TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of tunnel environment control, in particular to an intelligent control system for ventilation and air purification of a highway tunnel. BACKGROUND
[0002] As an important part of the transportation network, highway tunnels are key facilities for connecting different regions and relieving ground traffic pressure. With the continuous increase in traffic flow, a large amount of pollutants is generated during vehicle driving in the tunnel, which is easy to accumulate in the relatively closed space, not only reducing the air quality in the tunnel, but also affecting the visibility and posing a threat to vehicle traffic safety. At the same time, the environmental physical parameters, traffic flow state and ventilation and purification equipment operating state in the tunnel are in dynamic change, such as the alternation of peak and flat traffic flow, the fluctuation of environmental temperature and humidity, and the state attenuation during equipment operation. These dynamic factors make the pollution control in the tunnel face complex challenges. The traditional tunnel ventilation and air purification control method has been difficult to fully respond to the above complex and variable scenarios, and cannot realize real-time and accurate monitoring, effective prediction and efficient control of the pollution situation in the tunnel. Therefore, a system that can integrate multi-source information, realize intelligent analysis and collaborative regulation is urgently needed to balance the relationship between air quality protection, equipment energy saving and traffic efficiency improvement, and meet the high-quality demand of modern highway tunnel operation and management.
[0003] The traditional highway tunnel ventilation and air purification technology has obvious shortcomings in the sensing link, often only monitoring a few types of pollutants or a single dimension parameter, failing to comprehensively cover key information such as tunnel pollutant concentration, traffic flow parameter, environmental physical parameter and equipment operating state, resulting in insufficient overall understanding of the tunnel working conditions. The multi-source data collected lacks effective preprocessing mechanism and is easily disturbed by noise. At the same time, scientific spatio-temporal alignment and fusion are not carried out, making the accuracy and relevance of the monitoring data insufficient to provide reliable support for subsequent analysis. In the prediction and decision-making link, the traditional technology mainly relies on a single physical model for pollution propagation prediction, without considering dynamic variables in actual working conditions, resulting in low prediction accuracy and difficulty in locating the pollution source. The control decision often takes a single target as the guide, or only focuses on air quality while ignoring high energy consumption of equipment, or only pursues energy saving at the expense of traffic efficiency, lacking multi-target collaborative optimization thinking. In addition, the traditional technology lacks a closed-loop feedback mechanism, and the control strategy cannot be adjusted in time according to the actual effect after regulation, resulting in lagging control response and difficulty in adapting to the dynamic change of the tunnel operating environment.

[0041] Multi-objective optimization decision-making module:
[0042] Based on pollutant propagation predictions and real-time tunnel traffic conditions, a three-dimensional evaluation index system is constructed, encompassing air quality, energy consumption, and traffic efficiency. Regarding air quality, the system ensures that the average CO concentration every 5 minutes is ≤100ppm, NOx concentration is ≤5ppm, PM2.5 concentration is ≤0.05mg / m³, visibility is ≥100m, and the proportion of areas exceeding pollutant concentration thresholds within the total tunnel length is ≤5%, with the duration of exceeding thresholds being ≤3 minutes. This ensures that the air quality within the tunnel meets safe passage standards and protects the health of drivers and passengers. The energy consumption index covers equipment operating energy consumption and start-up / shutdown energy consumption. Operating energy consumption is calculated based on the actual operating parameters of axial flow fans, jet fans, electrostatic precipitators, and activated carbon adsorption devices. Start-up / shutdown energy consumption is calculated per fan start-up. The instantaneous energy consumption is calculated by adding 1.2 times the rated power and 0.8 times the rated power for each power switch of the purification equipment. The total energy consumption statistical period is 1 hour. Through precise energy consumption calculation, the energy consumption of the equipment is reduced as much as possible while meeting air quality requirements, thus reducing energy waste. The traffic efficiency indicators require that the average traffic flow in the tunnel per hour be ≥80% of the design flow, the average vehicle speed be ≥60km / h, the vehicle speed fluctuation coefficient be ≤0.2, the number of congestion events per hour be ≤1, and the average following distance of vehicles be ≥50m, to ensure smooth traffic in the tunnel, reduce traffic congestion, and improve traffic efficiency. A dynamic coupling optimization algorithm is used to solve for the Pareto optimal control strategy set. The expression of the dynamic coupling optimization algorithm is: ,in, It is a multi-objective comprehensive optimization index. As a normalized index for air quality, As a normalized energy consumption index, This is a normalized indicator for traffic efficiency. The energy consumption coupling coefficient is... As a traffic efficiency coupling coefficient, it fully balances the relationship between air quality, energy consumption and traffic efficiency, and selects a matching strategy from the optimal control strategy set based on the real-time status of the tunnel, which is then transformed into specific control commands for ventilation equipment and air purification equipment to ensure the optimal equipment operation scheme.
