TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Traditional carbon emission calculation methods mostly use static and simplified models, which cannot accurately reflect the dynamic characteristics and complexity of the traffic system. These methods often ignore the mutual influence and relevance between the elements of the traffic system, making it difficult to capture the change rules in the actual operation process. In particular, when calculating inter-regional traffic carbon emission, existing methods fail to fully consider the interaction and transmission effect between regions, resulting in a large deviation between the calculation results and the actual situation. These problems seriously restrict the in-depth development and practical application effect of traffic carbon emission research.

[0003] The identification of key carbon emission propagation paths plays an important role in optimizing the urban traffic system. By identifying the key carbon emission propagation paths, the flow rules and diffusion mechanisms of carbon emission in the urban traffic system can be deeply understood, and the spatial distribution characteristics and evolution trend of carbon emission can be accurately grasped. This identification helps to determine the key areas and key propagation channels of carbon emission, and provides a scientific basis for formulating precise emission reduction measures. At the same time, by analyzing the structural characteristics of the carbon emission propagation network, the operation and management strategies of the urban traffic system can be optimized, and the pertinence and effectiveness of the emission reduction measures can be improved.

[0004] However, existing methods for identifying key carbon emission propagation paths still face multiple technical challenges. Traditional identification methods are often too simplified and do not fully consider the interaction and complex relationship between regions, making it difficult to accurately reflect the actual propagation characteristics of carbon emission. In terms of spatio-temporal evolution characteristics analysis, existing methods lack systematicness and comprehensiveness, and cannot effectively capture the dynamic change rules of carbon emission. In addition, in identifying the key influencing factors of carbon emission, existing methods cannot accurately quantify the degree of action of each factor, nor can they effectively evaluate the carbon emission transmission effect between different regions, which affects the accuracy and practicality of the identification results.

[0145] ​Further, after determining the basic emission characteristics, it is necessary to establish the spatial correlation between regions. Spatial distance is the primary factor affecting carbon emission propagation, but the original distance data has a dimension problem, which is not conducive to comprehensive with other indicators. Through standardization processing, the spatial distance can be uniformly mapped to the [0, 1] interval, which not only solves the dimension problem, but also provides a comparable basis for subsequent comprehensive distance calculation. The maximum and minimum value standardization method is selected to standardize the spatial distance, as follows:

[0146]

[0147] wherein, is the standardized spatial distance; is the actual spatial distance from the jth region to the nth region; is the maximum spatial distance between all region pairs; is the minimum spatial distance between all region pairs;

[0148] S3.2. Through standardization processing, the time distance is uniformly mapped to the [0, 1] interval, and the standardized time distance between the jth region and the nth region is obtained .

[0149] Further, in addition to spatial distance, the correlation of time dimension is also an important feature of carbon emission propagation. Time distance reflects the lag effect of emission impact, which is common in urban transportation systems. In order to be comprehensive with spatial distance, the same standardization processing is also needed. This standardization processing makes the time lag effect can be quantitatively included in the propagation path analysis. The same standardization method as spatial distance is adopted to ensure the comparability of the two dimensions. The specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0150]

[0151] wherein, is the standardized time distance; is the actual time distance from the jth region to the nth region; is the maximum time distance between all region pairs; is the minimum time distance between all region pairs;

[0152] S3.3. Integrating the standardized spatial distance and the standardized time distance, the comprehensive space-time distance between the jth region and the nth region is obtained , the expression is:

[0153]

[0154] wherein, is the weight of spatial distance, is the weight of time distance, and obtained by experiments, historical data analysis or expert experience.

[0155] After obtaining the standardized spatial distance and temporal distance, it is necessary to integrate them into a comprehensive index. This integration takes into account the spatio-temporal characteristics of emission propagation, which is more in line with the actual propagation mechanism. Through the adjustment of the weight parameter, the relative importance of spatial and temporal factors can be flexibly controlled, which is of great significance for research of different scales and types.

[0156] S4. Based on the traffic carbon emission intensity and traffic carbon emission change rate obtained in step S2, and the comprehensive spatio-temporal distance index obtained in step S3, establish a regional coupling strength coefficient and a connection influence index, construct a regional coupling strength coefficient considering the attenuation effect of spatio-temporal distance, the difference of emission intensity, and the synergy of change rate, and the connection influence index is used to determine the importance of the path together with the regional coupling strength coefficient;

[0157] Further, the specific implementation method of step S4 includes the following steps:

[0158] S4.1. Construct a regional coupling strength coefficient considering the attenuation effect of spatio-temporal distance, the difference of emission intensity, and the synergy of change rate, and the specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0159]

[0160] wherein, is the regional coupling strength coefficient between the jth region and the nth region at time t, is the emission intensity difference sensitivity parameter, is the change rate influence coefficient, and obtained by experiments, historical data analysis or expert experience; is the maximum value of the traffic carbon emission intensity of all regions; is the traffic carbon emission intensity corresponding to the nth region at time t, is the carbon emission change rate corresponding to the nth region at time t;

[0161] The traditional fixed weight calculation method is difficult to reflect the dynamic characteristics of the correlation between regions. Therefore, a regional coupling strength coefficient calculation method is proposed, which considers three key factors: the attenuation effect of spatio-temporal distance, the difference of emission intensity, and the synergy of change rate. This multi-factor comprehensive calculation method can more accurately depict the actual correlation degree between regions.

