[0045] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] The present invention provides an airport surface operation efficiency optimization system based on intelligent technology. The system consists of multiple functional modules and can collect data in real time, predict taxiway congestion, optimize aircraft taxiing paths and scheduling, and make global intelligent decisions, thereby improving the overall operation efficiency of the airport.

[0047] 1. Taxiway data collection and prediction module: This module is responsible for real-time collection of taxiway usage data and historical data, including taxiway congestion status, aircraft taxiing speed, taxiway occupancy time and other information.

The data of this module is used as input to the path planning and scheduling optimization algorithm to optimize the taxiing path and scheduling sequence of the aircraft. This module relies on the positioning system installed in various parts of the airport and the aircraft's own navigation data to obtain the physical status and scheduling information of the aircraft in real time. These data will be integrated and passed to the system's path optimization module to ensure that the aircraft can taxi along the optimal path and minimize waiting time.

[0049] 3. Taxiway resource real-time monitoring module: The taxiway resource real-time monitoring module is used to monitor the current occupancy of the taxiway in real time to ensure that the system has the latest usage status of the taxiway. This module also compares the real-time data of the taxiway with the predicted data Y t Compare to confirm the accuracy of the prediction and dynamically adjust the path planning based on the latest monitoring data.

[0051] 5. Global evidence data collection and processing module: This module is used to collect other data related to the global operation of the airport, such as weather conditions, aircraft fuel status, and the overall use of taxiway and runway resources. These data will serve as input for global intelligent decision-making and optimization algorithms to help the system make more accurate decision analysis. Through sensors and external data sources, this module collects external factors related to airport operations (such as weather, fuel conditions, etc.). These data will affect the aircraft's taxi path and scheduling priority. The system will comprehensively consider these global factors and make more accurate scheduling decisions.

[0052] 6. Global decision-making and feedback module: This module is based on global intelligent decision-making and optimization algorithms, combined with taxiway congestion prediction results Y t , Path optimization result Z t and global evidence E, to globally optimize airport surface operations. The global decision plan generated by the system can adjust the allocation of taxiway resources, the scheduling order and priority of aircraft, thereby ensuring the overall efficiency and safety of airport surface operations.

[0077] The airport taxiway dynamic congestion prediction algorithm of the present invention is mainly used to predict the taxiway congestion in the future. The algorithm can identify possible congestion points in advance through the analysis of historical data and current real-time data, thereby providing important decision-making basis for subsequent path planning and scheduling optimization. Its prediction model is based on the idea of ​​time series analysis, combining the characteristics of the autoregressive model (AR) and the moving average model (MA), and can effectively capture the time variation trend of taxiway usage.

[0078] Congestion prediction formula

[0079] The prediction formula is as follows: In this formula: Y t It represents the prediction result of taxiway congestion at time t, that is, the taxiway congestion in a certain time period in the future;

[0080] c: is a constant term, representing the intercept in the model, which usually reflects the baseline level of taxiway resource utilization, for example, the average occupancy rate of the taxiway or the baseline taxiing time of aircraft when other factors are not considered.

[0081] φ i : is the autoregressive coefficient, which is used to indicate the impact of taxiway congestion in the past on the current time; coefficient φ i The larger the value, the greater the impact of past congestion on the current situation. The coefficients are obtained through the autoregressive model (AR model) in time series analysis, which fits the time dependence of taxiway congestion based on historical data.

[0082] θ i : is the moving average coefficient, which is used to represent the impact of past forecast errors on the current moment. The moving average model can smooth past forecast errors to improve the accuracy of the model. The coefficient is calculated by the moving average model (MA model) in the time series, which solves the problem of random errors in the forecast.

[0083] ε t : is the prediction error at time t, that is, the prediction deviation caused by unobservable factors, such as sudden emergencies, weather changes, and other data that are not in the model.

[0084] Data collection: The system obtains the current taxiing speed, occupancy time and other data from the real-time monitoring equipment of the taxiway, and combines it with historical data to provide input for the congestion prediction algorithm. The integrity and accuracy of the data directly affect the prediction results, so during the data collection process, the system will clean and denoise the data.

[0085] Prediction model construction: The algorithm uses autoregression and moving average models, combined with historical congestion and prediction errors, to build a time series model. The autoregression part (AR) captures the time dependence of taxiway congestion, and the moving average part (MA) processes past prediction errors to improve the accuracy of the overall prediction.

[0086] Congestion prediction result generation: After the model is established, the system calculates the taxiway congestion in the future in real time by inputting current and historical data. t It provides the system with early warning of airport taxiway resource allocation and provides key data support for subsequent path planning and scheduling optimization.

[0087] Feedback and correction: The system will give the prediction result Y t Real-time comparison is performed to verify the consistency between the prediction results and the actual taxiway occupancy. If the prediction is found to be inconsistent with the actual situation, the system will automatically adjust and correct the model based on the new data to ensure the reliability of the prediction results.