[0043] Device execution and feedback module:
[0044] The system receives coordinated control commands from the multi-objective optimization decision-making module, driving the axial flow fans, jet fans, electrostatic precipitators, and activated carbon adsorption devices. The axial flow fans activate a specified number and position according to the commands, adjusting to corresponding speed levels to enhance airflow within the tunnel and accelerate pollutant removal. A specified number of jet fans activate, adjusting their directional angle and speed to optimize airflow direction and improve ventilation. The electrostatic precipitators activate a specified number of stages and set operating power to effectively remove particulate pollutants from the air. The activated carbon adsorption devices activate a corresponding number of stages, setting activated carbon replacement warning thresholds and operating power to adsorb harmful gases and further purify the air. Simultaneously, the system collects equipment operating parameters and adjusted air quality data, updates system parameters, and feeds them back to the multi-dimensional sensing module and the dual-drive coupled prediction module. This allows the system to promptly grasp the equipment's operating performance and changes in air quality, adjusting subsequent control strategies based on feedback information to form a closed-loop control system. This ensures that air quality, equipment energy consumption, and traffic efficiency within the tunnel are always at their optimal levels.
[0045] In summary, during peak hours in long urban highway tunnels, this intelligent control system comprehensively collects accurate data through a multi-dimensional sensing module, providing support for subsequent processing; the multi-modal fusion module outputs reliable comprehensive monitoring results through preprocessing and dynamic weight fusion algorithms; the dual-drive coupling prediction module achieves accurate pollution prediction and source tracing through flow expansion coupling, multi-dimensional dynamic balance, and three-dimensional contribution source tracing algorithms; the multi-objective optimization decision-making module constructs a three-dimensional indicator system and determines the optimal strategy using dynamic coupling optimization algorithms; and the equipment execution and feedback module drives equipment operation and forms a closed-loop control, effectively balancing air quality, energy consumption, and traffic efficiency, ensuring stable tunnel operation during peak hours.

[0048] Multidimensional perception module:
[0049] An air parameter sensor group is deployed every 80 meters along the tunnel's longitudinal direction. In the bidirectional tunnel, the groups are deployed separately for each direction of travel. Each group is equipped with CO, NOx, and PM2.5 sensors, enabling accurate monitoring of pollutant concentrations within the tunnel even under low traffic conditions, and timely detection of pollutant trends during sudden pollution events. Infrared thermal imagers are deployed at the tunnel entrance, exit, and every 1 km. Temperature and humidity sensors and visibility meters are deployed every 300 meters to monitor environmental physical parameters within the tunnel in real time, allowing for rapid assessment of environmental changes during sudden pollution events and providing data for determining the extent of pollution impact. Additional sensors are deployed 500m before the tunnel entrance and 300m after the exit. A combination of high-definition cameras and millimeter-wave radar is deployed every 800 meters inside the tunnel to accurately collect traffic flow parameters under low traffic volume, clarify vehicle traffic conditions, and facilitate analysis to determine whether sudden pollution is related to specific vehicles. A directional microphone is placed every 200 meters along the tunnel sidewall to promptly capture abnormal sounds that may accompany sudden pollution, such as vehicle malfunction noises, aiding in rapid investigation of the cause of pollution. Temperature sensors are installed on the motor windings of ventilation equipment, vibration sensors on bearings, and current sensors on the power supply of purification equipment to monitor equipment operating status in real time, ensuring normal startup and stable operation of equipment during sudden pollution events. This module collects data on pollutant concentration, traffic flow parameters, environmental physical parameters, abnormal sounds, and equipment operating status within the tunnel. All data is appended with timestamps and spatial location information, providing comprehensive and traceable raw data for subsequent modules to respond quickly and handle accurately in the event of sudden pollution. Figure 2 As shown.
[0050] Multimodal fusion module:
[0051] After receiving data from the multi-dimensional sensing module, preprocessing is performed. Kalman filtering is used to denoise the air parameter sensor data, effectively filtering out data interference and accurately capturing details of concentration changes when sudden pollution causes rapid changes in pollutant concentration. DB4 wavelet-based 3-layer decomposition denoising is used for the acoustic sensor data, clearly extracting abnormal sound information that may accompany sudden pollution, providing clear clues for tracing the pollution source. Gaussian filtering is used to denoise the image data, optimizing the quality of traffic flow images under low traffic volume, accurately identifying vehicle information, and assisting in determining whether a specific vehicle caused the sudden pollution. Based on timestamps, non-1Hz sampling data is unified to 1Hz through linear interpolation, ensuring that different types of data are synchronized in time, facilitating rapid integration and analysis of data changes before and after the sudden pollution event. Data is mapped to a 5m×5m×3m spatial grid based on tunnel mileage marker coordinates, accurately locating the spatial position of the sudden pollution within the tunnel and clarifying the pollution diffusion range. Outliers were removed using the 3σ criterion to avoid the impact of individual abnormal data caused by sudden contamination on the analysis results. Missing data were imputed using a distance-weighted average of data from adjacent time points at the same location, ensuring data integrity and providing a reliable foundation for multi-source data fusion. After preprocessing, a dynamic weighted fusion algorithm was used to fuse the multi-source data. The expression for the dynamic weighted fusion algorithm is as follows: It fully integrates information such as pollutant concentration, environmental parameters, traffic flow and abnormal sounds, and outputs comprehensive pollution monitoring results including the spatial distribution of pollutant concentration, spatiotemporal correlation characteristics and traffic flow-pollution correlation, providing key basis for the dual-drive coupled prediction module to quickly formulate response strategies.
