Soil moisture testing often relies on local sampling, which fails to provide a comprehensive picture of the moisture distribution across the entire roadbed area. Topographic data collection is also limited to single-point measurements using equipment such as total stations, resulting in delayed data updates and difficulty reflecting real-time changes during construction.

[0019] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Step 102: Using an attention mechanism to dynamically weight the contribution of different sensor data in the real-time roadbed status data to obtain cross-modal roadbed data; Specifically, in this embodiment, for each header in the roadbed real-time status data, the similarity between the Query and the Key is calculated, and the matrix is calculated using the dot product similarity formula to obtain a similarity matrix; Perform Softmax normalization on the similarity matrix to obtain the attention weight matrix, with the weight value range between 0 and 1; The Value matrix is weighted and summed according to the attention weight to obtain the cross-modal feature vector of each spatiotemporal grid point.

[0022] Step 103: Establish a Transformer-GNN hybrid model, input the cross-modal roadbed data into the Transformer-GNN hybrid model, and generate a geological stability heat map; Specifically, in this embodiment, a Transformer-GNN hybrid model is established, and the cross-modal roadbed data is input into the Transformer-GNN hybrid model; The Transformer encoder is used to segment the cross-modal roadbed data into time series, position-encode the data at each time step, and incorporate time information into the model.

The node attributes include the type, location, and working status of the equipment. The GCN graph convolutional network is used to perform graph convolution operations to obtain the equipment node features.

[0023] The temporal features output by the Transformer encoder and the device node features output by the GNN are fused and mapped through a fully connected neural network to obtain geological stability assessment indicators, including at least soil bearing capacity, settlement risk and sliding possibility.

[0024] Step 104: Based on the geological stability heat map, the population is initialized using the MOEA / D multi-objective evolutionary algorithm, a local search is performed using the GWO grey wolf optimization algorithm, a dynamically adjusted convergence factor is set, and a roadbed excavation and filling scheduling plan is obtained.

[0028] See also Figure 3 In an artificial intelligence-assisted intelligent scheduling system for roadbed excavation and filling operations, the intelligent scheduling system for roadbed excavation and filling operations includes the following modules: The roadbed data acquisition module is used to collect soil moisture distribution data using a multispectral imager and obtain laser point cloud data using a laser sensor. The moisture distribution data and laser point cloud data are then fused to generate a high-dimensional geological feature tensor to obtain real-time roadbed status data. The contribution calculation module is used to dynamically weight the contribution of different sensor data in the real-time roadbed status data using the attention mechanism to obtain cross-modal roadbed data; The stability prediction module is used to establish a Transformer-GNN hybrid model, input cross-modal roadbed data into the Transformer-GNN hybrid model, and generate a geological stability heat map; The scheduling scheme generation module is used to initialize the population based on the geological stability heat map using the MOEA / D multi-objective evolutionary algorithm, perform local search using the GWO grey wolf optimization algorithm, set a dynamically adjusted convergence factor, and obtain the roadbed excavation and filling scheduling scheme.

[0029] Specifically, this embodiment can also be implemented in the following ways:

[0030] (1) Multispectral imager data acquisition Moisture distribution data extraction: Spectral inversion algorithms, such as partial least squares (PLS) or neural network algorithms, are used to process image data from each band. First, a calibration model is established between soil moisture and spectral reflectance. Soil samples with varying moisture contents are collected within the construction area, and their spectral data and actual moisture contents are obtained. This is then used to train a high-precision inversion model. Image data collected by the multispectral imager is then fed into the inversion model, which calculates the soil moisture content for each pixel. This generates moisture distribution data for the entire roadbed area, with a resolution of 0.5-1 meter.

