Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of road de-icing, specifically to a road de-icing implementation system and method. Background Technology

[0002] Winter road snow and ice accumulation is a global problem threatening traffic safety and impacting traffic efficiency. Statistics show that the number of traffic accidents caused by icy roads increases by 30%-50% compared to normal weather, and can lead to regional traffic paralysis and significant economic losses. In recent years, with the increasing frequency of extreme weather events, traditional passive de-icing methods have become insufficient to meet the demands of modern transportation networks for efficient, real-time, and sustainable de-icing. Although new technologies such as carbon nanotube heating and conductive concrete are gradually emerging, their high cost, complex construction, and insufficient technological maturity limit their practical application. There is an urgent need to explore innovative de-icing solutions that balance environmental friendliness, economy, and reliability.

[0003] Currently, traditional road de-icing methods can be divided into three categories: the first is mechanical de-icing, which physically removes ice and snow using equipment such as snowplows and de-icing rollers; the second is chemical de-icing, which mainly involves spreading chloride-based de-icing agents (such as sodium chloride and calcium chloride) to accelerate the melting of ice and snow by utilizing the freezing point lowering effect; and the third is thermal de-icing, such as laying electric heating cables, ground source heat pump circulation systems, or electrically heating asphalt roads to raise the road temperature through external energy input.

[0004] Traditional road de-icing methods generally rely on repeated mechanical de-icing and timed spraying of de-icing agents. They lack intelligent control capabilities and cannot dynamically adjust de-icing strategies based on weather conditions and the slippery condition of the road surface, often resulting in energy waste and incomplete de-icing.

By simulating eagle hunting behavior, it achieves a global optimal solution search for spraying parameters, obtaining suitable spraying parameters for ice-melting sections, significantly reducing energy waste and improving the thoroughness of ice melting. Finally, the road ice-melting implementation strategy is adjusted, establishing a snow-melting environment coupling model and alarm mechanism. By integrating dynamic adaptive adjustment and alarm mechanisms, a closed-loop response system of resources, environment, and equipment is constructed, improving the ice-melting response speed and the intelligence level of emergency management under extreme weather conditions, thus completing the road ice-melting implementation.

[0064] S1 includes the following steps:

[0065] S11. Collect meteorological data using multi-element meteorological environmental sensors, including temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed, etc., to obtain a meteorological data set; then monitor road surface conditions, including road slipperiness, road humidity, road water accumulation, etc., to obtain a road surface condition data set; and record the time points for collecting meteorological data and road surface conditions to generate a road icing time series. Combine the road icing time series, the meteorological data set, and the road surface condition data set to form an initial road icing data set. ,in This represents the m-th time point in the road ice melting time series. This represents the meteorological data collected at the m-th time point. This represents the road surface condition collected at the m-th time point;

[0066] S12. Set a sliding window, dynamically and adaptively adjust the sliding window to generate an adaptive window, use a data detection method based on the adaptive window to perform anomaly detection on the initial road icing data set, and delete abnormal data to obtain the processed road icing data set. The specific steps are as follows:

Calculate the mean and variance of the road icing data within the adaptive window, and then calculate the anomaly score for the nth road icing data point. ,in This represents the ice melting data for the nth road. This represents the average value of road ice melt data within the adaptive window. This represents the variance of road icing data within the adaptive window; an anomaly threshold is set, and when the anomaly score of the nth road icing data exceeds the anomaly threshold, the nth road icing data is considered an anomaly.

[0068] S122. Set the current adaptive window size to w, count the number of outliers within the current adaptive window, and then calculate the ratio of the number of outliers to the current adaptive window size to obtain the current outlier ratio; set the target outlier ratio, and then calculate the next adaptive window size. ,in This represents the window adjustment factor, set to 0.1.

Continue to update the adaptive window size until the initial road melting data set has been traversed. Delete all abnormal data to obtain the processed road melting data set.

[0070] S13. When the missing data is the first or wth road icing data in the adaptive window, the mean of the road icing data in the adaptive window is used to fill in the missing data; otherwise, piecewise linear interpolation is used to fill in the missing data, selecting the road icing data before and after the missing data. The missing data filling value is then... ,in This indicates the road icing data prior to the missing data. This indicates road icing data after data loss. This indicates the time point corresponding to the road icing data before the missing data. This indicates the time point corresponding to the missing road icing data. The missing data points are indicated by the time points corresponding to the missing data; the missing data in the processed road icing data set are filled in sequentially to generate a processed road icing data set.

[0071] In this embodiment, an initial road icing data set is obtained by collecting meteorological data and monitoring road surface conditions. An anomaly detection method based on an adaptive window is used to detect anomalies and fill in missing data to obtain a processed road icing data set. This method dynamically adjusts the window size: when the proportion of data anomalies is high, the window is reduced to improve detection sensitivity; when the data is relatively normal, the window is expanded to reduce computational overhead, avoiding the waste of resources caused by frequent adjustments. It achieves a balance between detection accuracy and computational efficiency and is suitable for anomaly cleaning and filling tasks for various meteorological indicators, providing reliable input for subsequent icing prediction. Specifically, for example, the data set can be simplified by recording only time points. Temperature and road slipperiness are considered, {(t1, (5℃, 60%)), (t2, (20℃, 20%)), (t3, (4℃, 65%)}. The window size is set to 3. The abnormal score for t1 is 0, the abnormal score for t2 is 1.16, and the abnormal score for t3 is -1.22. The abnormal threshold is 1.0, the abnormal ratio is 1 / 3, the target abnormal ratio is 10%, and the window adjustment coefficient is 0.1. At this point, the window size is adjusted to 3, and the abnormal data t2 is deleted. Missing data is filled using piecewise linear interpolation. The time interval between the preceding data of t2 is 5 minutes, and the time interval between the following data of t2 is 5 minutes. The filling temperature is 5℃.

