TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of tunnel ventilation, in particular to a high-performance ventilation system based on digital model design. BACKGROUND
[0002] Compared with the straight-through tunnel with single-point access, the urban underground road with multi-point access is influenced by the structure characteristics of the diverging and merging ramps, and the characteristics of air flow in the tunnel are much more complex than that of the urban underground road with single-point access. The urban underground road form and network linkage dynamic effect have significant changes, and the safe operation of the urban underground road has a very important influence on the safety of urban road traffic. Due to the setting of multiple ramps, the underground road has multiple nodes, multiple branches, and complex air flow organization, which has a great influence on the ventilation environment of the underground road. The longitudinal ventilation based on the piston effect and the non-blocking working condition smoke exhaust system are affected.
[0003] At present, the existing underground interchange technology mainly focuses on structure design and construction technology, and the research on the ventilation system is relatively lacking. Although many studies have proposed ventilation network analysis methods in underground interchange, they are still in the exploratory stage. Most of the literature relies on simple engineering structures, which are composed of a main tunnel and several straight-through ground ramps. The wind flow intersection points and inlets and outlets in the wind network are few, and the wind network structure is relatively simple. The research results are not suitable for complex underground interchange ventilation design. Therefore, how to develop a reasonable ventilation control scheme under different natural wind and traffic flow conditions and establish a digital model of the tunnel ventilation system to realize the on-demand flow of air flow in each tunnel section has become a key problem to be solved in the operation of underground interchange ventilation.

This intelligent adjustment can ensure that the air quality in the tunnel is always within a safe range, avoiding energy waste caused by excessive ventilation, and improving air quality, ensuring the safety and comfort of personnel.
[0076] Referring to Figure 2 , the data collection module includes,
[0077] Vehicle type identification: combined with laser radar and high-definition camera installed at the entrance and middle of the tunnel, computer vision technology is used to classify and identify vehicles in the tunnel, and radar technology is used to measure vehicle speed, while sensors equipped on each vehicle are used to obtain speed data through the tunnel lane monitoring system.
[0078] Flowing people identification: through high-definition cameras and infrared sensors, the number of vehicles passing through the tunnel is identified, and the number of flowing people is estimated.
[0079] Air quality identification: through , , Gas concentration sensors monitor the air quality in the tunnel in real time and give pollutant concentration data, and then through temperature and humidity sensors, the temperature and humidity in the tunnel are monitored in real time, and the data is used to evaluate the influence of air flow and exhaust demand.
[0080] Vehicle types are mainly divided into light vehicles, heavy vehicles and other special vehicles, and the identified vehicle type information will be used to analyze ventilation demand, especially when there are more heavy vehicles such as trucks, stronger ventilation capacity may be needed to exhaust exhaust gas, and vehicle speed information is crucial to the ventilation system, because different speeds will affect pollutant emissions, and flowing people identification will help evaluate the load of the ventilation system, especially during high traffic periods.
[0081] The data analysis and processing module includes, a1, pollutant emission and vehicle speed relationship model: according to the combination of different types of vehicles and vehicle speed, a pollutant emission model is constructed to control the ventilation flow to discharge these gases, the pollutant emission model is: .
[0082] Where, represents the amount of pollutants emitted by a single vehicle, and is a coefficient related to the vehicle type, to adjust the impact of vehicle speed on pollutant emissions, represents the baseline pollutant emissions specific to the vehicle type, for example, if we consider two vehicle types, light vehicles and heavy vehicles , the formula can be expressed as: , ;
[0083] where, and are the speed coefficients for each vehicle type, and are the baseline emissions for each vehicle type;
[0084] a2, the accumulation effect of emissions: the emissions of a vehicle are not only related to the speed, but also closely related to the accumulation effect of emissions, the factors of the accumulation effect include vehicle flow: the larger the vehicle flow, the higher the total amount of pollutant emissions, vehicle density: when the vehicle density is high, the amount of pollutant emissions per unit of time increases, airflow effect: the airflow in the tunnel can affect the diffusion and accumulation of pollutants, the airflow is weak at low speed, and the pollutants are not easy to be discharged quickly, the accumulated pollutants in the tunnel increase the concentration of pollutants when driving at low speed, the formula of the accumulation effect is: ,
[0085] where, is the concentration of pollutants per unit volume, is the number of vehicles passing per unit of time, is the volume of the tunnel, this formula reflects the influence of factors such as vehicle speed, vehicle flow, and tunnel volume on pollutant concentration, the larger the vehicle flow and the smaller the tunnel volume, the higher the concentration of pollutants.
[0086] a3, calculate the ventilation volume: the calculation of ventilation volume is based on the concentration of emissions, the formula is:
[0087] where, is the required ventilation volume, is a coefficient related to the efficiency of ventilation equipment and the structure of the tunnel.
[0088] The data analysis and processing module considers multiple factors such as pollutant emissions, vehicle speed, traffic density, and personnel flow, uses machine learning and pollutant emission models to predict the ventilation demand of the tunnel, this module can provide real-time ventilation volume prediction, provide scientific basis for the tunnel ventilation system, and optimize the air quality in the tunnel through automatic adjustment to ensure personnel safety.
[0089] The decision and control module includes, referring to Figure 4b1, fan start-stop control: it is mainly based on the real-time changes of vehicle speed, pollutant concentration, and vehicle flow to adjust, and the specific control logic is: when the pollutant concentration exceeds the set threshold, that is, when the accumulation effect of emissions causes the pollutant concentration to reach a certain critical value, the fan will be started; on the contrary, when the concentration is lower than the threshold, the fan is turned off.
