Description
Technical Field

[0002] As capital-intensive public service facilities, the scientific decision-making regarding the scale of initial investment and the construction sequence of low-altitude infrastructure has a decisive impact on the project's life-cycle benefits. Currently, research on demand forecasting for low-altitude take-off and landing facilities is still in the exploratory stage, and existing methods generally suffer from insufficient spatial dimension refinement. Because low-altitude transportation networks exhibit significant system network effects, their service efficiency highly depends on the spatially coordinated layout of facility nodes; therefore, demand forecasting must be organically integrated with spatial location analysis.
[0003] However, in terms of data support, the existing statistical system still has structural deficiencies in its coverage depth at the township-level administrative divisions. Taking traffic demand forecasting as an example, the OD matrix data required by the traditional four-stage method is generally lacking at the county level and below, and the available effective data dimensions, such as population and GDP, are relatively limited. This data sparsity significantly increases the difficulty of predicting the spatial distribution of demand. Summary of the Invention

[0060] Step S11: In this embodiment of the invention, the target area is based on a township as the basic spatial unit, collecting data on tourism and long-distance commuter passenger volume; for example... Figure 2 This is a detailed flowchart of the spatial forecasting of the demand for low-altitude take-off and landing facilities in a certain township area according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, buses are the main means of transportation. The historical demand data table is composed of relevant data such as the output / external transportation volume of fresh products or other time-sensitive products in the area, as well as the last-mile logistics delivery volume. It is specifically divided into four scenario types: passenger commuting, passenger tourism, last-mile logistics delivery, and product cargo transportation.
[0061] Table 1 Historical Demand Data
[0062]
[0063] Step S12: Based on the scenario type analysis in Table 1, passenger tourism and passenger commuting scenarios are used for passenger demand forecasting in the target area's towns and villages; product cargo transportation and last-mile logistics delivery scenarios are used for freight demand forecasting in the target area's towns and villages. For the passenger tourism scenario, based on historical data on ticket purchases at various tourist attractions, regression analysis, consumption coefficient method, and exponential smoothing method are used to calculate the average value to obtain the predicted number of tourist ticket purchases in towns and villages for the next five to ten years. The same forecasting method is used for passenger commuting, product cargo transportation, and last-mile logistics delivery scenarios to obtain the corresponding demand forecast results. for:
[0064] ;
[0065] in, This is the demand forecast result; The demand forecast results from the regression analysis model; The demand forecast results are from the consumption coefficient method; The demand forecast results are from the growth curve model.
[0066] Demand forecasting results were established using multiple linear regression. The relationship between demand forecasting and regional development level and time variables was used to obtain the demand forecasting results from the regression analysis model. for:
[0067] ;
[0068] in, The first regression coefficient, The second regression coefficient, The third regression coefficient, The fourth regression coefficient is estimated using the least squares method; t represents the year, which is a time parameter variable. For GDP parameters; For population indicator parameters; The residual term follows a normal distribution.

[0070] ;
[0071] in, To consume the basic demand; This is the consumption elasticity coefficient, with a value ranging from 0.5 to 1.2, adjusted according to industry characteristics; For future consumption demand; This represents the current consumption demand. It is the natural logarithm function.
[0072] The Gompertz curve was used to fit the nonlinear growth trend, and the demand forecast results of the growth curve model were obtained. for:
[0073] ;
[0074] in, The theoretical maximum demand was determined through expert interviews and extrapolation from historical data; exp is the natural exponential function.

[0076] Step S13: Obtain the four demand forecast results for the target area towns obtained in Step S12. Based on the weather conditions required for scenario operation, the peak and off-peak season patterns, and local climate characteristics, determine the actual number of operating days for the passenger tourism scenario. Using the four demand forecast results from Step S12 as a basis, and combining the aircraft seating capacity of the planned low-altitude take-off and landing facilities, calculate the average daily number of flights required for low-altitude take-off and landing facilities under pessimistic, mesoscopic, and optimistic scenarios. For passenger commuting, product and cargo transportation, and last-mile logistics delivery scenarios, use the same forecasting process to obtain the demand forecast results for their respective average daily number of flights.
[0077] Passenger commuting and freight transportation primarily serve the overall national situation and will exhibit an S-shaped growth curve. Initial growth will be slow, followed by a period of rapid growth before gradually approaching saturation. Therefore, a modified exponential growth model is more appropriate for analysis in this context. Passenger tourism and last-mile logistics delivery are determined by local transportation data and productivity. Consequently, their initial growth rate will be relatively stable, gradually approaching a certain saturation point. The growth curve will be relatively flat and uniformly approaching saturation, reflecting a more stable, rigid growth process driven by fundamental factors. A logistic growth model can effectively fit this change process.

