摘要

管线布局设计是建筑工程设计关键任务之一。当然,管线布局仍以工程师手工设计为主,费时费力。引入自动化方法对简化管线设计流程、降低设计师工作负荷、节约时间具有重要意义。本研究提出了一种基于深度强化学习(DRL)的管线三维布局生成方法。首先,本研究通过抽象三维空间几何特征构建了训练环境,并基于管道长度、弯头和安装距离三个约束定义勒奖励函数。从而,建立了通过智能体和训练环境相互交互实现了DRL模型的训练。最后,我们选择训练效果最好的DRL模型在单根管道设计中做了验证。结果表明,相比传统算法,DRL模型可以在更短的时间内完成完成管道布设任务,且设计质量更高,并在复杂管线设计中体现出巨大潜力。

The layout design of pipelines is a critical task in the construction industry. Currently, pipeline layout is designed manually by engineers, which is time-consuming and laborious. Automating and streamlining this process can reduce the burden on engineers and save time. In this paper, we propose a method for generating three-dimensional layout of pipelines based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL). Firstly, we abstract the geometric features of space to establish a training environment and define reward functions based on three constraints: pipeline length, elbow, and installation distance. Next, we collect data through interactions between the agent and the environment and train the DRL model. Finally, we use the well-trained DRL model to automatically design a single pipeline. Our results demonstrate that DRL models can complete the pipeline layout task in space in a much shorter time than traditional algorithms while ensuring high-quality layout outcomes.
