Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of traffic operation evaluation, and particularly relates to a road section delay loss estimation method based on waterlogging depth and traffic flow probability density. BACKGROUND
[0002] In recent years, waterlogging secondary disasters caused by extreme rainfall have become increasingly serious, not only causing serious damage to urban infrastructure, but also directly threatening the normal operation of the transportation system and affecting the travel efficiency and safety of vehicles and pedestrians. Road waterlogging can directly cause a significant reduction in vehicle travel speed and efficiency, thus extending the travel time of vehicles on waterlogged road sections and exacerbating traffic delays and congestion, which not only affects the daily life of citizens, but also affects business logistics, and ultimately leads to the disruption of urban economic operations.
[0003] In actual situations, it is difficult to accurately estimate the impact of waterlogging on road traffic. First, due to factors such as rainfall, topographic features, and drainage facilities, the waterlogging condition of the road is uncertain, and the actual waterlogging depth and range are difficult to accurately predict. Second, due to weather forecasts, traffic control measures, and traffic guidance schemes, travel demand and travel modes often exhibit uncertainty characteristics, and road traffic flow changes cannot be fully grasped, making it difficult to accurately estimate. In addition, the number of passengers of various types of vehicles also changes within a certain range, subject to some distribution rules. Therefore, using a fixed value calculation method to estimate the road traffic delay loss caused by waterlogging has weak applicability.
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to establish a waterlogging depth probability density function and a traffic flow probability density function for evaluating road sections based on historical records of forecasted rainfall of the same amount. Combined with a road waterlogging depth and distance relationship model, the average travel time of vehicles on waterlogged road sections is calculated. Considering the flow size of different types of vehicles and their passenger number probability distribution function, the total amount of road traffic delay loss is estimated. Through the study of road traffic operation state and service level evaluation technology under waterlogging conditions, important reference basis can be provided for analyzing and managing urban traffic congestion under the influence of waterlogging.
