Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of computer application technology, and in particular to an optimization method and system for rapidly solving high-speed train route plans. Background Technology

[0002] The preparation of EMU (Electric Multiple Unit) route planning is a core component of high-speed railway operation organization. Its solution efficiency directly determines the timeliness and practicality of the plan, thus affecting the response speed and quality of operational adjustments. With the continuous expansion of the high-speed railway network and the increasing train frequency, the search space for route planning is experiencing explosive growth, posing a severe challenge to traditional methods in terms of solution speed. Furthermore, existing technologies cannot obtain real-time location information and mileage data of EMUs, resulting in route plans lacking specificity and practicality, and failing to achieve personalized route arrangements based on the actual status of the EMUs. Currently, existing technologies for EMU route planning mainly rely on manual experience. Conventional manual planning methods are labor-intensive and inefficient, and can no longer meet the high-precision and high-efficiency requirements of large-scale railway networks. More importantly, the inability of existing technologies to obtain real-time location information and mileage data of EMUs means that the prepared route plans cannot consider the actual status of the EMUs, easily leading to practical problems such as EMU location mismatch and mileage exceeding limits.

[0003] Most existing technologies focus on constructing precise mathematical models to achieve theoretically optimal solutions, such as integer programming, multi-commodity network flow, or dynamic programming models, and rely on commercial solvers or decomposition algorithms for solving. While these methods have good theoretical properties in linear scenarios, their computation time increases dramatically with the scale of the problem, sometimes even failing to obtain a feasible solution within an acceptable timeframe, severely limiting their application in real-world complex road networks and high-density operation diagrams. Although some studies have attempted to improve solution efficiency using heuristic rules or metaheuristic algorithms, they still suffer from slow convergence speed, unstable solution quality, or getting trapped in local optima when dealing with ultra-large-scale problems or complex, sudden scenarios. Furthermore, existing methods generally lack efficient search strategies and pruning mechanisms designed for the special structure of high-speed rail routes, making it difficult to achieve a balance between solution speed and solution quality.

[0004] The disadvantages of the existing EMU route planning method mentioned above include:

[0005] Currently, the existing technology for manually compiling EMU (Electric Multiple Unit) route plans suffers from problems such as tight deadlines, heavy workload, low efficiency, and insufficient accuracy. Furthermore, this method is constrained by factors such as the experience and professional competence of the compilers, making it difficult to meet the needs of railway operation and development. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the technical problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides an optimization method for quickly solving the EMU (Electric Multiple Unit) route plan.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of the present invention provide the following technical solutions:

[0008] In a first aspect, in one embodiment of the present invention, an optimization method for rapidly solving the EMU (Electric Multiple Unit) route plan is provided, the method comprising the following steps:

[0009] Obtain real-time status data of the high-speed train;

[0010] Based on real-time status data of EMU trains, a spatiotemporal axis network for EMU train route planning is constructed.

[0011] Based on the actual status data and spatiotemporal axis network of the EMU, an original model of the EMU route plan is established; the actual status data includes the real-time status data and maintenance status data of the EMU.

[0012] Based on the real-time status data of the EMU and the original EMU route plan model, an aggregate optimization model is established. The aggregate optimization model is based on the real-time status data of the EMU to obtain the solution results.

[0013] Based on the results of the aggregation model, a deaggregation solution model is constructed. The deaggregation solution model combines the aggregation results with the acquired actual state data to generate a specific real-name route plan.

[0014] As a further aspect of the present invention, the real-time status data includes the actual location information and cumulative mileage data of each EMU; the actual location information includes the station, operating section or EMU depot; the cumulative mileage data includes the total mileage, daily mileage and mileage within the maintenance cycle.

[0015] As a further aspect of the present invention, the real-time status data of the EMU is obtained by collecting data deployed in the EMU status monitoring system.

[0016] As a further aspect of the present invention, the step of constructing a spatiotemporal axis network for EMU route planning based on real-time EMU status data includes:

[0017] Based on the actual location information of the EMU, a corresponding initial node is constructed for each EMU within the spatiotemporal axis network, and the time, space and status attributes of the node are set; the EMU depot, station or operating section where the EMU is located is determined by database query, and then the corresponding virtual start node and end node are established.

