[0019] In particular, as shown in Figures 1-3 , the present application proposes a low-traffic road classification detection and evaluation method based on road performance prediction, which comprises the following steps: Step S101, constructing a condition inference tree of the annual average daily traffic volume of the area to be evaluated to obtain the traffic volume grouping boundary.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the condition inference tree of the annual average daily traffic volume of the area to be evaluated is constructed to obtain the traffic volume grouping boundary, specifically: According to the condition inference framework, a decision tree is constructed, and the log-standardized traffic volume is selected as a continuous prediction variable, and the road performance change trend is selected as a response variable, and the change trend is quantified as the linear regression slope of the decay curve , an initial root node data set is constructed , and the data set is sorted according to size; standard statistics are constructed, and the midpoint of the traffic volume observation value in the node D is taken as a candidate split point, and each candidate split point is divided into left and right subsets, the information gain at any candidate split point is calculated, and the candidate point with the maximum information gain is selected as the optimal split point; The left subset and the right subset of the child node are subjected to significance test respectively, if the p-value of the chi-square test is <0.05, the split point is re-found, otherwise the split is stopped; After sorting the tree structure split points, the traffic volume grouping boundary is obtained by rounding.

[0021] In a possible implementation, after constructing the annual average daily traffic condition inference tree of the region to be evaluated and obtaining the traffic volume grouping boundary, the following is further included: Performing within-group homogeneity test on each group of traffic volume samples to verify that the pavement performance degradation rates within the same traffic volume grouping have high consistency; Performing between-group heterogeneity test on each group of traffic volume samples to verify that there are significant differences in the degradation rates of different traffic volume groupings.

[0022] Specifically, the following two points need to be met when dividing the traffic volume: (1) Within the same traffic volume classification, the trend of change of pavement performance indicators (i.e., the degradation curve) over time for different road sections is as consistent as possible; (2) The differences in the degradation curves between different traffic volume classifications are as large as possible.

[0023] Therefore, a conditional inference tree (CTREE) needs to be introduced. The conditional inference tree is a recursive partitioning method based on statistical testing, which can automatically handle continuous predictor variables, select split points through hypothesis testing, and ensure the statistical significance of splitting. Its core advantage is that it can directly test the correlation between the predictor variable and the response variable, and only split when the correlation is significant, making the grouping more reliable. The operation process is as follows: 1. Construct a decision tree according to the conditional inference framework, and select the log-standardized traffic volume as the continuous predictor variable:

[0024] Select the trend of change in pavement performance as the response variable, and for simplicity, quantify the trend of change as the linear regression slope of the degradation curve , construct the initial root node dataset , and sort the dataset according to ; 2. Construct the standard statistic:

[0025] wherein, the statistic

[0026] the sample mean ; the sample variance

[0027] 3. Take the midpoint of the traffic volume observation values in node D (initially the root node) as the candidate split point:

[0028] Each can be divided into left and right subsets: left subset

[0029] right subset

[0030] Compute information gain at any candidate split point:

[0031] where, , , , are linear regression slope of i-th sample, D set, left subset and right subset respectively; , are number of nodes of left and right subset respectively.

[0032] Select the candidate point with the largest as the optimal split point.

[0033] 4, Set up null hypothesis : and are independent. Perform significance test on the left and right subsets of child nodes and respectively. If , reject and repeat step (3) to continue the process of finding split points. Otherwise, stop splitting.

[0034] 5, Sort the tree structure split points and take the integer part to get the traffic volume grouping boundary.

[0035] 6, Perform within-group homogeneity test on each group of traffic volume samples to verify that the road performance decay rates within the same traffic volume grouping have high consistency: Levene's test of homogeneity of variance: (null hypothesis H0: all group variances are equal) Within-group correlation coefficient:

[0036] where, , , are the average deviation of the j-th group data, the total average deviation and the average deviation of each sample within the group respectively; , are the between-group sum of squares and the within-group sum of squares respectively; m is the average number of samples in each group; When Levene's test of homogeneity of variance p > 0.05 and the correlation coefficient ICC > 0.8, the within-group homogeneity test is determined to pass, if p > 0.05 and ICC < 0.8, increase the grouping; 7. Inter-group heterogeneity test is performed on each traffic volume sample to verify that there is a significant difference in the decay rate of different traffic volume groups: One-way ANOVA: (Hypothesis H0: all group means are equal) Effect size:

[0037] When one-way ANOVA p < 0.01 and effect size > 0.25, the inter-group heterogeneity test is determined to pass.

