[0002] The lateral stability of a train is an important index for judging the running performance of the train, and the main purpose is to avoid the snake instability of the train. When the train appears to be in snake instability, the wheelset lateral displacement of the train will increase, and even the wheel flange will collide with the track. In addition, the lateral vibration of the wheelset will also induce the large lateral vibration of the bogie and the car body. Once such a phenomenon occurs, the running performance of the train will deteriorate, the ride comfort will decrease, the dynamic load acting on each part of the train will increase, the wheel-rail force will rise, and the vehicle and the track line will be damaged, and even a derailment accident may occur.
[0003] When the train is running, the wheel-rail contact trajectory is constantly changing due to the influence of factors such as vehicle system characteristics, wheel-rail profile, curve line, track irregularity, etc. In order to realize the online detection of the wheel-rail contact trajectory, a specific method is used to detect the wheel-rail profile and the wheelset lateral displacement, and then the wheel-rail contact trajectory is obtained. At present, there are few online detection methods for wheel-rail relative displacement, which are mainly divided into the following three categories: (1) thermal imaging and laser detection method; (2) template matching and edge detection method; (3) virtual point detection method based on deep learning.

[0036] The application further discloses a railway vehicle derailment safety evaluation method based on a wheel-rail contact trajectory, which comprises the following steps.
[0037] S1, through kinetic simulation and bench test, a mapping relationship between safety indexes such as a derailment coefficient, a wheel load reduction rate and a wheel axle lateral force and a wheel-rail contact point position is obtained by using a force measuring wheel set.
[0038] In step S1, different positions of the wheel-rail contact point position on the tread are divided into safety levels through the mapping relationship, and a more accurate safety evaluation criterion is formulated in combination with a motion trend of the contact point.
[0039] Through kinetic simulation and bench test, a mapping relationship between safety indexes such as a derailment coefficient, a wheel load reduction rate and a wheel axle lateral force and a wheel-rail contact point position is obtained by using a force measuring wheel set, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 It can be seen from the figure that there is a relatively obvious linear relationship between the position of the outer rail wheel-rail contact point and the derailment coefficient when the position of the contact point is more than 30 mm. Different positions of the wheel-rail contact point position on the tread can be divided into safety levels through the mapping relationship, and a more accurate safety evaluation criterion is formulated in combination with a motion trend of the contact point.
[0040] S2, the collected images are preprocessed.
[0041] Step S2 further comprises the following sub-steps:
[0042] S21, the preprocessing comprises irrelevant area cropping, light supplementing processing, color space conversion, adaptive brightness correction, gray scale processing and noise reduction processing. The result is shown in FIG. Figure 3 .
[0043] S22, after the image pre-processed in step S21 is processed by Canny edge detection algorithm, rough positioning of the rail is processed, and then Hough straight line detection algorithm is used to detect the left and right edges of the rail to realize positioning of the rail.
[0044] S23, the laser track on the rail is identified and taken as a reference line, and a conversion model of pixel distance to actual distance is constructed to obtain the original profile of the wheel and the rail.
[0045] S3, the difference of profile identification caused by different angles between the laser line and the camera is measured.
[0046] In step S3, the 2D laser displacement sensor is used to measure the rail profile, and the laser line of the 2D laser displacement sensor is used as an auxiliary line to identify the rail profile.
[0047] As shown in Figure 4 , the 2D laser displacement sensor is used to measure the rail profile, and the laser line of the 2D laser displacement sensor is used as an auxiliary line to identify the rail profile, and the difference of profile identification caused by different angles between the laser line and the camera is measured. As can be seen from the results, in order to achieve sufficient identification accuracy, the angle between the laser auxiliary line of the 2D laser displacement sensor and the camera is greater than 40°.
[0048] S4, static test verification of the algorithm.
[0049] In step S4, the static test verification of the algorithm is performed, the wheelset lateral displacement curve is obtained by subtracting the distance between each frame of image, and the wheelset lateral displacement curve in time domain is restored according to the actual sampling frequency of the high-definition camera according to the sampling theorem.
[0050] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the test verification of the algorithm is performed, and the wheelset lateral displacement curve is obtained by subtracting the distance between each frame of image. Figure 5 In the figure, the maximum error is 0.2mm, and in the lower Figure 6 , the wheelset lateral displacement curve in time domain is restored according to the actual sampling frequency of the camera according to the sampling theorem.
[0051] S5, dynamic verification on a rolling vibration test bench.
[0052] In step S5, in the dynamic verification, the rollers of the test bench are adjusted by the hydraulic system of the test bench, the lateral displacement of the hydraulic system is y r , the lateral displacement of the wheel relative to the absolute coordinate system can be tested, the lateral displacement of the wheel is y w , and the lateral relative displacement of the wheel and the roller is defined as y wr1, represents the lateral relative displacement of the wheel on the rail, and the calculation formula is y wr1 = y r -y w .
[0053] In the dynamic verification process, the lateral displacement of the roller is 2mm, 4mm, 6mm and 8mm in turn, and a certain time is kept at each lateral displacement, and the lateral relative displacement y wr1 of the wheel and the roller obtained is y wr2 As shown in Figure 10 , from the results, the change laws of the two are similar, and the maximum error is not more than 0.2mm.
[0054] As shown in Figure 7 , after static verification, dynamic verification is also carried out on the rolling vibration test bed, and the verification test of the application is carried out when the vehicle dynamics rolling vibration test is carried out.
[0055] As shown in Figure 8 , the application first identifies the profiles of the wheel and the rail, then self-calibrates the camera posture, then sequentially verifies the profile identification of the wheel and the rail and the lateral displacement identification of the wheelset, and finally evaluates the safety.
