Background Technology

[0002] In modern air transport, airport terminals serve as crucial hubs for passenger travel, and their internal pedestrian walkways are key components ensuring efficient and convenient passenger access. However, due to the long-term high-intensity, continuous operation of these walkways, coupled with complex and ever-changing passenger flow and operating conditions, equipment malfunctions occur frequently. This not only affects the passenger travel experience but can also lead to congestion and delays within the terminal.

[0003] Currently, traditional methods for diagnosing faults in pedestrian walkways typically rely on manual inspections and simple monitoring of equipment operating parameters, which have the following problems:

[0004] 1. Manual inspection has disadvantages such as low efficiency, strong subjectivity, and inability to monitor equipment operating status in real time, making it difficult to detect and deal with problems in the early stages of failure.

[0005] 2. Existing equipment operation parameter monitoring systems can only collect a few key data points and lack a complete multimodal fusion and time-series analysis process. They cannot fully perceive the equipment's operating status and have obvious defects in adaptability to the working conditions of the monitoring scenario. Summary of the Invention

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0098] Example 1:

[0099] A fault diagnosis method for pedestrian walkways in airport terminals, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0100] S101. Install data collectors at key locations along the pedestrian walkway to acquire data from the collectors:

[0101] As the front-end sensing link in the fault diagnosis process, sensors are deployed and data is collected. By deploying several vibration sensors, several temperature sensors, several microphone arrays, and several high-definition image acquisition devices at key locations along the pedestrian walkway, the synchronous acquisition of multi-source physical signals is achieved.

[0102] like Figure 2 As shown, a distributed sensor network enables real-time monitoring of multiple physical quantities. This network includes several vibration sensors, temperature sensors, microphone arrays, and high-definition image acquisition devices. Several triaxial vibration sensors are installed at intervals on key locations such as the axial end face of the motor housing and the connection point of the drive chain's drive wheel on the pedestrian walkway. These sensors are connected to the analog input module of an edge computing device via shielded twisted-pair cables to analyze the mechanical state of the equipment and detect potential faults such as wear and loosening of components. Infrared temperature sensors are used, with several sensors fixed at intervals on the motor windings and the outer ring of the motor bearing housing. The temperature data acquired by the sensors is transmitted to the edge computing device via an RS485 bus to collect temperature signals from areas prone to overheating on the pedestrian walkway. By analyzing temperature change trends, overheating faults can be identified, preventing equipment damage caused by overheating. Multi-channel microphone arrays are evenly spaced below the handrails on both sides of the pedestrian walkway, and audio acquisition cards are used to synchronously acquire acoustic signals. By analyzing the frequency, intensity, and other characteristics of the noise, abnormal friction and collisions that may occur during equipment operation can be identified. High-definition image acquisition devices are fixedly installed directly in front of the entrance, exit, and midway point of the pedestrian walkway. These devices collect pedestrian flow and abnormal passenger behavior information, including falls, fighting, jumping, leaning out, walking against traffic, and carrying oversized luggage. The data is connected to an edge computing device via Ethernet and an industrial bridge. Through image recognition and analysis technology, the device counts the number of passengers passing through the walkway per unit time to determine if the current passenger flow is within the device's normal capacity. It also identifies any abnormal passenger behavior. This information assists in assessing the pedestrian walkway's operational status. All sensors are synchronized using fiber optic timing. The raw data acquired by each sensor is temporarily stored locally in the edge computing device in the format of "Device ID-Timestamp-Physical Quantity."

[0103] S103. Preprocess the data from the data collector, integrate the multimodal features of the data collector through a feature-level fusion algorithm, and perform time series modeling based on the multimodal features:

[0104] As a core data processing step in the fault diagnosis process, data preprocessing and multimodal fusion are performed. Vibration signal data, temperature data, noise data, and video data collected by several vibration sensors, temperature sensors, microphone arrays, and high-definition image acquisition devices are preprocessed in a targeted manner. Then, feature-level fusion algorithms are used to integrate multimodal features and perform time-series modeling.