[0031] (2) Laser sensor data acquisition Point cloud data acquisition: The laser sensor emits laser pulses and measures the time difference (TOF) or phase difference between emission and reception to calculate the distance from the target object to the sensor. Simultaneously, the sensor's scanning angle and rotation speed are combined to obtain the three-dimensional coordinates (X, Y, Z) of the target object's surface, generating laser point cloud data. The scanning frequency is adjusted based on the operating speed and accuracy requirements of the construction equipment, generally ranging from 50-200Hz, to ensure that the point cloud data reflects real-time topographic changes on the roadbed surface.

[0032] (3) Data fusion to generate high-dimensional geological characteristic tensor data Spatiotemporal registration: First, the moisture distribution data acquired by the multispectral imager and the point cloud data acquired by the laser sensor are converted to a unified global coordinate system. For sensors on drones and construction equipment, the Global Positioning System (GPS) and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) are used to obtain their position and attitude information for coordinate conversion and attitude correction. For fixed sensors, their position and orientation in the global coordinate system are determined through manual measurement or equipment such as total stations.

[0033] Feature extraction: Extract moisture-related features from moisture distribution data, such as mean, variance, and gradient, to reflect the spatial distribution and changing trends of soil moisture. Extract terrain features from point cloud data, such as elevation, slope, aspect, and curvature, as well as geomorphic features such as surface roughness, height of protrusions, and depth of depressions. Furthermore, point cloud intensity features can be extracted to reflect differences in surface materials.

[0034] Tensor fusion: The extracted moisture content and point cloud features are dimensionally expanded to form multidimensional feature vectors. These feature vectors are then fused into high-dimensional geological feature tensor data using a tensor product operation. The tensor dimensions include spatial dimensions (X, Y), feature dimensions (such as moisture content, elevation, and slope), and temporal dimensions (different acquisition times). This constructs a real-time roadbed status data tensor containing spatiotemporal information and multi-source features. The dimensions are N × M × K × T, where N and M are the number of spatial grid cells, K is the number of features, and T is the length of the time series.

[0035] (1) Construction of attention mechanism model A multi-head self-attention model is employed. Its structure consists of three input matrices: query, key, and value. High-dimensional geological feature tensor data is first flattened into a two-dimensional matrix of (N×M×T)×K dimensions, where N×M×T is the number of spatiotemporal grids and K is the number of features. The input matrix is then mapped to the query, key, and value matrices through linear transformations. The dimensions of each matrix are K×d_k, where d_k is the dimension of each head, typically set to 64 or 128.

[0036] (2) Dynamic weighted calculation of contribution Similarity Calculation: For each header, calculate the similarity between the query and the key using the dot product similarity formula: Similarity = (Query・Key^T) / sqrt(d_k). The similarity matrix has dimensions (N×M×T)×(N×M×T), where each element represents the degree of correlation between two spatiotemporal grid points.

[0037] Attention weight generation: Softmax normalization is performed on the similarity matrix to generate an attention weight matrix. The weight values range from 0 to 1, indicating the contribution of each spatiotemporal grid point to the current grid point. For multimodal data, namely moisture content features and point cloud features, attention weights are calculated separately and then fused through weighted averaging or concatenation to obtain cross-modal attention weights.

[0038] Cross-modal data generation: The Value matrix is weighted and summed according to the attention weights to obtain a cross-modal feature vector for each spatiotemporal grid point. The outputs of all heads are concatenated and restored to their original feature dimensions through a linear transformation to generate the final cross-modal roadbed data. This data dynamically integrates important information from different sensor data, highlighting features that have a significant impact on the current roadbed state.

[0039] (1) Model architecture design The Transformer-GNN hybrid model consists of two parts: a Transformer encoder and a graph neural network (GNN). The Transformer encoder processes time series data to capture how roadbed conditions change over time; the GNN models the spatial topological relationships between construction equipment and analyzes their interactions.

