Even though benefitting from deep learning, the decision-making still faces the problem of maintenance data uncertainty. The data uncertainty derives from imperfect road information collection and arbitrary selection of maintenance plans. Such uncertainty always leads to unreasonable maintenance decision-making. This study proposes an evidential approach using information entropy (IE) and Dempster–Shafer theory (DST) to capture and handle uncertainty in the decision-making of project-level road maintenance. The approach first uses an IE-based judgment method (IE-based method) to capture and observe quantitative data uncertainty. The DST-based method is then developed to handle maintenance data uncertainty through utilizing evidential neural network and set-valued decision-making. A numerical experiment is performed on the maintenance data with 280 km of semi-rigid base highways in China. The results indicate that the IE-based method can measure the data uncertainty in the information of road sections. The DST-based method captures the cautious intuition on the selection of maintenance plans, thereby reducing the decision error rate by over 14% under specific conditions when facing data uncertainty.","PeriodicalId":156,"journal":{"name":"Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.775,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142601117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This causes performance degradation. To solve this problem, it is necessary to handle data complexity and uncertainty. This study proposes a multimodal deep learning model that can focus on damaged regions using text data related to damage in images, such as materials and components. Furthermore, by adjusting the effect of attention maps on damage‐level classification performance based on the confidence calculated when estimating these maps, the proposed method realizes an accurate damage‐level classification. Our contribution is the development of a model with an end‐to‐end multimodal attention mechanism that can simultaneously consider both text and image data and the confidence of the attention map. Finally, experiments using real images validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":156,"journal":{"name":"Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.775,"publicationDate":"2024-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142597433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study proposes a short‐time Fourier transform‐based long short‐term memory (STFT‐LSTM) model to improve estimation performance in the presence of noise and ensure estimation robustness. This model enables robust estimations in the presence of noise by positioning an STFT layer before feeding the data into the LSTM layer. The output transformed into the time‐frequency domain by the STFT layer is learned by the LSTM model. The robustness of the proposed model was validated using a numerical model with three degrees of freedom at various signal‐to‐noise ratio levels, and its robustness against impulse and periodic noise was verified. Experimental validation assessed the estimation robustness under impact load and verified the robustness against environmental noise in the acquired acceleration response.","PeriodicalId":156,"journal":{"name":"Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.775,"publicationDate":"2024-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142597435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A promising approach is to directly use vehicle dynamic responses to assess the impact of track irregularities. However, the computational cost of obtaining the dynamic response of the vehicle body using dynamics simulation methods is large. To this end, this study proposes a physics‐informed neural operator framework for vehicle–track spatially coupled dynamics (PINO‐VTSCD) calculation, which can effectively acquire the vehicle dynamic response. The backbone structure of PINO‐VTSCD is established by the branched Fourier neural operator, which features one branch for outputting car body responses and the other branch for estimating the responses of bogie frames, wheelsets, and rails. The relative L2 loss (<jats:italic>rLSE</jats:italic>) of PINO‐VTSCD under the optimal hyperparameter combination is 4.96%, which is 57% lower than the convolutional neural network‐gated recurrent unit model. Evaluation cases from large‐scale simulations and real‐world track irregularities show that the proposed framework can achieve fast solution in scenarios such as different wavelength‐depth combinations and different wavelength ranges. Compared with the traditional vehicle–track coupled model, the speedup of the PINO‐VTSCD model is 32x. The improved computational efficiency of the proposed model can support many railway engineering tasks that require repetitive calculations.","PeriodicalId":156,"journal":{"name":"Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.775,"publicationDate":"2024-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142566141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study introduces a deep neural network (DNN) approach that combines summarizing statistics (SS) and transfer learning (TL)—termed the SSTL‐DNN approach—to address data scarcity in modeling composite materials. The computational novelty lies in the SS method's ability to extract comprehensive information from limited datasets by converting complex constitutive laws into concise statistical representations, thereby enabling efficient and effective model training. Simultaneously, the TL method enhances computational efficiency by leveraging knowledge from related tasks with abundant data to improve learning in the target task with scarce data. This combination not only reduces dependency on large datasets but also significantly improves model generalization. The proposed SSTL‐DNN approach is validated through two case studies: fiber‐reinforced polymer confined concrete and engineered cementitious composites. In both case studies, the SSTL‐DNN model reduces the required dataset size by up to 75% and decreases the validation error by 39%, compared to traditional deep learning models. These results demonstrate that the SSTL‐DNN approach not only overcomes data scarcity but also provides accurate predictions and generalization to unseen data, offering a practical solution for modeling composite materials with limited data.","PeriodicalId":156,"journal":{"name":"Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering","volume":"116 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.775,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142561895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to assess signal control efficiency under various scenarios, an innovative evaluation index termed synthetic delay is introduced based on the analysis of traffic dynamics at intersections. Considering the formation and dissipation of queue, and flow fluctuation of incoming traffic, it automatically evaluates control delay and throughput with distinctive significances. The distributed adaptive control method calculates the optimal green time in real time to minimize total synthetic delay at intersections. Furthermore, the coordination of advisory speed with the signal control schemes is addressed to ensure smooth progressions for vehicles. The proposed method considers the saturation of traffic and upstream traffic flow changes, leading to adaptability to changing traffic scenarios and effective coordination of traffic control. Several simulations were conducted and compared with the proposed method with other control methods.

The controller at each intersection in the network optimizes its signal control decisions based on a prediction of the future traffic demand as an independent agent. The asynchronous framework decouples the entangled interdependence between decision‐making and state prediction among different agents in decentralized coordinated decision‐making problems, enabling agents to proceed with collaborative decision‐making without waiting for other agents’ decisions. Within the proposed ADCSC framework, each controller dynamically optimizes its signal timing strategy with a unique rolling horizon scheme. The scheme's individualized parameters for each controller are determined based on the vehicle travel time between the adjacent intersections, ensuring that controllers can make informed control decisions with accurate arrival flow information from upstream intersections. The signal optimization problem is formulated as a mixed integer linear program model, which adopts a flexible signal scheme without a fixed phase structure and sequence. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed ADCSC strategy significantly outperforms the benchmark signal coordination methods in terms of average delay, travel speed, stop numbers, and energy consumption. Experimental analysis on computation time validates the applicability of the proposed optimization model for real‐time implementation. Sensitivity analysis on key parameters in the framework is conducted, offering insights for parameter selection in practice. Furthermore, the ADCSC framework is extended to a road network in Qinzhou City, China, with 45 signalized intersections, demonstrating its effectiveness and scalability in the real‐world road network.","PeriodicalId":156,"journal":{"name":"Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.775,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142488875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
