Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of intelligent management technology for tunnel construction, and in particular relates to a method for evaluating the efficiency of multi-tunnel excavation and optimizing resource allocation. Background Technology

[0002] As a backbone node in infrastructure networks such as highways, railways, and water conservancy, tunnel engineering is experiencing a continuous increase in construction scale and complexity, leading to greater challenges in construction, management, and control. Tunnel construction efficiency, a key control indicator, directly impacts project economics and schedule controllability. Due to significant differences in geological conditions, construction methods, and resource allocation among different tunnel projects, conventional methods struggle to establish a unified and comparable benchmark framework, making it difficult to compare and evaluate excavation efficiency across projects. This hinders the coordinated management of multi-tunnel cluster construction by construction managers, making it difficult to effectively assess the advanced level of each tunnel's construction and the redundancy of construction resources. Existing methods for evaluating tunnel excavation efficiency typically rely on manual calculations, and the evaluation and horizontal comparison of excavation efficiency within a tunnel group depend heavily on managerial experience, resulting in a high degree of subjectivity.

[0003] Data envelopment analysis (DEA), as a multi-input, multi-output efficiency evaluation method, has been initially applied in the field of engineering efficiency evaluation, providing a possibility for solving the problem of horizontal comparison among multiple decision-making units. However, existing DEA research has not yet solved the problem of unified evaluation and resource optimization under heterogeneous conditions of multiple tunnels, mainly due to the following limitations: Existing technologies often rely on macro-level indicators in their DEA model index systems (such as funding and number of patents in enterprise innovation investment optimization problems; water quality and per capita GDP in water resource benefit accounting problems). These indicators are not suitable for dynamic investment scenarios involving multiple processes and resources in tunnel construction. Furthermore, they focus on vertical optimization of a single decision-making unit (such as investment adjustments for a single enterprise in different years; water resource benefit accounting for a region in different years) without involving horizontal comparisons of multiple objects, thus failing to address the efficiency comparison problem between multiple tunnels. In some existing technologies, the decision-making units are assumed to satisfy the homogeneity assumption. Under the engineering context of this invention, this cannot solve the incomparability problem caused by objective differences in the external environment (such as the surrounding rock grade in tunnel engineering), resulting in the evaluation results failing to truly reflect the management efficiency level.

[0004] Existing DEA-related research or indicator systems are not compatible with tunnel construction scenarios or fail to effectively address the heterogeneity between decision-making units, and therefore cannot be directly applied to the horizontal comparison of excavation efficiency and resource optimization of multiple tunnel clusters. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings in existing technologies, this invention provides a method for evaluating the efficiency of multi-tunnel excavation and optimizing resource allocation. This method solves the problems of existing data envelopment analysis-related research or indicator systems not matching tunnel construction scenarios, failing to effectively handle heterogeneity between decision-making units, and not being directly applicable to horizontal comparisons and resource optimization of excavation efficiency in multi-tunnel clusters.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is: a method for evaluating the efficiency of multi-tunnel excavation and optimizing resource allocation, comprising the following steps: S1. By classifying the information characteristics of the tunnel's basic information and construction information, a tunnel excavation input index system and a tunnel excavation output index system are constructed. Indicators are collected from the tunnel group to obtain the tunnel excavation input index and tunnel excavation output index. S2. Using the evaluation period as the unit and the surrounding rock grade as the grouping condition, perform data preprocessing and standardization on the input and output indicators of each tunnel excavation to obtain the processed input and output indicators. S3. Construct a decision-making unit from the excavation data of each tunnel at the same surrounding rock grade during the evaluation period, and establish a variable return on scale model based on standardized input-output indicators. S4. Based on the variable returns to scale model, a pre-defined advanced evaluation of the excavation efficiency of multiple tunnels is conducted to obtain the advanced evaluation results. S5. Based on the results of the advanced evaluation, slack variables are introduced to construct and solve a data envelopment analysis model for excavation efficiency. The projection points of the production front are obtained, and adjustments are made to optimize the allocation of construction resources, thus completing the advanced evaluation and resource allocation optimization.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention constructs a tunnel excavation input index system and a tunnel excavation output index system adapted to tunnel engineering, constructs a surrounding rock grade definition and splits decision-making units, establishes a scale return variable model, and conducts advanced evaluation of the excavation efficiency of multiple tunnels and optimization analysis of tunnel construction resource allocation. This solves the problem of incomparable excavation efficiency caused by objective differences such as geological conditions among different tunnels, and provides quantitative decision support for the optimal allocation of construction resources.

