Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of structural performance evaluation of road engineering materials, and in particular to a method and system for visually screening the microstructural parameters of asphalt mixtures based on collinearity quantification technology. Background Technology

[0002] As a typical heterogeneous multiphase composite material, the performance of asphalt mixtures is jointly determined by microstructural factors such as the morphological characteristics of aggregate particles, their spatial structure combination, and their bonding state with asphalt binder. These structural factors exhibit significant nonlinear correlations and high coupling characteristics at different scales, making the mapping relationship between macroscopic performance and microstructure extremely complex. Traditional structural parameter selection often relies on empirical judgment or univariate statistical analysis, which fails to fully reveal the redundancy and potential collinearity between parameters, resulting in large model fitting errors, poor stability, and weak engineering applicability. Against this backdrop, there is an urgent need for a scientific, systematic, and visualized parameter selection method that can accurately extract the structural features that play a dominant role in macroscopic performance from multidimensional microstructural indicators, providing a solid foundation for structure-performance relationship modeling and mechanism explanation.

[0003] In the field of road engineering and pavement performance research, establishing predictive models between structural parameters and performance indicators has become a crucial step. However, the practicality of these models depends not only on algorithm complexity but also, and more importantly, on the representativeness and independence of the input parameters. Faced with high-dimensional structural parameter systems, efficiently identifying key indicators with significant influencing mechanisms and low risk of collinearity becomes the core issue for improving the accuracy and stability of prediction equations.

[0004] Currently, the following methods are mainly used for screening structural parameters: (1) Selecting parameters based on experience or subjective judgment. Although this method is simple, it is highly dependent on expert knowledge, lacks objective standards, and is difficult to replicate. (2) Using dimensionality reduction methods such as principal component analysis (PCA) and minimum redundancy maximum correlation (mRMR) to reconstruct or select features. Compared with subjective selection of parameters based on experience, this method does not require expert knowledge, the evaluation standard is more objective, and it helps to compress feature dimensions. However, blind dimensionality reduction will cause the screening results to lose key mechanism information, resulting in poor generality of subsequent engineering models and significant deviations between calculation results and engineering reality. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that existing methods for screening structural parameters of asphalt mixtures lose key mechanistic information in the screening results, leading to poor universality of subsequent engineering models and significant deviations between calculation results and actual engineering conditions. Therefore, this invention proposes a visualization screening method and system for microstructural parameters of asphalt mixtures based on collinearity quantification technology.

[0008] Step 2: Obtain the correlation frequency of structural parameters based on the correlation coefficients between the microstructural parameters of the asphalt mixture. Compare the correlation frequency of structural parameters with the preset frequency threshold. If the correlation frequency of all structural parameters is less than the preset frequency threshold, proceed to Step 5; otherwise, obtain the highest correlation frequency of structural parameters. If there is only one highest correlation frequency, proceed to Step 4; if there are multiple highest correlation frequencies, proceed to Step 3.

[0009] Step 3: Obtain the sum of the absolute values ​​of the correlation coefficients between the microstructural parameter corresponding to the highest correlation frequency value of each structural parameter and other microstructural parameters, remove the microstructural parameter corresponding to the maximum value of the absolute value of the correlation coefficient, and return to Step 2;

[0024]

[0025] in, It is the first The variance inflation factor of each residual microstructure parameter The coefficient of determination is obtained by regression analysis with the i-th residual microstructure parameter as the dependent variable and the remaining residual microstructure parameters as independent variables.

[0026] The regression analysis is a multiple linear regression analysis.

[0027] Furthermore, the step five, which involves obtaining the screening results of the microstructure parameters of the asphalt mixture using the variance expansion factor of the remaining asphalt mixture microstructure parameters, specifically involves:

[0028] By comparing the variance expansion factor of each remaining asphalt mixture microstructure parameter with the VIF threshold, the remaining asphalt mixture microstructure parameters corresponding to variance expansion factors greater than the VIF threshold are deleted, thus obtaining the screening results of asphalt mixture microstructure parameters.

Compare the correlation frequency of structural parameters with a preset frequency threshold. If the correlation frequency of all structural parameters is less than the preset frequency threshold, then the current microstructural parameter is used as the preliminary screening result of the microstructural parameters of the asphalt mixture, and the final screening module of the microstructural parameters is executed; otherwise, obtain the highest value of the correlation frequency of the structural parameters. If there is only one highest value of the correlation frequency of the structural parameters, then execute B3; if there are multiple highest values ​​of the correlation frequency of the structural parameters, then execute B2.

[0045] B2.

Furthermore, a variance inflation factor is introduced to assess the risk of collinearity, thus establishing a final screening system for microstructural parameters. This invention utilizes collinearity quantification technology for the highly efficient and visual screening and identification of microstructural parameters in asphalt mixtures. It can systematically reveal the redundant relationships and degree of collinearity among microstructural parameters and intuitively extract key indicators that significantly affect performance, thereby optimizing the modeling input system and improving the simplicity and stability of the analytical equations. This invention helps to overcome the bottleneck problem of "high dimensionality and low efficiency" in structure-performance relationship modeling, avoids the loss of key mechanistic information, improves the universality of subsequent engineering models, and reduces the deviation between subsequent calculation results and engineering reality.

[0060] Figure 2 The result is the variance inflation factor calculated for the remaining parameters. Detailed Implementation

[0061] Specific Implementation Method 1: The specific process of this implementation method for visually screening asphalt mixture microstructure parameters based on collinearity quantification technology is as follows:

[0062] Step 1: Obtain the microstructural parameters of the asphalt mixture and the correlation coefficients between these parameters. Visualize the correlation coefficients between the microstructural parameters of the asphalt mixture. Specifically:

[0063] Step 1: Obtain the microstructure parameters of the asphalt mixture and the Pearson correlation coefficients between the microstructure parameters of the asphalt mixture, and construct the correlation coefficient matrix.

[0082]

[0083] in, It is the first The variance inflation factor of each residual microstructure parameter The coefficient of determination is obtained by regression analysis with the i-th residual microstructure parameter as the dependent variable and the remaining residual microstructure parameters as independent variables.

[0084] The regression analysis is a multiple linear regression analysis, which does not consider the interaction effects between parameters or feature engineering.

[0085] Step 5.2: Obtain the screening results of the microstructure parameters of the asphalt mixture using the variance expansion factor of the remaining asphalt mixture microstructure parameters, specifically as follows:

[0086] By comparing the variance expansion factor of each remaining asphalt mixture microstructure parameter with the VIF threshold, the remaining asphalt mixture microstructure parameters corresponding to variance expansion factors greater than the VIF threshold are deleted, thus obtaining the screening results of asphalt mixture microstructure parameters.

[0087] The VIF threshold is usually set to 10, but a more stringent threshold is 5.
