Abstract

Traditional railway route selection requires manual fieldwork over long periods, which is physically demanding and subject to seasonal weather conditions, leading to an uneven annual production cycle and low efficiency. With the introduction of high-tech methods and the significant development of artificial intelligence, AI has become practical. Deep reinforcement learning, with its perceptual and decision-making capabilities, is well-suited to address route planning problems. It can be applied to modern route selection techniques by training the exploration ability of the established model using the DQN algorithm. The intelligent agent receives positive rewards when approaching the target point and negative rewards when moving away from it, aiming to optimize construction costs. Experimental results demonstrate that compared to manual selection, the intelligent route selection approach yields similar paths while significantly reducing labor costs and saving approximately 11.3% in construction expenses.