[0090] b2, fan flow regulation: fan flow regulation depends on the pollutant concentration, vehicle speed, and vehicle flow factors in the tunnel, and the fan flow is accurately adjusted by the frequency drive device, that is, when the pollutant concentration is too high, the fan flow is increased to quickly discharge pollutants, and when the vehicle speed is low, the pollutant accumulation effect is significant, and the fan flow is increased to speed up the discharge of pollutants. The fan flow regulation formula is:
[0091] ,
[0092] wherein, and are adjustment coefficients related to fan efficiency and tunnel volume; for example, assuming that the pollutant concentration = 150 mg / m³, the vehicle flow = 1000 vehicles / hour, = 2, = 0.1, then the fan flow is:
[0093] In this way, the flow regulation of the fan can be dynamically adjusted according to the real-time data changes in the tunnel, which can ensure air quality and save energy.
[0094] Referring to Figure 3 b3, regional ventilation control: by setting local fans at different positions in the tunnel, the air volume of a specific area is adjusted according to real-time pollutant concentration and vehicle speed data. The specific control method includes: in the entrance area, when the vehicle flow is greater than the set threshold and the pollutant concentration is higher than the set high threshold, the air volume is increased, otherwise, the air volume is maintained or adjusted moderately.
[0095] In the middle section area, when the vehicle flow is less than the set threshold and the pollutant concentration is lower than the set low threshold, the air volume is reduced, otherwise, the air volume is adjusted according to the vehicle flow and the pollutant concentration.
[0096] In the terminal area, the air volume is dynamically adjusted to avoid pollutant accumulation or excessive discharge, that is, flexible control is performed according to the instability of vehicle flow and pollutant concentration.
[0097] b4. Dynamic adjustment and adaptive control: In order to cope with the changing tunnel environment, the control module adopts an adaptive control algorithm, i.e. a PID control algorithm that continuously monitors the vehicle speed, flow, and pollutant concentration parameters in the tunnel, and adjusts the working state of the fan in real time according to environmental changes. The calculation formula of the PID control algorithm is:
[0098] wherein, is the control parameter of the fan, is the error, i.e. the difference between the set pollutant concentration and the current pollutant concentration, is the proportional gain, is the integral gain, is the derivative gain, is the error function, represents the integral of the error function from time 0 to time t, which calculates the cumulative sum of the error in this period of time.
[0099] When using the PID control algorithm to adjust the air volume of the fan, the input is:
[0100] Set pollutant concentration: i.e. the set safe pollutant concentration.
[0101] Actual pollutant concentration: i.e. the actual measured pollutant concentration in the tunnel.
[0102] Error calculation: .
[0103] PID controller output: Calculate the control parameter of the fan according to the error and the PID formula , which is used to control the air volume or start / stop state of the fan. Specifically, the error is large, indicating that the pollutant concentration deviates far from the target, and the PID controller will output a large air volume or a strong fan start signal, the error is small, and the air volume or state of the fan will tend to be stable.
[0104] The control system also needs to consider the real-time vehicle speed and vehicle flow. The lower the vehicle speed, the more significant the accumulation effect, and the system should start and stop the fan more frequently to ensure ventilation effect. The fan start-stop frequency is higher at low vehicle speed or high flow. At high vehicle speed, the pollutant emission is less, and the fan start-stop frequency can be appropriately reduced. At the same time, through the PID control algorithm, automatic adjustment of the tunnel fan can be realized, ensuring that the pollutant concentration is always within the safe range, thereby improving the efficiency and stability of the tunnel ventilation system.
[0105] By using a model based on vehicle speed, pollutant emission and accumulation effect, the required ventilation volume is accurately calculated, and at the same time, an adaptive control algorithm such as PID control algorithm is used to dynamically adjust the fan operation, which not only ensures the maximization of ventilation efficiency, but also optimizes the ventilation strategy for different time periods and traffic changes through adaptive control, improving the overall operation performance and stability of the system.

[0107] c2, digital model module: the core task is to simulate and analyze the ventilation system by using computational fluid dynamics, that is, CFD technology, so as to optimize the design of the ventilation system.
[0108] The system continuously collects data through real-time sensors, which are fed back to the optimization scheduling module and the digital model module. The optimization scheduling module uses intelligent algorithms to process real-time data and adjusts fan operation strategies according to current environmental and demand conditions to ensure the lowest energy consumption and the highest ventilation efficiency. The digital model module optimizes the design and operation of the ventilation system through CFD analysis model to ensure that the system can work efficiently under various environmental conditions. The optimized scheduling strategy and design scheme are implemented and continuously optimized through feedback mechanism. For example, if the pollutant concentration in a certain area is high, the system will automatically adjust the working mode of the fan to better meet the ventilation requirements.
[0109] The environmental simulation and prediction module includes: d1, data collection and fusion: collect real-time environmental data in the tunnel, including air quality, traffic flow, temperature and humidity, integrate past operation data, including historical air quality and traffic flow data, provide training samples for deep learning model, clean, denoise and normalize the data to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the data, suitable for deep learning model input.
[0110] d2, Deep learning model: LSTM network is used to model time series data to capture long-term dependencies and predict future air quality and traffic volume.
