Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of urban public transportation big data analysis and intelligent assessment technology, specifically involving a big data-based urban bus health assessment system. Background Technology
[0002] Due to differences in vehicle models, operating conditions, and operational intensity, complex interactions exist between various systems and components within buses, making it difficult to accurately identify potential faults. Under the current bus management model, the primary reliance is on periodic maintenance and repair, relying on manual inspections and troubleshooting based on prior knowledge to identify potential problems. This approach is not only resource-intensive but also ill-suited to the demands of efficient and precise modern operations. To further improve bus operation management and promote a shift from "reactive maintenance" to "preventative maintenance," the industry urgently needs a framework. However, a systematic and practical evaluation framework is currently lacking for scientifically and comprehensively assessing the health status of buses and assisting operators in efficiently conducting vehicle health diagnoses.
[0003] In existing research, some scholars use mathematical methods such as reliability analysis and cost-benefit models to evaluate public transportation systems. These methods are more theoretical and have limited practical application value. Other studies focus only on one aspect of the public transportation system, such as punctuality rate and energy consumption level. Although they are more targeted, they are difficult to support a multi-dimensional and systematic evaluation of the operation of the public transportation system and are also difficult to provide effective support for overall optimization decisions. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, this invention proposes a big data-based urban bus health assessment system, aiming to achieve accurate quantification of vehicle health status through data mining and statistical modeling techniques. Through regular assessments and dynamic monitoring, it can provide data support for vehicle maintenance planning, resource optimization, and operational decisions, helping to improve the overall utilization efficiency of buses, reduce operating costs, and enhance safety capabilities.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: In a first aspect, this invention discloses a big data-based urban bus health assessment system, which includes: a data extraction and preprocessing module, a health assessment model construction module, and a model calculation and comprehensive evaluation module; wherein... The data extraction and preprocessing module is used to extract multi-source data from the public transportation operation system and perform data cleaning and time alignment processing. The health assessment model construction module constructs a health assessment model based on the multi-source data, which includes an operational reliability unit and a comprehensive operational efficiency unit. Each of the operational reliability unit and the comprehensive operational efficiency unit has multiple characteristic indicators. The model calculation and comprehensive evaluation module is used to standardize and score the feature indicators, calculate the comprehensive health score of urban buses, and output the evaluation results.
[0006] Preferably, the multi-source data extracted by the data extraction and preprocessing module includes: vehicle operation data, fault records, energy consumption data, maintenance records, and CAN bus alarm data.
[0007] Preferably, the operational reliability unit includes characteristic indicators such as: number of failures, mean time between failures, and mean time between failures.
[0008] Preferably, the integrated operational efficiency unit includes characteristic indicators such as: material replacement cost, number of material replacements, number of accidents, energy consumption, bus alarm frequency, average alarm repair response time, and number of downtime days.
[0009] Preferably, in the model calculation and comprehensive evaluation module, the method for assigning scores to feature indicators includes: normal distribution, skewed distribution, and power-law distribution.
[0010] Preferably, in the model calculation and comprehensive evaluation module, the weights of each unit and indicator are determined by the analytic hierarchy process.
[0011] Preferably, in the model calculation and comprehensive evaluation module, a time-slice cyclic construction algorithm is used to obtain the comprehensive health score of urban buses by weighted summation of the scores of various indicators.
[0012] Secondly, this invention also provides a method for assessing the health of urban buses based on big data. Using the aforementioned system, the health assessment of urban buses is achieved. This method mainly includes the following steps: S1. Extract multi-source data from the public transportation operation system and perform data cleaning and time alignment processing; S2.

As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention include: This invention, based on multi-source public transport operation data, constructs a data-driven health assessment model, automating the entire process from data extraction to comprehensive evaluation. This invention innovatively transforms the traditional indicator system into a dynamic model, enhancing its practicality and scalability through statistical distribution analysis and weight optimization.

[0031] In one embodiment, the scoring method for the corresponding indicator is as follows: ① Normal distribution (or approximately normal distribution): a. Calculate the mean (μ) and standard deviation (σ) of the data. Data points falling outside the interval [μ-3σ, μ+3σ] are usually considered outliers, which are used to define the "acceptable interval" and the "penalty interval".

[0041] The weights assigned to each indicator are shown in Table A: Table A: Weights of Each Indicator
[0042] The final vehicle health assessment system data is shown in Table B: Table B: Health Calculation Results
[0043] In this embodiment, the specific calculation process for the health score is as follows: Taking the first row of data in Table B (time base date: 2025 / 6 / 30, period number: 1) as an example: a. Determination of calculation cycle: The system uses the "time slice loop construction algorithm" to determine a uniform evaluation cycle.
[0044] b. Obtain standardized scores for indicators: Perform refined calculations on each indicator and transform the original physical quantity values into comparable standardized scores through a mapping function based on data distribution characteristics (such as normal distribution, skewed distribution, power-law distribution).
[0045] c. Assign corresponding weights to each indicator based on its importance in the overall evaluation (the total weights are 1).
[0046] d. By using a weighted summation method, the contributions of all indicators are combined into a comprehensive health score. See Table C below for details: Table C: Calculation of Overall Health Score
[0047] The evaluation process is shown in Table D below: Table D: Assessment Status Classification
[0048] a. Trend identification: If a vehicle's score curve shows a stable or slow downward trend, it is considered normal aging; if there is a precipitous drop, it indicates that a major hidden fault or systemic degradation may have occurred.
[0049] b. Predictive intervention: Based on this trend, the system can shift from "preventive maintenance" to a more proactive "predictive maintenance." Managers can proactively schedule maintenance plans before vehicle health falls below critical thresholds, thereby minimizing operational disruptions and optimizing resource allocation.