[0088] The aircraft path planning and scheduling optimization algorithm of the present invention is a Q-Learning algorithm based on reinforcement learning. The algorithm can generate the optimal taxiing path and scheduling plan for the aircraft at each moment according to the current state of the aircraft and the taxiway congestion prediction results.

[0089] Q value update formula: Where Q(s t ,a t ,Y t ): indicates that in state s t Next, select action a t The update of Q value is based on the reinforcement learning algorithm, which optimizes the taxiing path of the aircraft by repeatedly adjusting the path selection.

[0090] α: represents the learning rate, which controls the update speed of the Q value. A larger learning rate will make the system adapt to new situations quickly. Its value is between [0,1]. A higher learning rate means that the system is more sensitive to new information, while a lower learning rate means that the system is more conservative. The learning rate is usually adjusted to a suitable value through experiments.

[0091] r t : is a reward value that reflects the quality of the path selection; it is usually calculated based on factors such as taxiway congestion and aircraft taxiing time. A positive reward value indicates a good path selection, while a negative reward value indicates a poor path selection (e.g. congestion).

[0092] γ: Discount factor, which indicates the impact of future rewards; usually between [0,1]. A larger discount factor means that the system pays more attention to long-term benefits, while a smaller discount factor means that the system pays more attention to current benefits.

[0093] Indicates that in the next state S t+1 Based on the maximum Q value obtained, the system will evaluate the possible options at the next moment and choose the path and action that can bring the greatest reward. By continuously updating the Q value, the system gradually learns and optimizes the aircraft's taxiing path, allowing the aircraft to taxi efficiently and take off and land on time even in congested conditions.

[0094] The system calculates the optimal taxiing path and scheduling plan Z through reinforcement learning t , the final path selection is based on the action selection that maximizes the Q value, that is:

[0095] The optimal path generation formula is: in:

[0096] Z t : represents the optimal taxiing path and scheduling plan generated at time t;

[0097] Indicates that in state s t and congestion prediction Y t Next, select the action a that maximizes the Q value t ,The system determines the optimal taxiing path and scheduling strategy through repeated learning.

[0098] The execution steps of the aircraft path planning and scheduling optimization algorithm are:

[0099] S1. Status update: The system first obtains the status s of the aircraft at the current time t t , including the physical location of the aircraft and the congestion prediction of the taxiway Y t and queue status. By collecting these data, the system provides basic information for subsequent path planning.

[0100] S2, action selection: through reinforcement learning algorithm, according to the state s t and taxiway congestion prediction Y t , select the current optimal action a t , which is the taxi path the aircraft should take; the system evaluates the Q value of each feasible path and selects the path that can bring the greatest reward.

[0101] S3, reward calculation: after taking action a t Then, according to the actual congestion of the taxiway and the taxiing time, the corresponding reward r is calculated. t, which is used to give feedback on the effect of aircraft taxiing path selection; the higher the reward value, the more optimized the current path selection is.

[0102] S4. Q value update: based on reward r t and the state S at the next time t+1 t+1 , update the Q value to continuously optimize the path selection;

[0103] S5. Optimal path generation: Through reinforcement learning, the optimal taxiing path and scheduling plan Z are finally obtained. t , ensuring that aircraft can taxi efficiently and take off and land on time even in congested conditions.

[0104] The airport global intelligent decision-making and optimization algorithm is based on the Bayesian decision network, combined with the taxiway congestion prediction result Y t , optimal taxiing path and scheduling plan Z t And global evidence E, generate the optimal decision for global operation, the specific formula is as follows:

[0105] Where: P(X|Y t ,Z t ,E): Given the taxiway congestion prediction result Y t , optimal taxiing path and scheduling plan Z t , the probability of the airport's global operating state X occurring under the condition of global evidence E, that is, the probability of the global optimization decision; P(Y t ,Z t ,E|X): Taxiway congestion prediction result Y under a specific global decision X t , optimal taxiing path and scheduling plan Z t The joint probability of the global evidence E and other global evidence E; this value indicates the degree of match between the predicted taxiway condition and the actual situation when the system makes a decision. P(X): The prior probability of the global operating state X; this value is usually set based on historical data and experience. t ,Z t ,E): The joint probability of taxiway congestion prediction, path optimization results and global evidence is used as a normalization constant to ensure the validity of the probability distribution of the Bayesian formula.

[0106] Data input and processing: The system first collects the taxiway congestion prediction results Y t , optimal taxiing path and scheduling plan Z t and global evidence E, these data will serve as input for global decision analysis, helping the system to comprehensively evaluate the operation of the airport surface.