[0038] In step S102, the road network of the to-be-evaluated area is screened based on the traffic volume grouping boundary, and target road segments of different traffic volume groups are selected.

[0039] In one possible implementation, the road network of the to-be-evaluated area is screened based on the traffic volume grouping boundary, and target road segments of different traffic volume groups are selected, specifically as follows: The road network of the to-be-evaluated area is screened, and road segments with a service time greater than a preset time limit are filtered out, and the gantry data is subjected to sliding window filtering processing to remove abnormal values; The annual average daily traffic volume of the road segment is calculated based on an equivalent traffic volume conversion model considering axle load spectrum; According to traffic volume classification and specific pavement performance evaluation indexes, the inspection data of each expressway road segment is grouped, Bootstrap resampling method is used to randomly extract n observation values with replacement, grouping samples are determined, the grouping samples include fitting groups and external validation groups, and sample distribution consistency of each group is verified.

[0040] In this embodiment, the road network of the to-be-evaluated area is screened, and road segments with a service time greater than 5 years are filtered out, and the gantry data is subjected to sliding window filtering processing to remove abnormal values; the annual average daily traffic volume of the road segment is calculated based on an equivalent traffic volume conversion model considering axle load spectrum.

[0041] Specifically, according to traffic volume classification and specific pavement performance evaluation indexes, the inspection data of each expressway road segment is grouped, Bootstrap resampling method (repeated 1000 times) is used to randomly extract n observation values with replacement, grouping samples are determined, that is, fitting groups and external validation groups, and sample distribution consistency (P > 0.1) of each group is verified.

[0042] Step S103: Construct a PPI decay curve based on the composite pavement performance decay function, and obtain a maintenance time window based on the PPI decay curve.

[0043] In one possible implementation, a PPI decay curve is constructed based on a composite pavement performance decay function, and a maintenance time window is obtained based on the PPI decay curve, specifically as follows: Preliminary setting of final performance values ​​during service life After fitting the S-curve, the fitted data were analyzed using the Monte Carlo method. Secondary parameter sampling, selecting the parameters with the smallest sum of squared residuals and the smallest coefficient of determination. By determining the fitting parameters, the fitting curve is obtained. Extract the service life of the 63.2% attenuation state from the fitted curve. and service life performance limit ; by and To constrain the conditions, after fitting the exponential curve, the fitted data were analyzed using the Monte Carlo method. Secondary parameter sampling, selecting the parameters with the smallest sum of squared residuals and the smallest coefficient of determination. By determining the fitting parameters, the fitting curve is obtained. The pavement performance indicators used in the fitted curve for a 15-year lifespan were extracted. ; by As the final performance value during the road's service life, the S-shaped curve fitting was repeated to obtain the fitted curve. ; The weighted average method was used to fit the curve. and fitted curve Synthesize the data and refine the fitted curve based on the fitted group data. and fitted curve The weights were determined by performing regression analysis using the LM algorithm, and the performance degradation equation of the composite pavement was obtained. Based on the fitting of the composite attenuation curve, the combined curve is calculated. The third derivative corresponding The second derivative is the starting point for accelerated performance degradation. corresponding Construct a maintenance window for the curvature extreme point. .

[0044] In this embodiment, m data points are randomly selected from the fitted group to establish an S-shaped pavement performance index (PPI) decay model curve that takes into account traffic volume classification correction.