[0018] Based on the cumulative mileage data, a maintenance status judgment algorithm is used to compare the cumulative mileage with the maintenance threshold to determine the maintenance status of each EMU. For EMUs that are close to the maintenance mileage, their long-distance operation tasks are restricted when building the network, and the corresponding arc capacity is adjusted. For EMUs that have exceeded the maintenance mileage, they are removed from the set of available EMUs and no network nodes are created for them. At the same time, according to the preset maintenance plan, an available operating section and time window are set for each EMU.

[0019] Based on the processed EMU status data, a network generation algorithm is used to abstract stations in the train time map into nodes and feasible connection relationships between stations into arcs, thereby constructing an axis network based on the actual status of the EMU for a preset time period.

[0020] As a further aspect of the present invention, an original model of the EMU route plan is established based on the actual status data of the EMU; the actual status data includes real-time status data and maintenance status data of the EMU, including:

[0021] The pre-acquired vehicle candidate set, node set, and arc set are used as model parameters;

[0022] Based on actual location information, initial position constraints are set for each EMU to ensure that the EMU starts executing the route plan from its actual location; maintenance constraints are set based on cumulative mileage data to ensure that the EMU does not exceed the mileage limit before maintenance; and timetable constraints, station capacity constraints, and flow balance constraints are set based on actual timetable data.

[0023] As a further aspect of the present invention, an aggregated optimization model is established based on the real-time status data of the EMU and the original EMU route plan model, including:

[0024] The acquired real-time status data of the EMUs are aggregated to combine the location and mileage data of individual EMUs into network-wide resource allocation information. A data aggregation algorithm is used to aggregate the vehicle-level variables in the original model into arc-level flow variables, reducing model complexity. The distribution status of EMUs across the network is determined based on GPS positioning data, and the maintenance resource constraints of the entire network are determined based on mileage data.

[0025] Convert the original model into an aggregate model.

[0026] As a further aspect of the present invention, the objective function of the aggregation model is based on actual operating cost data, including vehicle usage costs, operating costs, and maintenance costs.

[0027] As a further aspect of the present invention, the constraints of the aggregation model are based on actual train schedule data and EMU status data, including train schedule constraints, station capacity constraints, and flow balance constraints.

[0028] As a further aspect of the present invention, the solution model combines the aggregation results with the acquired actual state data to generate a specific real-name route plan, including:

[0029] Based on the aggregation results and actual status data, the aggregation results are matched with specific EMU train sets through a data matching algorithm to determine the available operating range of each EMU train set.

[0030] Based on the aggregation results and actual status data, a specific operating path is generated for each EMU (Electric Multiple Unit).

[0031] A path optimization algorithm is used to determine the optimal starting position by combining the current location information with the cumulative mileage data to ensure that the maintenance limit is not exceeded.

[0032] Generate a real-name route plan that includes specific train set numbers, running times, and running routes.

[0033] In a first aspect, in one embodiment of the present invention, an optimization system for rapidly solving EMU (Electric Multiple Unit) route plans is provided, the system comprising:

[0034] The data acquisition unit is used to acquire real-time status data of the EMU (Electric Multiple Unit).

[0035] The spatiotemporal axis network construction unit is used to construct the spatiotemporal axis network of the EMU route plan based on the real-time status data of the EMU.

[0036] The original model building unit is used to establish an original model of the EMU route plan based on the actual state data and spatiotemporal axis network of the EMU. The actual state data includes real-time state data and maintenance state data of the EMU.

[0037] The aggregation optimization model construction unit is used to build an aggregation optimization model based on the real-time status data of the EMU and the original EMU route plan model. The aggregation optimization model is based on the real-time status data of the EMU to obtain the solution results.

[0038] The de-aggregation solution model construction unit is used to construct a de-aggregation solution model based on the solution results of the aggregation model. The de-aggregation solution model combines the aggregation results with the acquired actual state data to generate a specific real-name route plan.

