  "abstract": "Muography exploits the penetrating power of muons to image the interior of large dense objects, but cosmic-ray sources provide only ~1 {cm}^{-2} {min}^{-1} predominantly from above, limiting imaging speed and accessible geometries. Electron-driven muon production has recently been demonstrated with laser-wakefield accelerators, but shot-to-shot fluctuations hinder systematic studies required for quantitative accelerator muography. Using Geant4 Monte Carlo simulations, we model the full experimental setup at Shaft 2 of the Shanghai High repetition rate XFEL and Extreme light facility (SHINE), from a 3 GeV, 50 pC, 50 Hz commissioning electron beam interacting with a muon target through 25 m of beamline structures and a 3 m-thick concrete isolation wall. Approximately 0.28 effective reconstructed single-muon events per bunch, with residual kinetic energies below 1.2 GeV after traversing the wall, reach the downstream muography test area (~14 s^{-1}). The wall absorbs most charged background particles below ~1 GeV, while residual neutrons can be discriminated by their characteristic detector energy deposition. Scattering-tomography simulations show that $3\\times 10^{5}$ effective muon events, accumulated in approximately 6 h at the commissioning rate, yield a Structural Similarity Index above 0.9, demonstrating the feasibility of quantitative accelerator-based muography using SHINE's electron-driven GeV-scale forward muon source. At the 8 GeV/50 kHz benchmark, the projected muon intensity exceeds $5 \\times 10^{4}$ μ/s, corresponding conservatively to approximately one muon per bunch at the detector. This exceeds the cosmic-ray flux by orders of magnitude, while SHINE's superconducting linac provides a stable, controlled platform for developing electron-on-target muography.",
