[0057] S24. Carry out digital twin geometric modeling with reference to the control point information from the spatial data of the track structure infrastructure.

[0058] In this solution, the process of data acquisition in S23 is as follows: A mobile backpack scanner is used to conduct a full-line push scan, and for preset key areas, a mounted scanner is used for point cloud acquisition. During the data acquisition process, the data quality is monitored in real time, and the scanning strategy is adjusted according to the data quality, so as to obtain the laser point cloud data of the corresponding infrastructure components.

[0059] In this solution, the three-dimensional digital model of the rail transit infrastructure in S2 and the vehicle-road coupling calculation model in S3 are divided into grid cells of the same size, and each grid cell corresponds to a component ID constructed by a coding rule.

The goal of model training is to learn the characteristics of typical disease types and accurately classify whether there are diseases in components. The target loss function of the NNs model is set to Binary Cross-Entropy to establish the intelligent diagnosis ability of rail transit infrastructure diseases. Train and evaluate the disease recognition AI model and deploy it in the intelligent operation and maintenance backend system as the core part of the disease recognition module, which is responsible for analyzing and diagnosing the real-time state of rail transit facilities, identifying possible disease types and their severity.

[0071] This application provides a method for constructing an intelligent operation and maintenance digital twin platform for rail transit infrastructure, including a physical entity layer, a modeling and mapping layer, a data service layer, an analysis service layer, and an application service layer. Among them, the physical entity layer is used to collect physical entity information and sensor real-time data; the modeling and mapping layer is used to model a three-dimensional digital model of rail transit infrastructure to establish a mapping relationship between the digital twin and the physical twin; the data service layer is a disease database, which is established based on the sensor real-time data in the physical entity layer and the dynamic characteristic data in the analysis service layer; the analysis service layer includes a vehicle-road coupling calculation model and a disease damage recognition model. Among them, the vehicle-road coupling calculation model is established from the physical entity information in the physical entity layer. In this model, through the combined simulation of finite element and multi-body dynamics, the dynamic characteristics of the track structure under disease conditions are calculated; the disease damage recognition model reads the sensor real-time data from the data service layer, receives the disease prediction request from the application service layer, and returns the real-time prediction result to the application service layer after recognition; the application service layer is the intelligent operation and maintenance front-end of the rail transit digital twin, which is constructed based on the three-dimensional digital model of rail transit infrastructure in the modeling and mapping layer.

[0072] In this embodiment, the construction process of the system is asFigure 2 As shown below, the specific steps are as follows:

[0073] First, construct the physical entity layer to obtain information such as the information of maintenance personnel, the mechanical material properties of track structure infrastructure, and the physical parameters of operating vehicles within the operation interval of rail transit infrastructure. The information of maintenance personnel includes data such as the number of maintenance personnel and their real-time locations; the mechanical material properties of track structure infrastructure include the construction production dates, densities, elastic moduli, yield strengths, geometric parameters, etc. of infrastructure such as rails, track slabs, subgrades, and bridges; the physical parameters of operating vehicles include parameters such as vehicle self-weight, driving speed, and wheel-rail forces. Deploy vibration acceleration, vibration displacement, and temperature and humidity sensors within the operation interval of rail transit infrastructure to achieve real-time perception of the physical entity state.

[0074] Next, construct the modeling and mapping layer to perform digital twin modeling on rail transit infrastructure. After defining the operation interval of rail transit infrastructure, formulate a data acquisition plan for the point cloud data of the high-precision 3D model of the infrastructure, and use a mobile backpack scanner to conduct a full-line push scan. For key areas with poor track structure conditions, use a mounted scanner to perform high-precision point cloud acquisition. During the data acquisition process, monitor the data quality in real time and adjust the scanning strategy in a timely manner to obtain the high-precision laser point cloud data of the corresponding infrastructure components. Perform preprocessing on the point cloud data using operations such as denoising and filtering. Use the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) technology to integrate the processed point cloud data, and construct a high-precision 3D model of rail transit infrastructure in 3D modeling software. In the 3D modeling software, write a batch processing script to divide the high-precision 3D model of the component into mesh units with the same size and shape as the finite element and multibody dynamics models, and construct a unique ID for each smallest 3D digital model unit according to the unified coding rule, that is, the type area code, the mileage area code, and the component number area.

[0075] Then, construct the data service layer. Adopt the combined finite element and multibody dynamics simulation method to establish a vehicle-road coupling simulation calculation model based on the mechanical material properties of the track structure infrastructure and the physical parameters of the operating vehicle obtained in A1, and calculate the dynamic characteristics of each component of the rail transit infrastructure under various typical disease conditions, including time series data such as vibration acceleration and vibration displacement. Based on the data obtained from the above simulation calculations and the real-time sensor data obtained from the physical entity layer in A1, write a program script to convert the wide-format data into long-format data, and create a typical disease database of rail transit infrastructure in a relational commercial database to complete sub-table storage. In the backend application of the intelligent maintenance system, use the SQLAlchemy library to achieve database interaction, and create a database access layer through the Object Relational Mapping (ORM) technology.