[0052] Dual-drive coupling prediction module:

Combined with the topographical characteristics of mountain tunnels and airflow patterns, the diffusion speed and direction of sudden pollution events are quickly determined, providing a preliminary understanding of the future development trend of the pollution. The expression for the flow-diffusion coupling algorithm is: By combining a multidimensional dynamic equilibrium algorithm with AI residual correction, and considering the unique characteristics of sudden pollution events, the preliminary prediction results are precisely adjusted to improve prediction accuracy and obtain pollutant propagation prediction results. This allows for timely implementation of measures to control pollution spread. The expression for the multidimensional dynamic equilibrium algorithm is as follows: Simultaneously, a three-dimensional contribution source tracing algorithm is used to locate the source of the sudden pollution. The expression for the three-dimensional contribution source tracing algorithm is: It can quickly determine the specific location of pollution and the main vehicle models contributing to it, helping staff to quickly pinpoint the source of pollution and take targeted measures to prevent the pollution from worsening.
[0054] Multi-objective optimization decision-making module:
[0055] Based on pollutant propagation predictions and real-time tunnel traffic conditions, a three-dimensional evaluation index system encompassing air quality, energy consumption, and traffic efficiency is constructed. Air quality must meet the following requirements: average CO concentration ≤100ppm, NOx concentration ≤5ppm, PM2.5 concentration ≤0.05mg / m³ every 5 minutes; visibility ≥100m; and the percentage of areas exceeding pollutant concentration thresholds ≤5% for a duration ≤3 minutes. In the event of sudden pollution, priority is given to restoring tunnel air quality to safe standards to ensure the safety of drivers and passengers. Energy consumption is calculated based on equipment operating energy consumption and start-up / shutdown energy consumption. Operating energy consumption is calculated according to the actual operating parameters of various equipment, while start-up / shutdown energy consumption is calculated according to relevant rules. Total energy consumption is statistically analyzed hourly. While rapidly controlling sudden pollution, equipment energy consumption is rationally controlled to avoid unnecessary energy consumption. Regarding traffic efficiency, the following requirements are ensured: average hourly traffic flow ≥80% of design flow, average vehicle speed ≥60km / h, speed fluctuation coefficient ≤0.2, ≤1 congestion event per hour, and average following distance ≥50m. In handling sudden pollution, the impact on tunnel traffic is minimized to maintain normal traffic order. The Pareto optimal control policy set is solved using a dynamic coupling optimization algorithm. The expression for the dynamic coupling optimization algorithm is as follows: By comprehensively balancing the handling of sudden pollution, energy consumption control, and traffic efficiency, and combining the real-time status of the tunnel to select matching strategies, these strategies are transformed into equipment control commands to ensure rapid and efficient handling of sudden pollution.
[0056] Device execution and feedback module
[0057] Upon receiving control commands, the system drives axial flow fans, jet fans, electrostatic precipitators, and activated carbon adsorption devices. It adjusts parameters such as the number, position, power, and angle of these devices according to the commands, for example, increasing the number of axial flow fans, increasing the speed of jet fans, and increasing the operating power of electrostatic precipitators and activated carbon adsorption devices. This rapidly enhances ventilation and purification capabilities, accelerates pollutant discharge and purification, and quickly restores air quality within the tunnel. The system collects equipment operating parameters and adjusted air quality data to monitor equipment operation and pollution control effectiveness in real time. It updates system parameters and feeds them back to the multi-dimensional sensing module and the dual-drive coupled prediction module, allowing the system to adjust control strategies promptly based on feedback. For example, as air quality gradually improves, it appropriately adjusts equipment operating parameters to reduce energy consumption, forming a closed-loop control system. This effectively handles sudden pollution events while balancing energy consumption and traffic efficiency, ensuring the overall stable operation of the tunnel.
[0058] In summary, for sudden pollution scenarios with low traffic volume in mountainous highway tunnels, the system's multi-dimensional sensing module promptly captures pollution and equipment data; the multi-modal fusion module preprocesses the data and outputs comprehensive monitoring results using a dynamic weighted fusion algorithm; the dual-drive coupled prediction module quickly predicts pollution propagation and locates the source; the multi-objective optimization decision-making module constructs a three-dimensional indicator system and formulates the optimal strategy using a dynamic coupled optimization algorithm; and the equipment execution and feedback module efficiently drives equipment to purify pollution, while simultaneously providing feedback data to form a closed loop. This approach rapidly handles sudden pollution while balancing energy consumption and traffic efficiency, ensuring the safe operation of the tunnel.