[0040] (2) Transformer encoder processes time series data Input processing: The cross-modal roadbed data is segmented into time series. The input data dimensions for each time step are N×M×K, where N×M is the number of spatial grids and K is the number of features. The data for each time step is position-encoded to incorporate temporal information into the model. Position encoding is generated using sine and cosine functions. The formula is: PosEncoding(pos,2i)=sin(pos / 10000^(2i / K)),PosEncoding(pos,2i+1)=cos(pos / 10000^(2i / K)), where pos is the time step position and i is the feature dimension index.

[0041] Encoding Process: The Transformer encoder consists of multiple encoding layers, each of which incorporates a multi-head self-attention mechanism and a feedforward neural network (FFN), employing residual connections and layer normalization. In the multi-head self-attention layer, self-attention calculations are performed on cross-modal data at each time step, capturing dependencies between different time steps. The FFN layer performs nonlinear transformations on the attention output to further extract temporal features. Through multi-layer encoding, a high-level feature representation that incorporates temporal information is obtained.

[0042] (3) GNN modeling of the spatial topological relationship of construction equipment Graph Construction: Construction equipment is treated as nodes in a graph. Node attributes include equipment type, location, and operating status (load, speed, fuel consumption, etc.). When the spatial distance between equipment falls below a set threshold (50 meters), an edge connection is established. Edge attributes include distance, communication latency, etc. The graph structure is dynamically updated as equipment moves and its operating status changes.

[0043] Graph convolution operations: Graph convolution networks (GCNs) or graph attention networks (GATs) are used for graph convolution operations. Taking GATs as an example, each node calculates attention weights with its neighbors, aggregates information from neighboring nodes, and updates its own node features. The attention weight calculation considers both node and edge attributes, using the formula: α_ij = Softmax(LeakyReLU(a^T[Wh_i||Wh_j])), where a is the attention parameter, W is the weight matrix, and h_i and h_j are the feature vectors of nodes i and j. Through multi-layer graph convolution, the spatial topological relationships and collaborative operation patterns between devices are captured.

[0044] (IV) Generating a geological stability thermodynamic map The time series features output by the Transformer encoder are fused with the device features output by the GNN and mapped to geological stability assessment indicators such as soil bearing capacity, settlement risk, and slip potential through a fully connected neural network. The stability indicators for each spatial grid point are normalized and converted to grayscale or color values ranging from 0 to 255 to generate a geological stability heat map. The heat map uses different color codes to indicate stability levels, such as red for high-risk areas, yellow for medium-risk areas, and green for low-risk areas. With a resolution of 1×1 meter, it clearly displays the stability status of each area of the roadbed.

[0045] (1) Initialization of population using MOEA / D multi-objective evolutionary algorithm Objective function definition: A multi-objective optimization model is established with the following objectives: maximizing cut-and-fill efficiency (shortest completion time, highest equipment utilization), minimizing costs (fuel consumption, equipment wear, labor costs, etc.), and optimizing quality (roadbed flatness and compaction meet standards). The specific objective function is as follows: Efficiency target: f1=-1 / T, where T is the time required to complete the cut-and-fill operation; Cost target: f2 = Σ(C_fuel + C_wear + C_labor); Quality target: f3=Σ(1-|s_i-s_0| / s_max), where s_i is the actual flatness or compaction degree of the i-th grid point, s_0 is the standard value, and s_max is the maximum allowable deviation.

[0046] Population initialization: The roadbed excavation and fill scheduling plan is represented as a chromosome. The chromosome encodes the allocation of construction equipment (the number and model of excavators, loaders, and bulldozers), operation path planning (the route and operation sequence of each piece of equipment), and the allocation of excavation and fill volume (the amount of fill or cut at each grid point). The population is initialized using a random generation method, and the population size is typically set to 50-100 individuals to ensure diversity.