[0008] Further, S1 includes the following steps: S101. Classify the tunnel foundation information and construction information by information features to obtain information feature categories that include engineering feature parameters, construction methods, external environment, human resources and mechanical equipment. S102. By selecting non-adjustable input indicators that include tunnel cross-sectional dimensions, number of blast holes, excavation method, surrounding rock grade, and gas grade in the information feature category, and adjustable input indicators that include the number of drilling workers, number of scaffolding workers, personnel work efficiency, number of transport vehicles, and number of loaders, a tunnel excavation input indicator system is obtained. S103. Based on the actual situation of tunnel excavation, a tunnel excavation output index system is obtained by selecting excavation advance, total excavation time, drilling time, charging and blasting time, muck removal time, frame erection time, and shotcreting time. S104. Based on the tunnel excavation input index system and the tunnel excavation output index system, and using a data collection method that combines automated means with manual data entry, indexes are collected for each tunnel and each excavation cycle in the tunnel group to obtain the tunnel excavation input index and the tunnel excavation output index.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned further solutions are as follows: By deeply integrating the background of tunnel engineering, this invention constructs an input-output index system adapted to tunnel engineering, and divides the input indicators into non-adjustable input indicators and adjustable input indicators, so that the evaluation results can clearly distinguish the contribution of objective conditions and subjective management level, and provide a basis for subsequent resource optimization.

[0010] Furthermore, S2 includes the following steps: S201. Using the evaluation period as the unit and the surrounding rock grade as the grouping condition, the excavation cycle data of each tunnel under the same surrounding rock grade are collected to obtain the dataset to be evaluated under the corresponding evaluation period and the corresponding surrounding rock grade. S202. Select input indicators for tunnel excavation to obtain quantitative input indicators including excavation method and gas level, and qualitative input indicators including cross-sectional size, number of blast holes, number of drilling workers, number of erection workers, personnel work efficiency, number of transport vehicles and number of loaders. S203. Perform scale-weighted preprocessing on the quantitative input indicators in the dataset to be evaluated to obtain the preprocessed quantitative input indicators. S204. Quantify the proportion of each qualitative component in the qualitative indicators of inputs in the evaluation dataset in terms of the application progress of each component in the evaluation period to the total progress in the evaluation period, and obtain the preprocessed qualitative indicators of inputs. S205. Perform advance-weighted preprocessing on the tunnel excavation output indicators in the dataset to be evaluated to obtain the preprocessed output indicators. S206. Minimum-maximum standardization is applied to the pre-processed quantitative input indicators, pre-processed qualitative input indicators, and pre-processed output indicators. Among them, time-consuming output indicators, including total excavation time, drilling time, charging and blasting time, slag removal time, frame erection time, and shotcreting time, are subjected to negative minimum-maximum standardization and integrated to obtain the processed input-output indicators.

[0011] Furthermore, the calculation expression for the preprocessed quantitative input index is as follows: ; in, This indicates the quantitative indicators of pretreated inputs. This represents the total number of cycles within the range to be evaluated. Indicates the first within the scope to be evaluated r The current quantitative indicator data in each cycle, Indicates the first item within the scope to be evaluated. r One cycle of tunnel advance, Indicates the first j Total tunnel advance within the evaluation range.

[0012] Furthermore, the calculation expression for the preprocessed qualitative input indicators is as follows: ; in, This indicates the qualitative indicators of inputs after preprocessing. Indicates the types of qualitative components. Indicates qualitative components Application length within the range to be evaluated. Indicates the first j Total tunnel advance within the evaluation range.

[0013] Furthermore, the expression for the preprocessed output index is as follows: ; in, This indicates the output indicators after preprocessing. This represents the total number of cycles within the range to be evaluated. Indicates the first within the scope to be evaluated h The tunnel excavation output index in the first r The output value in each cycle, Indicates the first item within the scope to be evaluated. r One cycle of tunnel advance, Indicates the first j Total tunnel advance within the evaluation range.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned further solutions are as follows: This invention preprocesses the tunnel excavation input indicators by dividing them into quantitative and qualitative input indicators, and performs advance-weighted preprocessing on the tunnel excavation output indicators based on the proportion of tunnel advance in each excavation cycle within the evaluation range to the total advance within the evaluation range, thus obtaining the preprocessed output indicators. Furthermore, through minimum-maximum standardization, standardized input-output indicators are obtained. By performing advance-weighted preprocessing on multiple excavation cycle data, the discrete cycle data of the construction process is transformed into comparable and modelable data objects, enabling different tunnels to be compared in excavation efficiency under a unified framework, and realizing the horizontal comparison of excavation efficiency of multiple tunnels under heterogeneous conditions.

