Embodiment 1

[0085] Embodiment 1: as figure 1 As shown, the core of the digital track map-assisted train positioning method studied in the present invention is the map-assisted train positioning algorithm. The map-assisted train positioning system can be roughly divided into three modules: data extraction and processing, GPS integrity monitoring and train positioning calculation. These three modules, although structurally independent, are interrelated in each computing cycle. The map-assisted train positioning system includes two main sub-algorithms, the digital track map-assisted GPS integrity monitoring algorithm and the train positioning solution algorithm. The input of the system includes: observation data such as satellite ephemeris and pseudorange from GPS receivers, and a digital orbit map database containing precise geographic information of orbits. The output of the system is an estimate of the train's position.

Abstract

The invention provides a method for realizing accurate train positioning by a GPS with the aid of a digital railway map. The train positioning method essentially comprises two subalgorithms, namely a GPS integrity monitoring algorithm and a train positioning calculating algorithm. The GPS integrity monitoring algorithm uses the establishment of a local coordinate system based on railways and transforms a WGS-84 coordinate to a new local coordinate system based on railways as well as uses geographic information provided by the digital railway map to establish a redundancy equation and a constraint condition so as to monitor the pseudo-range observed quantity of the GPS; the train positioning calculating algorithm is responsible for establishing a train position calculating model and a speed calculating model and integrating the two models to realize a train positioning calculating function. The train positioning method, provided by the invention, can not only effectively improve the precision and the stability of the train positioning when the GPS is complete, but also provide a train positioning result with comparatively high precision when the GPS is not complete.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of vehicle positioning, and in particular relates to a method and system for realizing accurate train positioning by using a digital track map to assist GPS. Background technique [0002] With the rapid growth of the global economy, railway transportation plays an increasingly important role in the growth of the national economy. The greater the transport capacity of railway trains, the greater the number and the faster the speed, the higher the safety requirements for train operation. The real-time and accurate tracking of the train position has become a key issue in the train operation control system. Real-time and accurate tracking of the train position is the basis for preventing train conflicts, rear-end collisions, train scheduling and automatic driving. GPS (Global Positioning System) is widely used in the precise positioning of trains and the guarantee of driving safety due to its all-weather, conti...