These are the parameters for the first scenario analysis. The value is determined based on the scenario analysis: Pessimism = 0.01 Mesoscopic = 0.02 Meso-level = 0.03, and by substituting technological advancements under different scenarios, the corrected passenger commuting demand is calculated. The result.
[0081] Step S132: The demand for passenger transport and tourism in the target area's towns and villages is adjusted using the logistic growth model, resulting in the adjusted demand for passenger transport and tourism:

For the second scenario analysis parameters, The value is determined based on the scenario analysis: Pessimism = 0.01 Mesoscopic = 0.02 Meso-level = 0.03, and by substituting technological advancements under different scenarios, the corrected demand for passenger transport and tourism scenarios is calculated. The result.
[0084] Step S133: The logistic growth model is used to adjust the demand for last-mile logistics in the target area's towns and villages, resulting in the following adjusted demand:

The result.
[0087] Step S134: The demand for product and goods transportation in the target area's townships is adjusted using a modified exponential growth model, resulting in the following adjusted demand:
[0088] ;

Market impact coefficient of the modified exponential growth model The growth rate of the logistic growth model Parameter calibration was performed, and the robustness of the modified exponential growth model and logistic growth model was improved through Bayesian estimation. The prediction accuracy of the modified exponential growth model and logistic growth model was verified by backtesting with existing historical demand data from townships in the target area.
[0091] Step S21: Set the initial saturation permeability of the target area towns Market Influence Coefficient and growth rate The parameter range. Saturated permeability. Typically set based on market research or expert model evaluation; in the example, in the passenger commuting scenario, the value may range from 5% to 20% of the peak value at maturity. Market Impact Coefficient Reflecting technological maturity and policy support, this value is typically set between [0.05, 0.2] in modified exponential growth models. Growth rate The parameters used in the logistic growth model are typically set between [0.1, 0.3].
[0092] Step S22: Perform Monte Carlo simulation; based on the parameter range set in step S21, use a programming language to perform a large number of random samples to generate multiple sets of parameter combinations, and calculate the demand forecast results under each parameter combination by modifying the exponential growth model and the logistic growth model.

For each set of saturation penetration rates generated in step S22... Market Influence Coefficient and growth rate The parameters are combined and substituted to calculate the future demand forecast results, which are then compared with the actual observed values to calculate evaluation indicators such as the root mean square error (RMSE).
[0094] Step S24: Based on the root mean square error (RMSE) calculated in step S23, perform a Bayesian posterior update of the saturated permeability. Market Influence Coefficient and growth rate By weighting the various parameter combinations, the optimal saturation permeability is selected.

A certain historical period of the target area township is selected. In this example, historical demand data from 2018 to 2022 is used. The low-altitude demand in this period is predicted by the parameter combination before calibration and the parameter combination after calibration, respectively. The difference between the predicted value and the actual value is compared, the root mean square error (RMSE) is calculated, and it is determined whether it is less than or equal to 15%.
[0095] Step S25: Update the saturated permeability from step S24 Market Influence Coefficient and growth rate Substituting the modified exponential growth model and logistic growth model from step S13, the modified demand results for passenger commuting scenarios are obtained.

[0109] Step S33: Since the low-altitude take-off and landing fields in the target area's towns and villages have both passenger and freight transport functions, there is potential for site reuse. The reuse can be done in two ways: spatial partitioning or time-segmented reuse. Therefore, a space utilization coefficient is introduced. and time reuse factor The total demand for low-altitude take-off and landing stations in the target area's towns and villages, obtained through collaborative optimization, is as follows:
[0110] ;
[0111] in, The total demand for low-altitude take-off and landing stations in the target area's towns and villages; To find the minimum value of the function; The space utilization coefficient, taken as 0.8-0.9 in this example, is used to reflect the efficiency of facility sharing. =0.5 × Number of reusable equipment types 复 Number of device types 总 +0.5 × overlapping area of passenger / cargo facility functional spaces, such as shared helipads and loading / unloading areas, S overlap / Total facility footprint S total ; This is the time reuse factor. : The overlap between peak passenger demand and peak freight demand; The average daily working hours.

This information is directly used in the planning and development of low-altitude infrastructure at the city and county levels, ensuring spatial matching between low-altitude take-off and landing facility nodes in target areas and demand hotspots, thus avoiding resource misallocation. Simultaneously, based on the total demand for passenger low-altitude scenarios obtained in step S31...