[0045] PPI decay curves are constructed using the Boltzmann function:

[0046] wherein, is the performance index initial value; is the performance index final value; , is the S-shaped curve model parameter. The performance final value in service period is initially set as Based on the Monte-Carlo method, the fitting group data is sampled for times of parameter sampling, and the fitting curve with the minimum residual sum of squares (RSS) and the largest coefficient of determination is screened after fitting. The service life of the 63.2% decay state in the fitting curve and the upper limit value of the performance in service period are extracted; m pieces of data are randomly extracted from the fitting group, and an exponential pavement performance index (PPI) decay model considering traffic volume grading correction is established.

[0047] An exponential function is used to construct the PPI decay curve:

[0048] wherein, is the performance index initial value, usually 98-100, indicating the initial pavement performance when the newly built road is completed and opened to traffic; , is the exponential curve model parameter. Based on the Monte Carlo method, the fitting group data is sampled for times of parameter sampling, and the fitting curve with the minimum residual sum of squares (RSS) and the largest coefficient of determination is screened after fitting. The pavement performance index when the service life is 15 years in the fitting curve is extracted; Based on the fitting group data, the step (5) S-shaped curve fitting is repeated with as the performance final value in service period, to obtain the fitting curve ; A composite pavement performance decay equation is established.

[0049]

[0050] The weighted average method is used to synthesize and , and the L-M algorithm regression analysis is used to determine the weight based on the fitting group data.

[0051] The core of preventive maintenance is to grasp the maintenance threshold window before the performance accelerated degradation, to maintain the pavement in good condition at a lower cost, and to prolong the service life. The composite pavement performance degradation equation shows that the degradation function is a monotonically decreasing nonlinear function, the curve initially gently declines, then steeply accelerates, and finally again gently declines, gradually tending to the lower limit of the performance index.

[0052] The first derivative of the performance index function can represent the instantaneous decay rate, the second derivative can represent the change rate of the decay rate, which is used to describe whether the performance deterioration is accelerating or decelerating, and the third derivative can represent the trend of the decay acceleration, which is used to describe whether the acceleration or deceleration deterioration is increasing or decreasing.

[0053] When the second derivative first reaches zero, the performance decay rate first reaches a maximum value, and before and after this point, the performance changes from accelerated deterioration to decelerated deterioration. This point corresponds to the upper limit of the preventive maintenance time limit or the lower limit of the performance threshold, respectively. If the maintenance time is later than this limit, the pavement has suffered more serious damage, and the repair cost increases significantly. At the same time, when the performance index is below this threshold, although the decay rate has slowed down, the overall pavement condition is poor and is not suitable for preventive maintenance.

[0054] When the third derivative first reaches zero, the performance index decay first shows a significant acceleration trend, and before and after this point, the trend of pavement performance decay deterioration begins to increase. This point corresponds to the lower limit of the preventive maintenance time limit or the upper limit of the performance threshold, respectively. This point represents the "warning point" that the performance is about to enter the rapid decline period. At this point, the pavement performance is still at a good level, and if preventive maintenance is performed at this time, the maximum benefit of significantly delaying performance decline and prolonging service life can be obtained at the minimum cost.

[0055] Therefore, based on the fitting of the composite decay curve, the third derivative of the combined curve is calculated The corresponding is the performance accelerated decay starting point (preventive maintenance threshold point), and the second derivative corresponds to is the curvature extreme point (maintenance time limit critical point), and the maintenance time window is constructed.

[0056] For general roadbed sections, based on the analysis of pavement diseases and combined with core drilling data, the treatment method of "surface layer disease treatment + overlay" is preferred. With the increase of traffic volume, asphalt concrete surface layer can be added after the pavement to prolong the overall service life of the pavement. For pavements with large uneven settlement, to reduce diseases such as bump and deflection, a flexible base can be added as a leveling layer to restore smooth pavement alignment.

[0057] In one possible implementation, the composite pavement performance degradation equation is specifically: ; wherein, is the initial value of the performance index; is the final value of the performance index; , is the weight coefficient; , is the parameter of the S-shaped curve model; is the initial value of the performance index, usually 98-100, indicating the initial road surface performance when the newly built road is completed and opened to traffic; , is the parameter of the exponential curve model.