[0107] Global state evaluation: Through the Bayesian network, the system can calculate the probability of the global airport operation state X based on the current input data. The state X includes a comprehensive evaluation of factors such as taxiway resource allocation, aircraft scheduling priority, taxi time, etc.

[0108] Optimal decision generation: P(X|Y t ,Z t ,E), the system can generate the optimal global operation decision X. This means that the system not only considers the current taxiway conditions and aircraft scheduling, but also comprehensively adjusts the allocation and scheduling priorities of airport resources according to external factors (such as weather) to ensure the efficiency and safety of the overall operation. Feedback and optimization: The system will continuously monitor the taxiway usage and aircraft scheduling results in actual operation, and feed this data back to the Bayesian decision network to update the model parameters. If the predicted results do not match the actual results, the system will automatically correct the decision strategy to ensure that future optimization results are more accurate.

[0109] Example 1: Taxiway resource optimization and aircraft scheduling during airport peak hours

[0110] Airport peak hours are critical moments for airport surface operations, and problems such as taxiway resource shortages and extended aircraft waiting times usually occur. Traditional airport taxiway scheduling methods are unable to dynamically adjust taxiway paths based on real-time data, resulting in unreasonable allocation of taxiway resources, frequent congestion, and low aircraft scheduling efficiency. To this end, the present invention provides an airport surface operation efficiency optimization system based on intelligent technology, which uses taxiway congestion prediction and global intelligent scheduling algorithms to alleviate these problems.

[0111] The technical purpose of this embodiment is to improve the efficiency of taxiway resource utilization, optimize aircraft scheduling strategies, reduce the occurrence of congestion, and shorten aircraft taxiing time under airport peak conditions by applying the system of the present invention, thereby improving the overall operating efficiency of the airport.

[0112] The present invention uses a taxiway congestion prediction algorithm based on time series and a path planning algorithm based on reinforcement learning. By combining real-time data with historical data, the taxiing path and scheduling priority of the aircraft are dynamically adjusted. Compared with the existing static scheduling method, the present invention can automatically adjust the taxiing plan according to the congestion situation, significantly improving the intelligence level of the system.

[0113] This embodiment is particularly suitable for the taxiway resource optimization scenario when aircraft frequently take off and land during airport peak hours. During peak hours, the airport will encounter a surge in the number of aircraft. In this complex environment, the present invention can quickly adjust the scheduling plan to minimize the waiting time of aircraft on the taxiway.

[0114] In order to verify the application effect of the present invention during the peak period of the airport, we designed several comparative experiments. The experimental scenarios include peak period and normal period, and are compared with the traditional static scheduling algorithm (existing technology). The comparison items include: taxi time, aircraft waiting time, taxiway congestion, number of scheduling adjustments, scheduling response time, aircraft take-off and landing punctuality rate, taxiway resource utilization rate, and system resource occupancy rate.

[0115]

[0116] The experimental results show that during the peak hours at the airport, the system of the present invention significantly reduces the taxiing time and waiting time of aircraft, improves the dispatch response speed and the utilization rate of taxiway resources. Compared with the traditional dispatch system, the present invention has obvious advantages in multiple indicators such as congestion and punctuality.

[0117] Example 2: Airport global scheduling optimization under severe weather conditions

[0118] In severe weather conditions, the use of airport taxiways and runways will be seriously affected, and aircraft scheduling becomes more complicated. Traditional scheduling systems are usually unable to respond quickly to changes in the external environment, resulting in long aircraft taxiing time and frequent take-off and landing delays. To this end, the present invention provides a global intelligent scheduling optimization system based on a Bayesian decision network to deal with scheduling problems in severe weather.

[0119] The technical purpose of this embodiment is to introduce a global intelligent scheduling system, combined with real-time monitoring data of the taxiway, weather conditions and other external factors, to dynamically adjust the taxiway resource allocation and aircraft scheduling strategy to reduce delays and improve airport operation efficiency.

[0120] Based on the Bayesian decision network, the present invention can comprehensively evaluate taxiway congestion, aircraft status, and global evidence data (such as weather and runway conditions) under severe weather conditions to generate globally optimized scheduling decisions. Compared with the prior art, the present invention can respond to changes in the external environment in real time and automatically adjust the taxiing plan, thereby maintaining efficient operation of the airport under severe conditions.

[0121] This embodiment is suitable for scenarios where airport operations are significantly affected by weather conditions such as heavy rain and strong winds. Through the global intelligent scheduling system of the present invention, the airport can dynamically adjust the scheduling strategy according to changes in the external environment to minimize delays and congestion caused by weather reasons.

[0122] The experiment compared the performance of the system of the present invention with that of the existing dispatch system under severe weather conditions. The evaluation indicators included: taxi time, number of delays, aircraft take-off and landing time deviation, dispatch response speed, number of dispatch adjustments, aircraft take-off and landing cancellation rate, passenger satisfaction, system scalability, etc.