[0076] Rebuild the analysis service layer. By introducing a disease recognition AI model and finite element and multibody dynamics simulation analysis technologies, conduct intelligent diagnosis and prediction of the diseases of rail transit infrastructure. Adopt the finite element and multibody dynamics methods to perform noise reduction and interception, time domain, frequency domain, and time-frequency domain analysis on the data obtained from the simulation calculation in A3, construct typical disease dynamics discrimination indexes, and identify the diseases of components at different positions and in different degrees. Based on the typical disease database of rail transit infrastructure in A3, construct a disease damage recognition AI model based on Neural Networks (NNs) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Read the real-time physical sensor data from the disease database of rail transit infrastructure in A3, accept the disease prediction request from the front end of the intelligent operation and maintenance system, and return the unique ID of the component that may have diseases.

[0077] Finally, build the application service layer and develop a rail transit digital twin intelligent operation and maintenance front-end system integrating multiple functions. The front-end user interface is designed and constructed based on the use of the open-source Cesium.js library. Upload the high-precision 3D model obtained in A2 to the Cesium ion cloud platform to complete the cloud storage of the model data to ensure the efficiency during network transmission and Web rendering. The 3D model includes the track bridge part, track structure, station, and adjacent road models, and is imported into the system according to the real geographical longitude and latitude coordinates of the above infrastructure and completed rendering.

[0078] In this embodiment, basic functions of the user operation interface are added to the application service layer:

[0079] (1) Click and drag with the left mouse button to move and rotate the view window, and slide the scroll wheel to zoom the window. Add a function for quick switching of the model perspective;

[0080] (2) Add a function for real-time output of geographical longitude and latitude coordinates, and display the geographical longitude and latitude coordinates and elevation information of the position pointed by the current mouse cursor in real time;

[0081] (3) Through the weather and temperature / humidity data API interface, add dynamic data information such as real-time weather, temperature, humidity, wind direction, etc. that are updated in real time;

[0082] (4) Add an animation effect. Read the track structure data information in real time or within a certain time period, and perform real-time rendering on the smallest model unit of the track component according to the magnitude of the physical quantity. Use different colors to represent the magnitude of the physical quantity, and restore the changes in vibration acceleration and vibration displacement at each unit of the track component when the train passes by;

[0083] (5) Establish an orbital structure data management and analysis system to query the vibration acceleration and vibration displacement data of orbital component units at any time or with any known name. Click on any unit on the model with the mouse to display the vibration acceleration, vibration displacement data of the measuring points on the orbital components within a certain period of time, and the corresponding time.

[0084] (6) By plotting the time-domain information charts of these physical quantities, compare them with the data collected by on-site sensors.

[0085] In this embodiment, the server is responsible for processing the backend logic and data storage. A lightweight Web framework is used to write the backend service to receive frontend requests, query, manage, and retrieve the physical property and dynamic characteristic data of any measuring point stored in the local database within any time period.

[0086] In this embodiment, when the disease prediction module identifies that an orbital component fails or has a disease, the system automatically issues an early warning, prompts the longitude and latitude information of the possibly failing component, and gives the navigation route for the maintenance personnel carrying the equipment of this system to conduct on-site inspection and fault troubleshooting. The results of the fault troubleshooting can be reported in real time by the maintenance personnel through this system for verification. The system records the information and is used to further improve the accuracy of the fastener damage classification of the NNs model and the SVM model.

[0090] The modeling mapping layer establishes the mapping relationship between the digital twin and the physical twin through high-precision three-dimensional modeling of the physical entity. In this application, the modeling mapping layer includes two modules: modeling method and model matching.

[0091] In this embodiment, the modeling method module is to obtain the dimensions and attributes of the physical entity, using three technical means: oblique photography modeling, terrestrial lidar, and infrastructure design drawings. The first two methods are mainly applied to obtain data during the operation stage of infrastructure, while infrastructure design drawings such as computer-aided design (CAD) drawings help to quickly and low-cost obtain the three-dimensional geometric data of infrastructure during the construction period. As Figure 3 shown, the modeling process includes key technical steps such as the planning of data acquisition routes, the setting of control points, data acquisition and processing, and three-dimensional modeling. For various complex indoor, underground, and signal-free environments of transportation infrastructure, without relying on the traditional Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) for measurement, it automatically identifies its own position and the relative spatial relationship with the exploration object during movement, and uses Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) to construct an incremental map for accurate mapping of the model.