[0105] The data preprocessing includes the collected vibration signal data, temperature data, noise data, and video data. For vibration, temperature, and noise signals, filtering is performed to remove noise interference and improve signal quality. For video data, image enhancement and deblurring are performed to improve image clarity for subsequent image recognition and analysis.

[0106] The vibration signal data is preprocessed by removing low-frequency interference using a Butterworth high-pass filter, as shown in formula (1):

[0107]

[0108] In the formula, H a (s) is the transfer function of the filter, n is the filter order; s is a complex frequency variable, and s = jω, where j is the imaginary unit, ω is the angular frequency, ω = 2πf, and f is the signal frequency; k is the k-th node of the filter; s k For the filter poles, satisfying Ensure that the filter has a flat amplitude-frequency response within the passband.

[0109] The output signal x after Butterworth high-pass filtering fil (t) is shown in formula (2):

[0110] x fil (t)=L -1 [H a (s)·X(s)] (2)

[0111] In the formula, x fil (t) represents the filtered output signal; L -1 [·] represents the inverse Laplace transform; H a X(s) is the transfer function of the filter; X(s) is the Laplace transform of the original vibration signal x(t).

[0112] For the temperature data, a sliding window mean filter is used to smooth the noise, and the filtered output signal is calculated as shown in formula (3):

[0113]

[0114] In the formula, n represents a discrete time point; y s(n) represents the output signal after the discrete-time point n is processed by the sliding window mean filter; L is the length of the sliding window, i.e., the number of consecutive sampling points used to calculate the average; i is the index variable for summation; x s (n) represents the noisy raw temperature signal sample value acquired at discrete time point n; x s (ni) represents the temperature signal sample value at discrete time point n after subtracting the summed index variable.

[0115] The original sound signal is absorbed and then decomposed using wavelet basis functions to achieve noise reduction, as shown in formulas (4) and (5):

[0116]

[0117] In the formula, A k (n) represents the approximation coefficients of the k-th layer; h(m) represents the low-pass filter coefficients of the wavelet decomposition; n represents the sample index of the k-th layer; m represents the coefficient index; A0(n) = x(n) represents the original sound signal; D j (n) represents the detail coefficients of the j-th level, j = 1, 2, ..., k; g(m) represents the high-pass filter coefficients of the wavelet decomposition; This represents the convolution operation.

[0118] For each layer of detail coefficient D j (n) Soft thresholding is applied, resulting in a higher detail factor. As shown in formula (6):

[0119]

[0120] In the formula, D represents the detail coefficients after thresholding. j (n) represents the detail coefficients of the j-th layer; λ j is the threshold of the j-th layer; sign(·) is the sign function.

[0121] The processed coefficients are reconstructed using wavelet reconstruction, as shown in formula (7):

[0122]

[0123] In the formula, x * (n) represents the denoised audio signal; A k (n) represents the approximation coefficients for the k-th layer; represents the detail coefficients of each layer after thresholding; j represents the layer number of the detail coefficients; and k represents the layer number of the approximation coefficients.

[0124] The video data is sequentially converted to grayscale and histogram equalized. The U-Net model is used to segment the region of interest, and the YOLOv5 algorithm is used to identify passenger flow and abnormal behavior. The unit of passenger flow is people / minute.

[0125] After data preprocessing, the weights of each modality are dynamically adjusted using an attention mechanism. The multimodal features of the data collector are integrated through a feature-level fusion algorithm. The fusion strategy is defined as shown in formulas (8) and (9):

[0126] F = α·F vib +β·F tem +γ·F nio +δ·F vid (8)

[0127] α+β+γ+δ=1 (9)

[0128] In the formula, F is the fused multimodal feature vector; F vib F is the feature vector of the vibration signal data; tem F is the feature vector of the temperature data. noi F is the feature vector of the noisy data; vid is the feature vector of the video data; α, β, γ, and δ are the attention weights for vibration, temperature, noise, and video modality, respectively; δ is set to 0.15 by default, and when the passenger flow is greater than 50 people / minute, δ is set to 0.3, and α is reduced accordingly.