The predicted values ​​of road icing data are then marked according to the road icing rules and input into the final support vector machine to determine whether the road is icy. The output 1 indicates that the road is icy and the output 0 indicates that the road is not icy, thus obtaining the road icing result.

[0081] S23. Based on the road icing results, the road is segmented, the road segments corresponding to the icing are found and marked as melting road segments, and the road segments not icing are found and marked as non-melting road segments, thus obtaining a set of segmented melting road segments.

The location of the eagle corresponding to the best fitness function value in the final eagle population is then found, and the optimized spraying parameters are obtained.

[0091] S33. The optimized spraying parameters include the optimized pipeline pressure, de-icing agent concentration, and spraying amount per unit area of ​​the de-icing agent solution spraying equipment. The de-icing sections in the segmented de-icing section set are selected, and the optimized spraying parameters are used to drive the de-icing agent solution spraying equipment to carry out de-icing work, thereby obtaining the road de-icing implementation strategy.

[0092] In this embodiment, ice melting is carried out on segmented roads. An enhanced Hawk optimization algorithm is introduced to optimize the spraying parameters during the ice melting process, generating a road ice melting implementation strategy. This algorithm integrates the hill-climbing algorithm and Harris eagle hunting behavior, solving the problems of easily getting trapped in local optima, slow convergence speed, and poor accuracy compared to traditional algorithms. By simulating the hunting behavior of eagles, the algorithm achieves the search for the globally optimal solution of spraying parameters, obtaining spraying parameters suitable for the ice melting sections. Specifically, for example, the pipeline pressure range is set to [0.5, 2.5] MPa, the de-icing agent concentration range is [20%, 40%], the minimum spraying coverage is 90%, and the Hawk algorithm parameters are initialized as follows: population size 50, dimension 3 (corresponding to 3 optimization parameters), maximum number of iterations is 100, and the objective function weight coefficients are 0.4 (energy consumption) and 0.3 (melting time). 0.3 (Coverage); 50 initial parameter combinations are randomly generated, and a hill-climbing algorithm is used for local search. The position is updated during the high-altitude gliding phase of the Skyhawk, and then the Levy flight is introduced to enhance the global search capability, resulting in jump-type parameter adjustments. The position is updated again through the Harris Eagle hunting mechanism. After 100 iterations, the algorithm converges to obtain the optimal parameter combination, resulting in pipeline pressure: 1.8MPa (20% reduction in energy consumption compared to the initial value), de-icing agent concentration: 30% (the minimum effective concentration to meet antifreeze requirements, reducing costs), and unit area spraying rate: 0.12L / m² (coverage increased to 95%, improving ice melting efficiency). By optimizing the algorithm to search for the global optimal solution of spraying parameters, energy waste is significantly reduced and the thoroughness of ice melting is improved. The optimized parameters are input into the automated spraying control system to achieve intelligent and precise ice melting operations.

[0094] S4 includes the following steps:

[0095] S41. Collect real-time meteorological data, set change threshold and thickness threshold. When the change rate of real-time meteorological data is greater than the change threshold, find the ice melting section corresponding to the real-time meteorological data, measure the ice thickness. When the ice thickness is greater than the ice threshold, adjust the road ice melting strategy and prioritize the ice melting work of the ice melting section corresponding to the real-time meteorological data.

[0096] S42. Monitor the usage of snow-melting agent materials, including snow-melting agent concentration and consumption per unit area, and establish a snow-melting environment coupling model to calculate the remaining amount in the storage tank. Where U represents the initial volume of the storage tank, and k represents the concentration correction factor. This represents the area of ​​the e-th icing segment in the set of segmented icing segments. This represents the unit area consumption of the e-th ice-melting section, and s represents the number of ice-melting sections in the set. Set a reserve threshold. When the reserve in the storage tank is less than the reserve threshold, replenish the de-icing agent solution in time. When the reserve in the storage tank is greater than the rated threshold, trigger the alarm mechanism to complete the road de-icing.

[0097] In this embodiment, the road de-icing strategy is adjusted, a snow melting environment coupling model and alarm mechanism are established, and dynamic adaptive adjustment and alarm mechanisms are integrated to construct a closed-loop response system of resources, environment and equipment. Specifically, for example, the meteorological change threshold is set to 20% / hour, the ice thickness threshold is 5mm, and the system monitors that the temperature in a certain area drops sharply from -2℃ to -8℃ in 1 hour, the total span of the reference temperature range is 10℃, and the change rate is 6℃ / 10℃ = 60% / hour. The corresponding road segment is located: Highway K12-K15 (the road segment areas are 800m², 1000m² and 120m² respectively, and the unit consumption is... The concentrations were 0.15 L / m², 0.18 L / m², and 0.20 L / m², respectively. The ice thickness was measured to be 6.2 mm (exceeding the 5 mm threshold). The system automatically upgraded this road section to a higher priority. The concentration correction coefficient k=1.1 (due to the low temperature, the concentration needs to be increased based on standard 1). The initial storage volume was 5000 L. The calculated remaining volume of the storage tank was 440 L (less than the remaining volume threshold of 500 L). The de-icing agent material was replenished in time. After replenishment, the remaining de-icing agent volume was 4000 L, which was higher than the rated threshold of 2000 L. This improved the de-icing response speed and the level of intelligence in emergency management under extreme weather conditions, and completed the road de-icing implementation.