[0039] The technical solution provided by this invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0040] (1) This invention employs a two-stage optimization method that combines the construction of an aggregation optimization model with a deaggregation solution model, decomposing the originally complex EMU route planning problem into two levels for solution. In the aggregation stage, the flow of the entire network arc segment is quickly determined; in the deaggregation stage, a refined route is generated one by one based on this. This method effectively avoids the problem of excessively long solution time caused by combinatorial explosion in traditional methods, greatly improves the solution speed, and can adapt to large-scale, high-density railway timetable scenarios.

[0041] (2) Under the premise of ensuring the scientificity and rationality of the EMU route plan, this invention uses an aggregation model to initially allocate global resources, and then uses a deaggregation model to carry out fine-tuning of the routes. This approach avoids the problem of heuristic algorithms getting trapped in local optima, and also makes up for the shortcomings of the precise model in quickly solving large-scale problems, thus achieving an effective balance between solution efficiency and solution quality.

[0042] (3) In the spatiotemporal axis network construction stage of the present invention, the actual position and mileage status of the EMU are fully considered, and personalized route planning based on the actual status of the EMU is realized, avoiding practical problems such as EMU position mismatch and mileage exceeding limit, and improving the practicality and operability of the route plan.

[0043] (4) The optimization method provided by the present invention has high computational efficiency and strong adaptability, and can provide timely and reliable decision support for the operation and management of EMU vehicles, daily scheduling and adjustment and resource allocation. It helps to improve the flexibility of high-speed railway operation organization and the ability to respond to emergencies, and has broad engineering application value.

[0065] S20. Based on real-time status data of EMU trains, construct a spatiotemporal axis network for EMU train route planning.

[0066] like Figure 2 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, step S20, constructing a spatiotemporal axis network for EMU route planning based on real-time EMU status data, includes:

[0067] Based on the train timetable, EMU information, station information, and acquired EMU actual status data, a spatiotemporal axis network is established through the network construction module of the ground data processing center, denoted as... .

[0068] In an embodiment of the present invention, the step of establishing a spatiotemporal axis network through the network construction module of the ground data processing center based on the train timetable, EMU information, station information, and acquired actual EMU status data includes:

[0069] Based on the actual location information of the EMU, a corresponding initial node is created for each EMU in the spatiotemporal axis network, and the time, space and status attributes of the node are set; the EMU depot, station or operating section where the EMU is located is determined by database query, and the corresponding virtual start node and end node are established.

[0070] Specifically, the location data from the vehicle-mounted GPS positioning device can be received through the ground data processing center, and the GPS coordinates can be matched with the railway network topology using a location matching algorithm to determine the precise location of each EMU at the start of the planning process.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present invention, based on the actual location information of the EMU (Electric Multiple Unit), a corresponding initial node is created for each EMU in the spatiotemporal axis network, and the node's time, space, and state attributes are set; the EMU's depot, station, or operating section is determined through database queries, and corresponding virtual start and end nodes are established, including:

[0072] for middle, All have The three attributes represent time, location, and type, respectively. The point types include source point and station node, explained in detail below:

[0073] Source point: Represents the virtual start and end points of the network, denoted as , ... and Among them, for ; , .

[0074] Station Nodes: For all train services within the consideration scope, a station node is established for both the origin and destination. The origins and destinations of all operating lines form sets. and Due to actual production requirements, high-speed trains only depart from certain specific stations and return to those stations after completing their assigned tasks. These specific stations are called high-speed train depots. To distinguish the high-speed train depot nodes from the station nodes, the set of high-speed train depot nodes is denoted as […]. To ensure that high-speed trains can depart from and return to a depot, the original one-day station nodes have been extended to two days. The train number nodes for the second day are copied from the first day's nodes, with the station's time increased by 1440 minutes. All other attributes remain the same as the first day's nodes. Specifically... It has attributes , respectively, represent the train number, the station to which it belongs, and the time to which it belongs.