[0162] S4.2. Select the shortest path as the basis for calculation, construct the connection influence index by calculating the frequency of edges in all shortest paths, and the specific calculation formula is:

[0163]

[0164] Wherein, is the connection influence index of the intermediate region e; is the total number of shortest paths from the jth region to the nth region; is the number of paths passing through the intermediate region e in the shortest path from the jth region to the nth region.

[0165] The connection influence index is an important indicator for identifying key transmission channels in the network. It reflects the importance of the edge in the whole network by calculating the frequency of the edge in all shortest paths. In the carbon emission propagation network, a higher connection influence index means that the connection plays a key role as a bridge in the inter-regional propagation process. This indicator will be combined with the regional coupling strength coefficient to determine the importance of the path.

[0166] S5. Based on the regional coupling strength coefficient and the connection influence index obtained in step S4, the correlation strength between regions is calculated, including direct correlation strength and indirect correlation strength, and then based on the correlation strength, the path importance score index is constructed to comprehensively evaluate the importance of different propagation paths.

[0167] Further, the specific implementation method of step S5 includes the following steps:

[0168] S5.1. The regional coupling strength coefficient is used to represent the direct correlation strength, and the expression is:

[0169]

[0170] Wherein, is the direct correlation strength;

[0171] The direct correlation strength describes the immediate influence relationship between regions. This correlation is based on actual physical adjacency and is the most basic and direct propagation channel. The present application directly uses the regional coupling strength coefficient to represent the direct correlation strength;

[0172] S5.2. Considering the indirect influence between regions through intermediate nodes and the exponential decay of path length, the indirect correlation strength is constructed, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0173]

[0174] Wherein, is the indirect correlation strength; Summing up all possible intermediate regions e; is the region coupling strength coefficient between the jth region and the intermediate region e at time t; is the region coupling strength coefficient between the intermediate region e and the nth region at time t; is the path attenuation coefficient, obtained by experiments, historical data analysis or expert experience; is the shortest path length between the jth region and the nth region, is the maximum path length in the network;

[0175] In addition to direct association, there is also indirect influence between regions through intermediate nodes. Although the strength of indirect association is usually lower than that of direct association, it plays an important complementary role in the overall network structure, especially in explaining long-distance propagation phenomena. By considering the exponential attenuation of path length, the characteristics of indirect influence weakening with increasing distance can be reasonably described.

[0176] S5.3. Based on the direct association strength and the indirect association strength, construct the path importance score index, expressed as:

[0177]

[0178] wherein, is the path importance score; is the direct association strength weight coefficient, is the indirect association strength weight coefficient, obtained by experiments, historical data analysis or expert experience.

[0179] The path importance score is the final output of the entire analysis framework, which integrates the association characteristics of both direct and indirect levels. This double-layer scoring method can comprehensively reflect the role of the path in the emission propagation network and avoid the one-sidedness caused by considering only a single level. By adjusting the weight coefficients of the direct and indirect levels, the evaluation standard can be flexibly adjusted according to the research needs. This comprehensive score will be directly used to determine the key propagation path and provide a scientific basis for traffic management decisions.

[0180] Based on the region setting of the present embodiment to region , there are 4 carbon emission propagation paths between them, respectively → → , → → , → → , → → . Among them, → → Examples of corresponding path importance scores are shown below, and the information for each region is shown in Table 2:

[0181] Table 2

[0182]

[0183] Based on this, the comprehensive spatiotemporal distance is calculated through spatial distance standardization and temporal distance standardization. Then, the association strength is calculated, and finally, the path importance score is calculated. The calculation results are shown in Table 3:

[0184] Table 3

[0185]

[0186] Similarly, it can be calculated that → → , →→ , → → The importance scores of the three carbon emission propagation pathways are shown in Table 4 and Figure 3 As shown:

[0187] Table 4

[0188]

[0189] Comparing the path importance scores of the four paths reveals that the path... → → The path with the highest importance score is the key propagation path of carbon emissions.

[0190] This embodiment establishes a complete method for calculating urban traffic carbon emissions, organically combining multiple dimensions such as traffic flow characteristics, vehicle characteristics, and environmental factors. Through the collaborative operation of multiple sub-models, the accuracy and reliability of the calculation results are significantly improved. The proposed carbon emission propagation path identification method has strong practical guiding significance and can be directly applied to the optimization and management of urban transportation systems. By identifying key propagation paths, it can provide clear directional guidance for formulating targeted emission reduction measures, thereby improving the effectiveness of emission reduction measures.
