Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of rail transit vehicle operation and state monitoring, in particular to a health state prediction and management system and method for a rail train sanding system based on multi-source information fusion. BACKGROUND
[0002] The sanding system is a key auxiliary system of the rail train, which effectively improves the adhesion coefficient between the wheel and the rail by spraying quartz sand on the rail surface, prevents the wheel from idling or sliding during traction or braking, and is directly related to the running safety and efficiency of the train. However, the management and maintenance of the sanding system is in a state of extreme extensive and passive, and there are the following significant technical gaps and defects:
[0003] (1) State unknown: the existing system only has the simplest low sand level alarm function, and cannot perform any quantitative monitoring and recording on the sanding amount, sanding frequency, and sanding behavior under different modes (manual / automatic). The operation department has no knowledge of sand consumption, and cannot perform fine management and cost accounting.
[0004] (2) Outdated maintenance strategy: maintenance work is completely based on fixed cycles (such as replacing sand every 30,000 kilometers) or post-fault processing (such as dredging after sand pipe blockage). This "time-based maintenance" mode is extremely uneconomical, which may lead to premature replacement of sand before it is exhausted, or safety hazards due to unexpected depletion of sand and potential blockage of the pipeline.
[0005] (3) Information isolation and lack of intelligent analysis: the sanding system operates as an independent unit, and its data is completely isolated from other systems of the train (such as traction, braking, positioning, and fault diagnosis systems). It is impossible to correlate and analyze the sanding behavior with specific operating scenarios (such as line sections, slopes, weather conditions, and driver operation habits), so it is impossible to evaluate the adhesion utilization efficiency and provide data support for optimizing driving strategies or line maintenance.
[0006] (4) Relies on human experience: sand level inspection, sand quality judgment (whether it is damp and hardened), and other work highly depend on visual inspection and experience judgment by on-board mechanics or ground maintenance personnel, lack objective and quantitative evaluation methods, and are inefficient and unreliable.
[0007] Therefore, the existing technology cannot meet the fine operation and maintenance requirements of modern intelligent rail transit for key systems, and an innovative management method is urgently needed. SUMMARY

[0059] The track train sanding system health state prediction and management method suitable for the track train sanding system health state prediction and management system based on multi-source information fusion of the application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, such as Figure 1 The track train sanding system health state prediction and management method comprises the following steps:
[0060] Step S1: multi-source data acquisition and instruction recognition, data acquisition;
[0061] The data acquisition and analysis module collects vehicle network bus data in real time, analyzes and accurately distinguishes the source type of the sanding instruction; synchronously collects real-time mileage information, GPS positioning information and time information of the train. The data acquisition and analysis module continuously monitors the vehicle bus; when detecting the sanding electromagnetic valve driving signal, according to the signal characteristics (such as instruction address, message ID), it accurately judges whether this sanding is from the driver's manual operation, the anti-slip system trigger or the anti-slip system trigger; at the same time, the accurate GPS coordinates, mileage information and time stamp at this moment are obtained from the train TCMS system.
[0062] Step S2: data association and fusion, data fusion and index calculation;
[0063] The multi-source information fusion module labels each sanding record with a source label, and synchronously associates it with the corresponding mileage, location and time information with high-precision time stamp, forming a raw data set with rich context information. The multi-source information fusion module binds each sanding event with the context information (location, mileage, time) at the time of occurrence. The system aggregates data regularly (such as daily) and calculates the core index of each sand box or each train - "sand consumption per million kilometers" (total sand consumption / total mileage*10000). At the same time, other indexes such as "automatic sanding proportion", "sand consumption of certain line interval" can be calculated. All data is stored in a space-time database.
[0064] Steps S3-S4: health index calculation and feature extraction, health state prediction and decision generation;

[0067] Step S3 and S4 are specifically: using ARIMA (autoregressive integrated moving average model) or LSTM (long short-term memory network) algorithm for modeling, predicting the sand consumption in a certain period of time (such as 7 days) or a certain mileage (such as 3000 kilometers). Combined with the current sand level (if any) or the last sanding amount, the remaining service life is calculated. When the predicted value is lower than the safety threshold, the maintenance decision and work order management production module automatically generates a "suggestion to add sand" work order in the maintenance management system, and pushes it to the relevant personnel's visual display and decision support platform through the interface.

This insight can prompt the maintenance department to check the track surface condition of this section, or prompt the maintenance department to optimize the operation guide of this section, to reduce sand consumption and wheel-rail wear from the source.