[0058] Step S104, constructing a target function about the comprehensive detection cost in the operation period based on the maintenance time window, and constraining the missed detection risk probability in the target function by using the Weibull distribution considering the reliability.

[0059] Step S105, determining the recommended detection cycle of different traffic groups based on the target function and the traffic classification.

[0060] In one possible implementation, the recommended detection cycle of different traffic groups is determined based on the target function and the traffic classification, specifically: The time from the preventive maintenance threshold point to the preventive maintenance critical value in the selected road section is extracted according to the traffic classification to establish a data set. The likelihood function of the missed detection risk probability in the target function of the Weibull distribution is constructed, and maximum likelihood estimation is performed; The back substitution determines the missed detection risk constraint equation, and the target function form is obtained; The corresponding comprehensive detection cost in the operation period is calculated according to different time intervals respectively, and the detection interval that minimizes the comprehensive detection cost in the operation period is solved; The is taken as the recommended first detection time, and the detection interval that minimizes the comprehensive detection cost in the operation period is taken as the recommended detection cycle, wherein, is the time year corresponding to the performance acceleration decay starting point.

[0061] In this embodiment, road performance detection is the premise of preventive maintenance decision, but frequent detection leads to a sharp increase in operation and maintenance cost, so the detection cycle needs to be balanced from the risk caused by missed detection and the economy of maintenance. The model is constructed based on the following assumptions: (1) the road surface performance decay pattern is mainly related to the traffic load level; (2) the road surface performance can be restored to the initial operation level after timely preventive maintenance; (3) the performance decay pattern after maintenance is consistent with the original performance decay pattern. The model is constructed as follows: ​1. Construct the objective function:

[0062]

[0063] wherein, is the comprehensive detection cost during operation period (ten thousand yuan / km); is the design life of pavement (years); is the detection interval (years); is the probability of missed detection risk; is the single detection cost (ten thousand yuan / km); is the missed detection repair cost (ten thousand yuan / km), which is the difference between the single pavement repair cost and the single preventive maintenance cost; Missed detection risk probability is defined as the probability that the performance index decreases to the preventive maintenance critical value (corresponding to the preventive maintenance timeliness critical point ) within the time interval .

[0064] wherein, is the maximum acceptable failure probability; The missed detection risk probability control constraint uses the Weibull distribution considering reliability:

[0065] wherein, is the scale parameter of Weibull distribution, reflecting the characteristic life, which is the time of 63.2% sample failure; is the shape parameter of Weibull distribution, controlling the failure mode.

[0066] 2. According to the traffic volume classification, extract the time from decreasing to to establish a data set in the selected road section. Construct the likelihood function of Weibull distribution and perform maximum likelihood estimation: ​​​​

[0067] Separately and The maximum likelihood function is obtained using Newton's iterative method based on the dataset. The extreme values ​​are obtained by solving for the Weibull distribution parameters. ; 3. Back-substitution to determine the constraint equation for the risk of missed detection And obtain the objective function form:

[0068]

[0069]

[0070] 4. Order in sequence Calculate separately Solving for the solution minimizes the overall testing cost during the operational period. ; 5. As a recommended time for the first test, As a recommended maintenance cycle In summary, this invention proposes a method for classifying and evaluating low-traffic-volume roads based on pavement performance prediction. The method includes: constructing a conditional inference tree for the annual average daily traffic volume of the area to be evaluated, obtaining traffic volume group boundaries; screening the road network of the area to be evaluated based on the traffic volume group boundaries, selecting target road segments for different traffic volume groups; constructing a PPI decay curve based on a composite pavement performance decay function, and obtaining a maintenance window based on the PPI decay curve; constructing an objective function regarding the comprehensive inspection cost during the operation period based on the maintenance window, and employing a reliability-considered approach. The Weibull distribution constrains the probability of missed detection in the objective function; based on the objective function and the traffic volume classification, the recommended inspection cycle for different traffic volume groups is determined, thereby solving the problem that the traditional classification detection method for low traffic volume roads has failed to form a complete comprehensive evaluation system.