[0077] Based on the cumulative mileage data, a maintenance status judgment algorithm is used to compare the cumulative mileage with the maintenance threshold to determine the maintenance status of each EMU. For EMUs that are close to the maintenance mileage, their long-distance operation tasks are restricted when building the network, and the corresponding arc capacity is adjusted. For EMUs that have exceeded the maintenance mileage, they are excluded from the set of available EMUs and no network nodes are created for them. And according to the preset maintenance plan, the available operating range and time window are set for each EMU.

[0078] In an embodiment of the present invention, the maintenance status of each train set is determined by comparing the cumulative mileage with a maintenance threshold based on the cumulative mileage data using a maintenance status judgment algorithm; for train sets approaching their maintenance mileage, their long-distance operation tasks are restricted during network construction, and the corresponding arc capacity is adjusted; for train sets exceeding their maintenance mileage, they are excluded from the set of available train sets, and no network nodes are created for them; and according to a preset maintenance plan, available operating intervals and time windows are set for each train set, including:

[0083] Uncoupling Arc: An arc used for trainset uncoupling operations. Since trainset uncoupling operations are usually only performed at the train depot, to reduce network size, uncoupling arcs are only generated at the train depot node. The establishment method is as follows: For... , If satisfied , And for , All have or Then establish the uncoding arc The arc begins at time The arc terminates at time The starting station of the arc is equal to the ending station of the arc. , =“Decompiled Arc” The maximum number of trains that can stop at a station is denoted by the unwrapped arc set. .

[0087] Finally, the set of all arcs is denoted as .

[0088] Based on the processed EMU status data, the network generation algorithm of the ground data processing center abstracts stations in the train time map into nodes and feasible connections between stations into arcs, constructing an axis network for a preset time period based on the actual status of the EMU, denoted as . Each node in the axis network contains time and space information obtained from the GPS device, and each arc takes into account maintenance constraints obtained from the mileage recording device.

[0089] The preset time period can be two days, three days, or four days.

[0095] The actual status data of the EMUs are read from the database by the ground data processing center, including the GPS location information, cumulative mileage, and maintenance status of each EMU. These actual physical data are used as model parameters, including the vehicle candidate set K (based on the actual available EMUs), the node set N (based on the actual location determined by GPS positioning), and the arc set A (based on the actual operation diagram and time constraints).

[0096] Based on actual location information, initial position constraints are set for each EMU to ensure that the EMU starts executing the route plan from its actual location; maintenance constraints are set based on cumulative mileage data to ensure that the EMU does not exceed the mileage limit before maintenance; and timetable constraints, station capacity constraints, and flow balance constraints are set based on actual timetable data.

[0097] The actual train operation schedule data can be obtained from the train operation schedule at the dispatching and command center. This data can include datasets such as train numbers, stations, arrival and departure times, and train formation requirements, used for network construction and constraint building.

[0165] This invention discloses a rapid optimization method for solving EMU (Electric Multiple Unit) route plans based on EMU positioning and mileage records. By collecting real-time actual status information of EMUs, stations in the train timetable are abstracted as nodes, and feasible connections between stations are abstracted as arcs, constructing a two-day axis network. Based on this, an original model of the EMU route plan considering EMU location and mileage constraints is constructed, and a rapid solution method based on a two-stage aggregation and deaggregation approach is proposed: First, an aggregation optimization model is constructed with the objective of minimizing the total cost on all arcs in the network, determining the flow of each arc segment, i.e., the number of times each arc is used; then, based on the results of the aggregation solution, each route is solved one by one, minimizing the total cost of the selected arcs for that route, thereby obtaining a refined, real-name vehicle route plan. This invention achieves rapid solution of EMU (Electric Multiple Unit) route planning by the collaborative work of an aggregation optimization model and a deaggregation solution model: the aggregation optimization model first determines the flow allocation of each arc segment, and the deaggregation solution model generates a personalized route plan for each EMU based on the aggregation results and the actual status of the EMU, including the specific EMU number, running time, and running path. This route plan can be directly transmitted to the EMU control system for execution, thereby realizing personalized route plan optimization based on the actual status of the EMU. This solves the problem of route plan mismatch caused by the inability of traditional methods to obtain the EMU status in real time, significantly improves the solution speed, and ensures the practicality and operability of the route plan.
