Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of track inspection instrument accuracy assessment, and in particular to a method for evaluating the accuracy of an inertial navigation track inspection instrument using an ultra-short track. Background Art

[0002] The inertial navigation track inspection instrument is a mobile track inspection equipment that uses an inertial navigation system and a total station / GNSS as core measurement equipment for positioning and attitude measurement. It is also equipped with sensors such as gauge and odometer. During the measurement process, the inertial navigation track inspection instrument moves on the track, and each measurement sensor synchronously collects and records the original measurement data, which is then sent to the multi-sensor data fusion software for positioning and attitude solution to determine the six degrees of freedom information (three-dimensional position and attitude) of the inertial navigation track inspection instrument frame movement. Combined with the measured gauge, the three-dimensional coordinates of the track centerline and the left and right rails can be calculated. Combined with the track design line type, the lateral and vertical deviations of the left and right rails are calculated (referring to the deformation of the track, not the measurement error), and the various track geometric parameters such as level, distortion, gauge change rate, and horizontal change rate are further obtained. The accuracy of the measured lateral and vertical deviations of the track is a key indicator for the accuracy assessment of the inertial navigation track inspection instrument.

[0003] Before the newly produced or repaired inertial navigation track inspection instrument is delivered to the user, the measurement accuracy of the inertial navigation track inspection instrument needs to be evaluated. Usually, the measurement is carried out on the actual track, and the horizontal and vertical deviations of the measured track of the inertial navigation track inspection instrument are repeatedly analyzed for accuracy. In order to fully test the accuracy of the inertial navigation track measuring instrument, 1 to 2 kilometers of railway tracks need to be measured, but the resources of railway skylight points are very limited, and the time for normal construction and maintenance is often very tight. It is very difficult and inconvenient to coordinate the skylight points to go online for equipment testing. The construction of a 1 to 2 km dedicated inertial navigation track inspection instrument test site occupies a huge area and is expensive. The construction of a railway track no longer than 10 meters can effectively solve the problem of large area and high cost, but there is currently a lack of a method for evaluating the accuracy of inertial navigation track inspection instruments using ultra-short tracks. Summary of the invention

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for evaluating the accuracy of an inertial navigation track inspection instrument using an ultra-short track.