[0129] The fused feature vectors are input into a bidirectional LSTM network for time series modeling. The bidirectional LSTM network learns the feature dependencies over the past ten minutes and outputs fused features that include the time dimension. Combined with time series analysis methods, the time series characteristics of the data are considered to explore the patterns and trends of data changes over time, providing more comprehensive and accurate data support for health assessment.

[0130] S105. Based on time-series modeling, obtain the health indicators of pedestrian walkways and evaluate the fault type and severity level:

[0131] As a core decision-making step in the fault diagnosis process, fault diagnosis and health assessment are performed. The health assessment model is built based on a convolutional neural network, and the fault diagnosis uses a support vector machine classification algorithm. Based on the fused time-series feature data, the intelligent model outputs the health index of the pedestrian walkway and completes the identification of fault type and severity level.

[0132] The health index of the pedestrian walkway is output based on the CNN model, as shown in formula (10):

[0133] H=σ(W3·σ(W2·σ(W1·F+b1)+b2)+b3) (10)

[0134] In the formula, H is the health index, with a value range of [0,1]. The closer the value is to 1, the healthier the device is; σ is the ReLU activation function; W1, W2, and W3 are convolution weights; and b1, b2, and b3 are bias terms.

[0135] S107. Upload the health indicators and evaluation results to the host computer system for result display and fault alarm, and construct the pedestrian walkway model:

[0136] As a result feedback link in the fault diagnosis process, it transmits diagnostic results and displays alarms. The health assessment results and fault information are transmitted to the host computer system for visualization and tiered alarm response.

[0137] The improved SVM algorithm is used to classify the fault types. For any health feature vector H of the test sample, the decision score of its belonging to fault category j is shown in formula (11):

[0138]

[0139] In the formula, f j (H) is the decision function for fault category j; H is the health index feature vector of the input sample; α i For Lagrange multipliers; y i Let be the true class label corresponding to the i-th support vector; N is the total number of support vectors. is the RBF kernel function; b is the bias term; j is an element in the fault category set (mechanical fault, electrical fault, control fault).

[0140] Faults are categorized into three types: mechanical faults, electrical faults, and control faults. Severity levels are classified as minor, moderate, and severe. Minor faults do not affect the operation of the pedestrian walkway; moderate faults cause partial functional limitations; and severe faults require immediate shutdown. The edge computing device transmits health indicators, fault types, and severity levels to a host computer system via the MQTT protocol. The host computer system includes a web-based access system, providing an authorized user interface for viewing device operating status and diagnostic results. It displays real-time health curves, fault history charts, and other information visually, allowing users to quickly understand the device's condition.

[0141] Fault alarms execute tiered responses:

[0142] Critical fault level: Triggers an audible and visual alarm near the equipment and simultaneously sends a text message to maintenance personnel to alert them and prompt them to take timely action;

[0143] Moderate level fault: A yellow alarm icon is displayed on the digital screen in the duty room to facilitate daily monitoring and recording by the duty personnel;

[0144] Minor faults: only recorded in the system log, without triggering audible or visual alarms.

[0145] S109. Employ federated learning networks for collaborative optimization to upgrade the pedestrian walkway model across different scenarios:

[0146] like Figure 5 As shown, as a model iteration step in the fault diagnosis process, the diagnostic model is optimized and upgraded across scenarios and data privacy is ensured through parameter interaction between multi-terminal edge nodes and the federated server.

[0147] The federated learning network consists of edge computing devices and federated servers in multiple terminals; the edge computing devices in each terminal act as federated learning nodes, performing data processing and model training locally, and only uploading the model parameters to the federated server, as shown in formula (12):

[0148]

[0149] In the formula, The local model parameters are updated for the k-th scene; θ k Here are the parameters of the local diagnostic model for the k-th scene; η is the learning rate; |D k | represents the number of local dataset samples for the k-th scene; The gradient of the loss function L with respect to the model parameters; f(x; θ) k ) represents the model's predicted value; y represents the true label.

[0150] After updating the local model, the federated learning node uploads the model to the federated server for model aggregation and updates the global model, as shown in formula (13):

[0151]

[0152] In the formula, θ g For global model parameters of the federated server; The sample size weights for the k-th scene; These are the updated local model parameters for the k-th scene.