[0015] Furthermore, step S3 includes the following steps: S301. Construct a decision unit from the excavation data of each tunnel at the same surrounding rock grade within the evaluation period, and form a corresponding set of decision units within the same surrounding rock grade. S302. Based on the set of decision-making units within the same surrounding rock grade, construct the input vector and output vector of each decision-making unit according to the standardized input-output indicators. S303. Based on the set of decision-making units within the same surrounding rock grade, establish a variable return on scale model according to the input and output vectors of each decision-making unit.

[0016] Furthermore, the expression for the variable returns to scale model is as follows: ; in, Indicates the first The pure technical efficiency of each decision-making unit to be evaluated. Indicates the sequence number of the decision-making unit to be evaluated, and , Indicates the number of decision-making units. This indicates the sequence number of the decision-making unit involved in constructing the production frontier. Indicating the evaluation of the first When the first decision-making unit to be evaluated is... The linear combination coefficients corresponding to each decision unit This indicates the quantity of input indicators for tunnel excavation. Indicates the first The decision-making unit corresponding to the first Input index values ​​for tunnel excavation, Indicates the first The first decision-making unit to be evaluated corresponds to the first Input index values ​​for tunnel excavation, This indicates the quantity of output indicators from tunnel excavation. Indicates the first The decision-making unit corresponding to the first Various tunnel excavation output index values, Indicates the first The first decision-making unit to be evaluated corresponds to the first Output index values ​​for tunnel excavation.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned further solutions are as follows: By dividing the decision-making units according to the surrounding rock grade, the present invention divides the excavation data under different geological conditions into independent evaluation objects, eliminating the influence of heterogeneous factors on the decision-making units. Furthermore, by constructing a variable return-to-scale model for data envelopment analysis, it can adapt to the nonlinear and non-fixed ratio changes between the input resources and efficiency output during tunnel excavation. This enables a quantitative evaluation of the pure technical efficiency of each decision-making unit, improves the objectivity of judging the advancement of multi-tunnel excavation efficiency, and provides a quantitative basis for subsequent identification of inefficient decision-making units and optimization of construction resource allocation.

[0018] Furthermore, step S4 includes the following steps: S401. Based on the variable returns to scale model, evaluate the excavation efficiency of multiple tunnels based on pure technical efficiency, obtain the pure technical efficiency value, and determine whether the current pure technical efficiency value is one. If it is, determine that the pure technical efficiency is strongly effective and obtain the pure technical efficiency evaluation result. If not, then the pure technical efficiency is determined to be ineffective, and the pure technical efficiency evaluation result is obtained; S402. Based on the variable returns to scale model, the comprehensive efficiency value is calculated by removing the linear combination coefficient constraint, and it is determined whether the current comprehensive efficiency value is one. If it is, the data envelopment analysis is determined to be strongly effective, and the comprehensive efficiency evaluation result is obtained. If not, the data envelopment analysis is deemed invalid, and the overall efficiency evaluation result is obtained. S403. Based on the current pure technical efficiency value and the current comprehensive efficiency value, the scale efficiency evaluation result is obtained by calculating the scale efficiency. S404. The results of the pure technical efficiency evaluation, the comprehensive efficiency evaluation, and the scale efficiency evaluation are integrated to obtain the advanced evaluation results.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned further solutions are as follows: This invention comprehensively evaluates excavation efficiency by adopting three dimensions: overall efficiency, pure technical efficiency, and scale efficiency, which assists engineering managers in scientifically judging the current overall input-output effect, construction resource utilization capacity and construction organization level, and whether the construction scale is optimal.

[0020] Furthermore, step S5 includes the following steps: S501. Based on the results of the advanced evaluation, select decision units that are not effective in data envelopment analysis as the excavation process to be optimized. S502. Based on the input index values, output index values, and linear combination coefficients of each decision-making unit, an excavation efficiency data envelopment analysis model with slack variables is constructed by introducing input slack variables and output slack variables into the data envelopment analysis constraints; wherein, the input slack variables are used to characterize input redundancy, and the output slack variables are used to characterize output insufficiency. S503. The decision unit corresponding to the excavation process to be optimized is taken as the decision unit to be evaluated. By solving the data envelopment analysis model of excavation efficiency with slack variables, the optimal efficiency value, optimal input slack variable and optimal output slack variable corresponding to the excavation process to be optimized are obtained. S504. In response to the fact that the optimal input slack variable or the optimal output slack variable corresponding to the excavation process to be optimized is not all zero, the projection point of the production front surface of the excavation process to be optimized is calculated based on the optimal efficiency value, the optimal input slack variable and the optimal output slack variable corresponding to the excavation process to be optimized. S505. Based on the projection points of the production front surface, optimize and adjust the allocation of construction resources for the excavation process to be optimized, and complete the advanced evaluation and resource allocation optimization.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned further solutions are as follows: By introducing slack variables and projection analysis, this invention identifies redundant adjustable input indicators, provides specific optimization values, and offers quantitative guidance for resource allocation optimization schemes.