[0092] In this embodiment, the model matching module is used to realize the transmission and interaction of the node calculation results of the finite element and multi-body dynamics calculation models in the analysis service layer with the corresponding high-precision 3D model in the 3D geographic information system. In the modeling software, the high-precision 3D model restored according to the above modeling method is divided into 3D model units of a fixed size, and the grid of the calculation model units of the finite element and dynamics simulation experiment is kept consistent in size. A unique ID is constructed for each smallest 3D model unit to facilitate parsing by humans and computers. For the naming in the scenario of long linear rail transit infrastructure, three areas are designed for compilation: the type area, the mileage area, and the component number area. The identifier in the type area is used to specify the category or type of infrastructure elements. The mileage area is used to represent the specific location of the traffic infrastructure along the line. The identifier in the component number area is assigned to a single component or element in the traffic infrastructure, allowing each part to be accurately identified.

[0093] The data service layer integrates the sensor data collected in real time and the calculation data based on the finite element and multi-body dynamics simulation of vehicle-road coupling to form a rail transit infrastructure disease database.

[0094] In this embodiment, the database design and construction strategy is selected to create different tables for static information and dynamic information. A static information table is constructed to store attributes that do not change frequently, such as the construction year and design life of the track structure. The primary key of the static information table selects the unique ID of the component as the primary key to ensure the uniqueness of each record. The dynamic information table is used to store information that is updated frequently, such as time series data of strain, acceleration, temperature, etc. detected by sensors. A composite primary key is formed using the unique ID of the component and a timestamp such as the detection time. At the same time, a foreign key is set in the dynamic information table, pointing to the primary key of the static information table, that is, the unique ID of the component.

[0095] The analysis service layer introduces a disease identification AI model and finite element and multi-body dynamics simulation technology to perform intelligent diagnosis and prediction of diseases in rail transit infrastructure. It includes two modules: finite element and multi-body dynamics simulation and algorithm model training.

[0096] The dynamics simulation experiment module establishes a simulation calculation model of the rail transit infrastructure and its surrounding environment, sets material properties, boundary conditions, and load conditions according to the actual working conditions. Then, the grid is divided to generate a discrete finite element model to ensure sufficient accuracy. The dynamic response under different operating conditions is simulated. This module combines factors such as vehicle-rail interaction, vibration propagation, and load distribution to accurately simulate the operating states of facilities such as tracks, subgrades, bridges, and tunnels, and then analyzes possible disease types such as fatigue, wear, and cracks. Finally, the dynamic characteristics are output.

[0097] In this embodiment, the training process of the algorithm model training module is as follows: based on the above-mentioned calculation data of vehicle-road coupling finite element and multi-body dynamics, outliers or missing values are removed, and then the data is normalized. Hidden feature learning training is carried out on the phenotypic characteristics of typical disease types and degrees, such as interlayer contact damage and structural cracking damage. After the model training is completed, indicators such as the prediction accuracy, precision, and mean square error of the model are evaluated to confirm the actual application effect of the model.

[0098] The application service layer develops a rail transit digital twin intelligent operation and maintenance system integrating multiple functions. Through a dynamic real-time interactive geographic information system, functions such as disease visualization display, fault warning, and auxiliary decision-making support are integrated.

[0099] The disease visualization display module presents the operation status and disease information of rail transit infrastructure to the operation and maintenance personnel through a graphical interface. Based on the key mechanical performance indicators of the track structure collected in real time by the sensors of the physical entity, this module can display the health status of facilities such as tracks, subgrades, bridges, and tunnels.

[0100] The fault warning module gives an early warning of potential faults in rail transit infrastructure based on the real-time prediction results of the algorithm model training module in the analysis service layer. This module uses real-time data and historical data to predict faults and pushes warning information according to the disease diagnosis results.

[0101] The auxiliary decision-making support module shows the specific locations that need to be inspected on-site, the degree of disease development, and the specific inspection paths to the operation and maintenance personnel based on the disease analysis results of the algorithm model training module in the analysis service layer. This module provides an operable disease inspection plan for the operation and maintenance personnel by calculating and analyzing the real-time mechanical performance indicators of the track structure.

[0102] In this embodiment, this solution is designed based on the browser / server mode to avoid compatibility problems caused by differences in operating systems and devices during the subsequent use of the system. Through the modeling, mapping, and encoding of physical entities, an efficient information interaction mechanism is established between the digital twin and the physical twin. Based on real sensor data and the calculation data of vehicle-road coupling finite element and multi-body dynamics simulation, a disease database of long linear transportation infrastructure is established to provide reliable data support for the construction of the disease recognition AI model. Finally, the development of the front end of the interactive system and the integration of the AI model are completed to establish a digital twin of rail transit infrastructure with application service functions such as visualization, disease recognition, and decision-making support.

[0103] In summary, an integrated intelligent operation and maintenance platform is provided in this solution, which has a user-friendly operation interface and real-time interaction capabilities. Operation and maintenance personnel can intuitively understand the health status and operation and maintenance suggestions of rail transit infrastructure through this platform, greatly simplifying the operation process and improving work efficiency.

Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can easily think of various equivalent modifications or substitutions, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
