How to achieve efficient monitoring of toll station operation status and build an objective and accurate traffic evaluation system has become crucial for promoting the digital transformation of road network operation services and improving traffic efficiency and service quality.

[0003] Currently, traditional methods for assessing the operational status of toll stations mainly rely on monitoring centers built by road management units and manual monitoring. This presents significant technical bottlenecks: First, insufficient data fusion capabilities, relying solely on single video data sources or individual auxiliary data from different road sections, making it difficult to effectively integrate multi-dimensional information such as equipment status, traffic flow data, and transaction records, thus failing to comprehensively reflect the true operational status of toll stations. Second, a lack of objectivity in evaluation standards, excessive reliance on manual experience and the absence of a quantitative and scientific scoring system, leading to subjective biases in the assessment results. Third, limited monitoring timeliness and coverage, making it difficult to achieve 24 / 7 real-time monitoring across all scenarios, and weak capabilities for retrospective analysis of historical operational data, failing to meet the needs of rapid fault diagnosis and long-term operational optimization.

[0059] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0060] In this document, the term "comprising" is intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0061] This embodiment provides a first aspect such as Figure 1 The highway toll station traffic efficiency evaluation system based on multi-source time-series data shown includes:

[0062] The data parsing module is configured to: collect multi-dimensional time-series data from multiple toll stations, and transmit, parse, and monitor the quality of the collected time-series data to obtain standardized structured data;

[0063] The preprocessing module is configured to: perform timestamp alignment and device operating status transformation on the structured data to obtain structured time-series data with device operating status identifiers;

[0064] The feature processing module is configured to: extract pressure parameter feature vectors and service parameter feature vectors based on the structured time-series data;

[0065] The dual-model evaluation module is configured to: based on the constructed stress index model and service index model, respectively input the stress parameter feature vector and the service parameter feature vector, and output the stress index prediction value and the service index prediction value;

[0066] The graded evaluation module is configured to: output the corresponding traffic pressure evaluation result based on the pressure index prediction value according to the preset graded mapping relationship, and output the corresponding service quality evaluation result based on the service index prediction value.

[0067] Based on this, the highway toll station traffic efficiency evaluation system based on multi-source time-series data in this embodiment integrates multi-dimensional time-series data through a data parsing module, solving the limitations of traditional assessments that rely on a single data source and achieving data comprehensiveness. A preprocessing module ensures the temporal consistency and integrity of the data, laying the foundation for subsequent analysis. A feature processing module and a dual-model evaluation module output quantitative indices, replacing traditional manual experience-based judgments and constructing an objective dual-indicator evaluation system. Finally, a hierarchical evaluation module outputs intuitive evaluation results, achieving real-time and accurate assessment of the toll station's operational status. This effectively solves the problems of insufficient data integration, subjective evaluation, and poor timeliness in traditional assessments, providing data-driven decision support for operation management.

[0068] In this embodiment, the data parsing module includes:

[0069] The data transmission service unit is configured to transmit the multi-dimensional time-series data through a hybrid transmission processing mechanism, wherein the hybrid transmission processing mechanism includes asynchronous transmission via message queues and real-time processing of streaming data (such as Apache Flink), and the multi-dimensional time-series data is unstructured or semi-structured data.

[0070] The file parsing service unit is configured to: convert the multi-dimensional time-series data into structured data using regular expressions and heterogeneous data format parsing tools; wherein, the heterogeneous data format parsing tools include an XML parser or a JSON parser;

[0071] The data quality monitoring unit is configured to: assess the integrity of the structured data through a data volume statistical monitoring benchmark model and non-empty rate analysis of key business fields; assess the accuracy of the structured data through a business rule engine and outlier detection algorithm; assess the consistency of the structured data through a cross-data source alignment and verification mechanism; assess the timeliness of the structured data through an end-to-end latency indicator and a tiered alarm mechanism; and assess the effectiveness of the structured data through data usage frequency and demand matching degree analysis.

[0072] Through the above-described data parsing module setup, the three units of the data parsing module work together: the data transmission service unit adopts a hybrid transmission mechanism, which not only ensures the stability of unstructured / semi-structured data transmission but also enables real-time processing, solving the problems of latency or instability in traditional data transmission; the file parsing service unit standardizes the data through regular expressions and XML / JSON parsers, providing a unified format for subsequent processing and overcoming the shortcomings of traditional data formats being chaotic and difficult to integrate; the data quality monitoring unit evaluates data quality from five dimensions, ensuring that the data is complete, accurate, consistent, timely, and effective, avoiding evaluation bias caused by data quality issues, and providing data assurance for the reliability of the entire system.

