Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of traffic engineering, specifically to a city road network resilience management platform and assessment method based on dynamic cascading failure. Background Technology
[0002] Urban road traffic systems are massive systems composed of multiple subsystems with strong randomness. Due to abnormal events such as traffic accidents, road construction, and large-scale events, individual road segments or intersections may fail, leading to further failures of related road segments or intersections—a cascading failure of the road traffic network. Understanding the dynamic cascading failure process and resilience evolution of urban road networks under the impact of abnormal events, and developing a dynamic cascading failure resilience analysis system for urban road networks that integrates failure simulation and resilience assessment, is of urgent practical need and significant theoretical value.
[0003] In the field of urban road network resilience assessment, existing technologies have significant shortcomings. These shortcomings are primarily reflected in the fact that most current studies employ static traffic assignment models to construct cascading failure models, simulating the chain reaction triggered by traffic flow redistribution under disturbances by coupling traffic assignment with failure mechanisms. This approach treats dynamic processes statically, simulating dynamic cascading within a static framework. It only approximates the failure steady state through iterative assignment, thus failing to accurately reproduce the failure propagation mechanism under abnormal scenarios.
[0004] Therefore, this paper proposes a city road network resilience management platform and evaluation method based on dynamic cascading failure to address the above problems. Summary of the Invention

Finally, by adjusting the road segment damage severity parameter, it analyzes the impact of the randomness of the impact of abnormal events on the robustness of the road network, and analyzes the reliability of the urban road network under abnormal events. This realistically recreates the failure propagation mechanism under abnormal scenarios, providing an effective method to overcome the dual shortcomings of traditional models in insufficient quantification of the dynamics of travel behavior and the system recovery process.

Example
[0057] This application selects a portion of the road network in Xi'an City for topology network construction to analyze the resilience of the urban road network.

[0059] A cascading failure model based on dynamic traffic assignment is established, and a traffic assignment model based on the user equilibrium principle is established based on Wardrop's second principle. An objective function is also established.
[0060] According to the formula: ; In the formula, Z represents the sum of traffic impedance of all road segments a in the road segment set A during the study time period from time 0 to T. This represents the traffic volume on road segment a at time t; This represents the traffic impedance value of road segment a at time t.
[0061] This paper describes the cascading failure process of the road network under traffic events and establishes flow conservation constraints based on the traffic assignment model.
[0062] According to the formula: ; ; ; ; In the formula, This represents the traffic volume on path p between OD and w at time t; This represents the traffic volume on road segment a between OD and w at time t; This represents the traffic demand between OD and w. This represents the set of paths between OD pairs w at time t; It is a representation Does a 0-1 variable exist on road segment a? This represents the set of road segments that have not been affected by abnormal events.
[0063] Based on the cascading failure model of completely damaged road segments and the cascading failure model of partially damaged road segments, road segment damage state constraints caused by abnormal events are defined, and the road attributes of undamaged and damaged road segments at each time t are calculated.
[0064] According to the formula: ; ; ; ; ; In the formula, Let t be the road capacity of the undamaged section. Let t be the road capacity of the damaged section; This represents the initial road capacity of road segment a; This represents the set of road segments affected by abnormal events.

The ratio; when At that time, the road section is not connected, and the 0-hour traffic flow time is equal to... .
[0068] See Figure 2 The Frank-Wolfe algorithm with time iteration is used to solve the model in this application.
[0069] The model proposed in the application is used to Figure 6The resilience assessment was conducted using nine scenarios, and the statistical distribution characteristics of the road traffic network resilience assessment indices c, r, and v were obtained as follows: Figure 7-9 As shown.
[0070] Select scenarios S1-S5 and plot a scatter plot of resilience indicators as follows: Figure 10 As shown in the figure, the c-axis represents the cumulative performance loss of the road network, the r-axis represents the robustness index of the road network, and the v-axis represents the recovery speed of the road network.
[0071] in addition, Figure 11 There is interleaving between S1 and S2, and between S3 and S4. From... Figure 11 (a) It was found that the boundary between S1 and S2 was not clear enough, which indicates that the difference in road network performance between complete and partial damage of a road segment is not significant. Figure 11 (b) indicates a situation where there is a clear overlap in resilience index values between scenarios S3 and S4. This means that in scenarios S3 and S4, when one road segment is completely destroyed, although the degree of road network performance degradation will be greater, the degree of road network performance degradation will still be affected by the location of the completely destroyed road segment.
[0072] To explore the impact mechanism of damaged road segment characteristics on road network resilience, this application analyzes the relationship between the nodal degree of relevant intersections of damaged road segments and resilience assessment indices c, r, and v based on scenarios S1 and S2. (See...) Figure 12 .in Figure 12 (a) Figure 12 (c) and Figure 12 (e) represents the relationship between the cumulative loss value c of road network performance, the robustness r of road network, and the recovery speed v of road network and the network structure characteristics of the partially damaged road segment under scenario S1.
[0073] This application combines road network transport efficiency indicators and road network structure indicators when constructing a road network performance evaluation method, and adjusts the proportion of transport efficiency indicators and road network structure indicators through the parameter γ. To explore the impact of parameter γ on the resilience evaluation effect, the resilience evaluation results for scenario S2 were analyzed. By setting the parameter γ value to 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7, the distribution of resilience indicators under different γ values was compared, see [see...]. Figure 13 . Figure 13 (a)- Figure 13 (c) Characterizes the relationship between the cumulative loss value c of road network performance, road network robustness r, and road network recovery speed v and the network structure characteristics of the partially damaged road segment under scenario S2 when the parameter γ is 0.3.
[0074] This application introduces random variables into the capacity index of damaged road segments to analyze the reliability of urban road networks when non-normal events with random impacts on road segments occur. Random numbers representing the degree of road segment damage within the range [0.2, 0.8] are generated and applied to the resilience assessment of scenario S1. The differences between these results and the resilience results for scenario S1 under a fixed road segment damage level are compared (see [link]). Figure 14 .
[0075] The examples demonstrate that anomalous events leading to complete road blockage have a greater impact on the resilience of urban road networks, and the robustness of the road network decreases more rapidly with the increase in the number of damaged road segments. Secondly, the network structure characteristics of damaged road segments significantly affect resilience indices; the cumulative loss of road network function and the road network recovery capacity increase with the increase in the degree of the nodes related to the damaged edges, while the robustness of the road network decreases with the increase in the degree of the nodes related to the damaged edges. Thirdly, the weight given to transport efficiency and road network structure characteristics in resilience assessment also greatly influences the resilience estimation results; searching for a suitable parameter γ can significantly improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the three-dimensional resilience assessment results. Finally, the impact of the randomness of the impact of anomalous events on road network robustness was analyzed by adjusting the road segment damage degree parameter. The results show that random damage results in a wider distribution range of resilience indices, making it easier to cause more verifiable damage to road network performance and structure. The resilience analysis framework proposed in this application is effective.