[0027] S104. Based on the tunnel excavation input index system and the tunnel excavation output index system, and using a data collection method that combines automated means with manual data entry, indexes are collected for each tunnel and each excavation cycle in the tunnel group to obtain the tunnel excavation input index and the tunnel excavation output index.

[0028] In this embodiment, the process of collecting tunnel basic information and construction information for each cycle is carried out using a combination of automated methods and manual data entry.

[0029] S2. Using the evaluation period as the unit and the surrounding rock grade as the grouping condition, perform data preprocessing and standardization on the input and output indicators of each tunnel excavation to obtain the processed input and output indicators. The specific steps are as follows: S201. Using the evaluation period as the unit and the surrounding rock grade as the grouping condition, the excavation cycle data of each tunnel under the same surrounding rock grade are collected to obtain the dataset to be evaluated under the corresponding evaluation period and the corresponding surrounding rock grade. S202.

Among them, time-consuming output indicators, including total excavation time, drilling time, charging and blasting time, slag removal time, frame erection time, and shotcreting time, are subjected to negative minimum-maximum standardization and integrated to obtain the processed input-output indicators.

[0030] In this embodiment, a preprocessing step is performed on the input-output indicators of the excavation cycle within the tunnel evaluation area. The tunnel excavation input and output indicators for each tunnel excavation cycle are preprocessed sequentially using the evaluation period as the unit, followed by minimum-maximum standardization. For example, if the overall data includes ten months of data, the evaluation area is ten months. If the excavation efficiency is evaluated for each month, the evaluation period is one month. Specifically: Data preprocessing is performed on a time-period basis, and quantitative indicators for tunnel excavation inputs include: tunnel cross-sectional dimensions.

Indicates the first j Total tunnel advance within the evaluation scope; Due to the surrounding rock grade The impact on the excavation efficiency of different tunnels is particularly critical. Therefore, the excavation efficiency of different tunnels under different surrounding rock grades will be analyzed and evaluated in the subsequent steps. All tunnel excavation output indicators are quantitative indicators. For example, the tunnel excavation output indicator includes: excavation progress.

[0031] S3. Construct a decision-making unit from the excavation data of each tunnel within the same surrounding rock grade during the evaluation period, and establish a variable return on scale model based on standardized input-output indicators.

[0033] S4. Based on the variable returns to scale model, a pre-defined advanced evaluation of the excavation efficiency of multiple tunnels is conducted to obtain the advanced evaluation results. The specific steps are as follows: S401. Based on the variable returns to scale model, evaluate the excavation efficiency of multiple tunnels based on pure technical efficiency, obtain the pure technical efficiency value, and determine whether the current pure technical efficiency value is one. If it is, determine that the pure technical efficiency is strongly effective and obtain the pure technical efficiency evaluation result. If not, then the pure technical efficiency is determined to be ineffective, and the pure technical efficiency evaluation result is obtained.

[0034] In this embodiment, the efficiency advancement of multiple tunnel excavation is evaluated based on the tunnel excavation input index system, tunnel excavation output index system, decision-making unit, and BCC model. The evaluation includes evaluation based on pure technical efficiency, evaluation based on comprehensive efficiency, and evaluation based on scale efficiency. An evaluation based on pure technical efficiency is conducted, as follows: Pure technical efficiency is mainly used to measure the utilization of construction resources during this tunnel excavation process. It is solved using the BCC model to obtain the pure technical efficiency of the current tunnel excavation process. And make a judgment; when If the technical efficiency is deemed strong and effective, it indicates that the construction resources in the current excavation process can be fully utilized and the construction organization is reasonable. when If the pure technical efficiency is deemed ineffective, it indicates that there are technical inefficiencies in the tunnel excavation process for a given scale of investment. For example, there may be problems with the arrangement of the construction process and the level of construction automation, resulting in insufficient utilization of construction resources. This leads to a pure technical efficiency evaluation result based on pure technical efficiency.

[0035] S402. Based on the variable returns to scale model, the comprehensive efficiency value is calculated by removing the linear combination coefficient constraint, and it is determined whether the current comprehensive efficiency value is one.