[0073] Feasibly, the multi-dimensional time-series data includes vehicle transaction logs, real-time vehicle passage monitoring data, equipment monitoring heartbeat data, and lane log data, wherein:

[0074] The transaction log for passing vehicles includes lane code, universal unique identifier, transaction time, license plate number, toll vehicle type, entrance information, toll gantry identification, and exit information;

[0075] The real-time vehicle passage monitoring data includes lane code, license plate number, entry time into lane, exit time into lane, passage duration, average speed, transaction time, and special situation type;

[0076] The device monitors heartbeat data including lane code, upload time, entry time, device ID, status code, response delay, and fault marker.

[0077] The lane log data includes lane code, software version, upload time, data entry time, data version, number of incidents, and incident type.

[0078] By designing the multi-dimensional time series data as described above, the types and key fields of the multi-dimensional time series data were clarified, the data sources and core information were accurately defined, and the comprehensiveness and relevance of data collection were ensured. This provided reliable and standardized raw data for subsequent data analysis, preprocessing and feature extraction, avoiding analytical biases caused by missing or unclear data fields, and further ensuring the effectiveness of the entire evaluation system.

[0079] In this embodiment, the preprocessing module includes:

[0080] The timestamp alignment unit is configured to align all data sources with a time window of S seconds, and to fill missing values ​​using a regular linear interpolation method. The filling formula is:

[0081]

[0082] in, These are the missing values ​​at the target time point t to be filled. The observation value is from the previous valid time point t-1. For the observation value at the next valid time point t+1, The time interval between the valid time point t+1 and the valid time point t-1. Let be the time interval between the target time point t and the effective time point t-1, and ;

[0083] The device status conversion unit is configured to convert device heartbeat data into device operating status data. If a device records fewer than a dynamic threshold x heartbeats within a time window of S seconds, it is marked as a device fault. The conversion formula is as follows:

[0084]

[0085] in, The result is the equipment fault marking result. When the value is 1, it means that the equipment is judged to be in a fault state. When the value is 0, it means that the equipment is judged to be in a normal state. This represents the number of valid heartbeats recorded at time point t. A value of 1 indicates that there is a valid heartbeat record at the corresponding time point, while a value of 0 indicates that there is no valid heartbeat record at the corresponding time point. This represents the total number of valid heartbeat data records within a time window of S seconds.

[0086] Based on the above preprocessing module settings, the timestamp alignment unit aligns data using an S-second time window, fills missing values ​​with a linear interpolation formula, and estimates missing values ​​by using effective observations before and after the target time point and by the time interval ratio, ensuring time consistency across different data sources, filling in data gaps, and avoiding analysis errors caused by time misalignment or data gaps. The equipment status conversion unit compares the heartbeat count with a dynamic threshold, using heartbeat frequency to reflect equipment activity, accurately identifying equipment fault status, providing a reliable basis for subsequent pressure and service index analysis, and solving the problem of fuzzy traditional equipment status judgment.

[0087] In this embodiment, the calculation formula for the pressure index model is as follows:

[0088]

[0089] in, The predicted pressure index value for the i-th sample output by the model at time t; Let be the dimension of the pressure parameter feature vector. The value of the eigenvector of the k-th pressure parameter. The weights of the eigenvectors for the k-th pressure parameter are... This is the pressure bias term.

[0090] The calculation formula for the service index model is as follows:

[0091]

[0092] in, The predicted service index value of the i-th sample output by the model at time t; The dimension of the service parameter feature vector. The value of the feature vector of the k-th service parameter. The weights of the feature vector of the k-th service parameter are... For service bias terms.

[0093] Based on the aforementioned stress index model and service index model, by linearly combining feature vectors and quantifying the impact of each feature on stress / service quality through weighting, multi-dimensional features are integrated into a single index. This transforms complex multi-dimensional data into intuitive and comparable quantitative indicators, thereby achieving a quantitative assessment of traffic stress and service quality. This solves the problem of the lack of unified quantitative standards in traditional evaluations, making the evaluation results more objective and comparable.

