Service Performance Evaluation of High-filled Embankment for Heavy Haul Railways in Loess Areas Based on DS Evidence Theory and Combination Weighting Improved Extension Method
To effectively evaluate the deformation and stability of high-filled embankments for heavy haul railways in lo-ess areas,based on the DS evidence theory improved by evidence's credibility to fuse the value of importance,inde-pendence and discrimination of the primary evaluation indicators from the primary service performance evaluation indica-tor database,the optimal service performance evaluation indicator system was established for high-filled embankments in heavy-haul railways.Meanwhile,based on combination weighting improved extension method,a multi-level comprehen-sive evaluation model was presented for the service performance of high-filled embankments of heavy haul railways,while two sections of the Dazhun railway and Bazhun railway were evaluated.The results show that the two high-filled embank-ments have poor and ordinary performance grades respectively,with both passing the validity test.Furthermore,the method proposed in the paper can more accurately evaluate the service performance of high-filled embankments than the cloud model,as well as provide more thorough and objective high-filled embankment evaluation results than the Railway Subgrade Major Maintenance Rules.The study's findings are anticipated to provide reference for evaluating the service performance of high-filled embankments for heavy-haul railways in loess areas.
