The effect of EEMD and SABO-BP algorithms on the accuracy of vehicle weigh-in-motion (WIM)
摘要
The vehicle weigh-in-motion (WIM) system is an effective means to measure the weight of moving vehicles. To improve the weighing accuracy, this paper proposes a WIM model based on subtraction-average-based optimizer (SABO) algorithm optimized back propagation (BP) neural network. Firstly, the structure and principles of the designed WIM system are introduced. Subsequently, the sampling signals of the WIM system are decomposed and reconstructed using the ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) algorithm. Then the BP neural network model optimized by SABO algorithm to establish the SABO-BP vehicle WIM model. After parameter configuration and training, the model is utilized to predict the vehicle total weight and axle load. Through comparative analysis in different models, the SABO-BP vehicle WIM model exhibits fast convergence speed and high accuracy, with an average error less than 1 % in predicting total weight. Taking two-axle vehicles as an example, calibration is carried out by comparing our WIM measurement results with static vehicle weight. The experiment results shows that the peaks of the axle load waveform restored by the SABO-BP WIM model are closest to static axle load.