[0094] It is feasible that the pressure parameter feature vector Including the idle time of lane i during time period t Number of idle times Real-time traffic flow Traffic saturation Total number of equipment Number of devices with abnormal heartbeats Equipment failure ratio Failure rate sliding window statistics and moving average of traffic flow index .

[0095] By designing the aforementioned pressure parameter feature vectors, the key factors affecting traffic pressure are comprehensively captured, providing multi-dimensional and targeted input features for the pressure index model. This ensures that the model can accurately depict changes in traffic pressure, solves the problem of the single dimension in traditional pressure assessment, and improves the comprehensiveness and accuracy of pressure evaluation.

[0096] Secondly, the service parameter feature vector Including the actual average travel time of lane i during time period t Theoretical benchmark travel time Travel time deviation Vehicle speed fluctuation rate Continuous trouble-free duration Transaction success rate smoothing value And the efficiency ratio of lane toll collection method at toll station j during time period t Among them, the lane toll collection methods include ETC or MTC.

[0097] By designing the service parameter feature vectors mentioned above, the core indicators of service quality are comprehensively covered, providing multi-dimensional feature support for the service index model. This enables the model to accurately quantify service quality, solves the problem of the one-sidedness of traditional service evaluation indicators, and improves the accuracy of service quality evaluation.

[0098] Furthermore, the dual-model evaluation module is also configured to: train and optimize the model using mean squared error and L2 regularization as loss functions, and update the model parameters using backpropagation and gradient descent algorithms; wherein:

[0099] The loss function of the stress index model is:

[0100]

[0101] The loss function of the service index model is:

[0102]

[0103] The formula for updating model parameters is:

[0104]

[0105]

[0106] in, This refers to the number of training samples (i.e., the total number of samples used in model training). The labeled pressure index value (i.e. the actual observed pressure index) of the i-th sample in the training dataset at time t. The labeled service index value (actually observed service index) of the i-th sample in the training dataset at time t. This is a regularization parameter for the pressure index model, used to reduce model complexity and prevent overfitting; Regularization parameters for the service index model are used to reduce model complexity and prevent overfitting. and Used for L2 regularization calculation; The learning rate is used to control the step size for parameter updates in the gradient descent algorithm. For loss function Yes gradient, For loss function pairs The gradient reflects the parameters and The trend and extent of the impact of small changes on the value of the loss function.

[0107] Based on the above, the loss function for model training and optimization employs mean squared error and L2 regularization. Mean squared error measures the error by calculating the squared difference between the predicted and true values, ensuring the accuracy of model predictions. L2 regularization, by weighting the sum of squared parameters, limits the parameters from becoming too large and prevents model overfitting. The parameter update formula iteratively optimizes the parameters along the gradient of the loss function to minimize the loss. This improves the model's prediction accuracy and generalization ability, avoids practical application deviations caused by overfitting the training data, and ensures stable output of the two models in different scenarios.

[0108] In this embodiment, the hierarchical mapping relationship includes:

[0109] When the predicted pressure index value is in the range of [0,5), the corresponding traffic pressure assessment result is smooth; when the predicted pressure index value is in the range of [5,7), the corresponding traffic pressure assessment result is basically smooth; when the predicted pressure index value is in the range of [7,8), the corresponding traffic pressure assessment result is slightly congested; when the predicted pressure index value is in the range of [8,9), the corresponding traffic pressure assessment result is moderately congested; when the predicted pressure index value is in the range of [9,10], the corresponding traffic pressure assessment result is severely congested.

[0110] When the predicted service index value is in the range [0,2], the corresponding service quality evaluation result is poor; when the predicted service index value is in the range (2,4], the corresponding service quality evaluation result is poor; when the predicted service index value is in the range (4,6], the corresponding service quality evaluation result is average; when the predicted service index value is in the range (6,8], the corresponding service quality evaluation result is good; when the predicted service index value is in the range (8,10], the corresponding service quality evaluation result is excellent.

[0111] Based on the above-mentioned hierarchical mapping relationship, the quantitative index is mapped to a specific level by a preset interval, which realizes the transformation of the abstract quantitative index into an easy-to-understand evaluation conclusion. This enables operators to quickly grasp the traffic pressure and service quality status of toll stations, solves the problem of the obscure and difficult-to-apply traditional evaluation results, and improves decision-making efficiency.