[0047] (2) GWO Improved Grey Wolf Optimization Algorithm Local Search Improvements to the basic GWO algorithm: Adaptive inertia weights and dynamic learning factors are introduced to the traditional Grey Wolf Optimization algorithm to enhance the algorithm's local search capabilities and convergence speed. The inertia weight w decreases linearly with the number of iterations, using the formula: w = w_max - (w_max - w_min) * t / T_max, where w_max = 0.9, w_min = 0.4, t is the current iteration number, and T_max is the maximum number of iterations. Dynamic learning factors c1 and c2 are adjusted using nonlinear functions to enhance the algorithm's search capabilities at different iteration stages.

[0048] Local search strategy: Based on the population individuals initialized by MOEA / D, a neighborhood search is performed for each individual. Neighborhood operations include equipment reallocation, work path adjustment, and fine-tuning of cut-fill volume. Each operation generates a certain number of neighborhood individuals (5-10). The objective function value of each neighborhood individual is calculated, and the optimal individual is selected to replace the original individual to achieve local optimization.

[0049] (3) Dynamically adjust the convergence factor The convergence factor a controls the search range in the GWO algorithm. It is initially set to 2 and decreases linearly to 0 with the number of iterations. The formula is: a = 2 - 2 * t / T_max. By dynamically adjusting the convergence factor, the algorithm has a strong global search capability in the early stages, while focusing on local, refined search in the later stages, improving solution quality and convergence speed. After multiple rounds of iterations (typically 100-200), a Pareto-optimal solution set is obtained, from which the solution with the best overall performance is selected as the roadbed excavation and filling scheduling plan.

[0050] (1) Implementation of intelligent scheduling for cut-and-fill operations Plan Communication: The generated roadbed excavation and fill scheduling plan is transmitted via wireless communication to the onboard terminal of the construction equipment. The terminal displays the equipment's work tasks, route planning, and required excavation and fill volumes. Simultaneously, the scheduling plan and equipment operating status are displayed in real time on a large screen at the construction site's monitoring center, facilitating overall monitoring and coordination for management personnel.

[0051] Equipment Collaboration: Construction equipment automatically adjusts operating parameters based on the scheduling plan, such as excavator digging depth, loader loading capacity, and bulldozer speed. Equipment exchanges information in real time via wireless communication networks, enabling collaborative operations. For example, an excavator can directly load excavated soil onto a designated loader, which then transports it to the fill area, where it is leveled by a bulldozer, improving operational efficiency.

[0052] (2) Real-time feedback result collection Sensor Data Collection: Various sensors, such as inclination sensors, pressure sensors, and position sensors, are installed on construction equipment to collect real-time operating parameters (excavation depth, load capacity, and travel speed) and the real-time status of the roadbed (flatness and compaction of the excavated and filled areas). Furthermore, drones or fixed monitoring equipment are used to collect moisture distribution data and point cloud data of the roadbed, which are then compared with pre-construction data to evaluate operational effectiveness.

[0053] Feedback Information Processing: Collected real-time data is transmitted to the central control system for data cleaning and preprocessing to remove noise and outliers. Data analysis and model prediction are then used to evaluate the effectiveness of the current scheduling plan and identify existing problems, such as deviations in fill and cut volume, low operational efficiency, and substandard quality.

[0054] (3) Generate target roadbed excavation and filling scheduling plan Plan Adjustment Strategy: Based on real-time feedback, a feedback control algorithm is used to adjust the original scheduling plan. If the fill-cut deviation exceeds the allowable range (±5%), the fill-cut volume for each grid point is recalculated and the equipment's work task allocation is adjusted. If work efficiency is low, the equipment's operation path and coordination mechanism are optimized. If quality does not meet standards, construction process parameters such as the number of compaction times and speed of compaction machinery are adjusted.

[0055] Iterative Optimization: The adjusted scheduling plan is used as the new input, re-entering the data collection, model processing, and optimization algorithm process to form a closed-loop control. Through multiple iterative optimizations, the accuracy and effectiveness of the scheduling plan are continuously improved, ultimately generating a target roadbed excavation and filling scheduling plan that meets construction requirements, ensuring the efficient and high-quality completion of the roadbed excavation and filling operations.
