railways and evaluating dynamic detection data of the track irregularity.
