Abstract

Objective: To enhance the intelligence and modularization of track equipment design, optimize the decision-making process, and improve the adaptability and scalability of product families. Method: The study integrates the AHP-QFD approach to analyze user demands and technical features, employs K-means clustering to categorize technical characteristics, and develops a genetic matching scheme for product family modules, including general, variable, and alternative modules. Based on this, a modular intelligent track inspection and maintenance equipment design scheme is proposed. Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that this method optimizes the modular configuration of track equipment, enhances universality, flexibility, and expandability, and exhibits superior performance in intelligent inspection, automated maintenance, and energy efficiency, thereby increasing market competitiveness. This research provides a systematic and efficient track equipment product family design approach, offering theoretical support and practical reference for the intelligent and standardized development of future rail transit equipment.
