Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of assessment and decision-making technology, and more specifically, to a method for intelligent assessment and repair decision-making of drainage pipeline defect levels based on big data. Background Technology

[0002] As a core component of urban infrastructure, drainage pipelines play a vital role in rainwater drainage and sewage transport. Their operational status directly affects urban water quality, flood control and drainage capacity, and the living environment of residents. With the advancement of urbanization, the service life of existing drainage pipelines continues to increase. Affected by various factors such as geological subsidence, media corrosion, construction defects, and external disturbances, these pipelines are prone to various structural and functional defects, requiring timely defect assessment and repair.

[0003] Currently, urban drainage pipe networks cover a wide area and have complex pipeline layouts. Under the traditional operation and maintenance management model, the investigation, assessment, and repair decisions regarding pipeline defects rely heavily on manpower and resources. To ensure the stable and efficient operation of drainage pipe network systems and improve the targetedness and timeliness of operation and maintenance management, there is an urgent need within the industry for accurate identification, scientific assessment, and reasonable repair decisions regarding drainage pipeline defects. The research and application of related technologies have become an important direction for promoting the intelligent development of drainage pipe network operation and maintenance.

[0004] However, it still has some drawbacks in practical use, such as: 1. Data collection is limited in scope and lacks standardization, relying heavily on single detection methods to obtain localized data. This makes it difficult to comprehensively cover information such as pipe segment attributes, operating status, and environmental impact. The data is severely fragmented, failing to provide complete and unified data support for assessment decisions. This results in a weak assessment foundation and affects the accuracy of subsequent processes.

[0005] 2. Defect assessments often rely on manual experience or simple model calculations, which are highly subjective and do not take into account the interrelationships of various elements in the pipeline network. This makes it difficult to accurately quantify the defect level and evolution trend, and is prone to assessment bias. Consequently, maintenance plans lack specificity and cannot efficiently solve actual pipeline problems.

[0006] 3. The risk quantification dimensions are one-sided, focusing only on the single dimension of structural safety while ignoring key factors such as functional protection and environmental impact. Furthermore, the weight allocation relies on subjective settings, which cannot objectively reflect the true risk status of the pipeline section, resulting in low credibility of risk assessment results and difficulty in guiding scientific operation and maintenance.

[0007] 4. Maintenance decisions lack dynamic adaptability and are mostly based on static solutions. They do not fully consider real-time changes in the pipeline network status and constraints such as budget and construction resources. The decision-making flexibility is insufficient, making it difficult to adapt to the dynamic operation and maintenance needs of complex pipeline networks, resulting in low operation and maintenance efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies of the prior art, this invention provides a method for intelligent assessment and repair decision-making of drainage pipeline defect levels based on big data, which addresses the problems mentioned in the background art through the following solutions.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for intelligent assessment and repair decision-making of drainage pipeline defect levels based on big data, comprising: S1: Intelligent acquisition and standardized processing of multi-source data: Construct a five-dimensional acquisition framework to collect pipeline attributes, defect status, operating parameters, environmental factors and business data. After preprocessing and quality control, a standardized data set with spatiotemporal alignment is formed through time, space and numerical standardization. S2: Pipeline Knowledge Graph Construction: Based on a standardized dataset, design a knowledge graph ontology framework and extract entity instances and relationships to form an initial knowledge graph. The graph neural network then learns and outputs high-dimensional feature vectors of pipe segments. S3: Intelligent assessment of prognostic defect levels: Based on standardized datasets and high-dimensional feature vectors of pipe segments, the defect level is quantitatively determined. By integrating physical laws and data-driven models, the spatiotemporal evolution trend of defects is predicted. The risk of pipe segments is quantified in multiple dimensions and the total risk is calculated to generate a standardized assessment report. S4: Multi-agent Co-evolutionary Decision Making: Based on defect level, evolution trend and total risk data, four types of functional agents are constructed. Through multi-objective optimization and multi-agent reinforcement learning, collaborative decision making is achieved, and repair decision schemes are output and dynamic decision graphs are generated in a priority-stratified manner.

[0010] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows: 1. Construct a five-dimensional full-scenario data acquisition framework to achieve comprehensive coverage of multi-source data. Through preprocessing, quality control and standardization, form a spatiotemporally aligned data set to solve the problems of data fragmentation and insufficient standardization in traditional technologies, and lay a solid data foundation for evaluation and decision-making.

[0011] 2. By introducing knowledge graph and graph neural network technologies, the relationships between various elements of the pipeline network can be accurately represented and the high-dimensional features of the pipeline segments can be mined. Combined with a model that integrates physical laws and data-driven approaches, the defect level can be accurately determined and the evolution trend can be predicted, thereby improving the objectivity and accuracy of the assessment.

[0012] 3. Establish a multi-dimensional risk quantification system, comprehensively consider risks from structural safety, functional assurance, and environmental impact, and use the entropy weight method to achieve objective weight allocation, truly reflect the risk status of the pipeline section, provide a scientific basis for maintenance priority ranking, and improve the comprehensiveness and credibility of risk assessment.

[0013] 4. Based on multi-agent collaborative decision-making, a dynamic decision graph is generated, which can dynamically adjust maintenance plans in combination with real-time pipeline network data, taking into account multiple constraints such as budget and construction resources. It has strong adaptability and flexibility, effectively adapts to the dynamic operation and maintenance needs of complex pipeline networks, and improves the scientific nature of decision-making and execution efficiency.

Output hidden feature vectors containing information about their own attributes, topology, and neighborhood relationships. (32 dimensions) This vector serves as the input feature for the subsequent defect level assessment model.

As a physical constraint loss, mean square error loss is used to calculate the difference between the corrosion rate predicted by the model and the value calculated by the above physical equation; To balance the hyperparameters, they were determined using 5-fold cross-validation, with values ​​ranging from [0.1, 1.0]. The optimal value was selected based on minimizing the total loss of the validation set.
