Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a method for monitoring the physiological state and positioning of personnel in underground space emergency rescue. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous expansion of human production and living scope, the development and utilization of underground resources are increasing, and the gradual migration of human activities to underground space has become an irreversible trend. The extensive use of underground space has not only improved the efficiency of land use, but also brought new challenges. In this context, the safety of underground building environment has become a focus of attention, especially the problem of emergency rescue positioning in the event of a disaster. In order to cope with these problems, a variety of wireless communication and positioning technologies have been introduced into the underground environment, such as Ultra-Wideband (UWB), Bluetooth, Inertial Navigation System (INS), etc. UWB technology is known for its high-precision positioning capability and can provide centimeter-level location information; Bluetooth is widely used in short-distance communications due to its low power consumption and wide device compatibility; INS uses accelerometers and gyroscopes to measure the motion state of objects and provide continuous position updates. In addition, geomagnetic positioning technology and physiological monitoring technology are also used to monitor the location and health status of personnel.
[0003] However, despite the outstanding performance of the above technologies in their respective fields, they face many limitations in complex underground environments. Satellite signal shielding renders traditional GPS positioning methods ineffective, while the reflection and shielding of wireless signals by building structures further exacerbate the occurrence of multipath effects and non-line-of-sight errors, resulting in a significant reduction in the accuracy of wireless positioning technologies such as UWB and Bluetooth. In emergency environments, wireless positioning and communication equipment may be displaced, powered off, dropped or damaged, making the wireless positioning system unreliable or even completely unavailable. Although inertial navigation systems can provide relatively accurate location information in the short term, their errors will gradually accumulate and become difficult to correct over time. Visual navigation that relies on optical sensing may not work properly due to factors such as fire, smoke, and dust. These factors work together to make it difficult for existing positioning mechanisms and technologies to meet the continuity and reliability requirements required for emergency rescue positioning in underground building environments, thereby affecting the effectiveness and safety of emergency rescue operations.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a method for monitoring the physiological status and positioning of personnel in underground space emergency rescue to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to solve the problems mentioned in the above background technology, the present invention provides a method for monitoring the physiological state and positioning of personnel in underground space emergency rescue.
[0006] A method for monitoring the physiological state and positioning of personnel in underground space emergency rescue is implemented by the following steps: The location information, physiological information and geomagnetic information of the underground space area are collected by crowdsourcing, and the collected data is transmitted to the cloud; In the cloud, multi-source sensors are used to correct the collected location information and geomagnetic information, and characteristic geomagnetic maps of underground space areas and underground space building structure maps are constructed and updated; Download updated characteristic geomagnetic maps and underground space building structure maps through portable mobile terminals, and locate people in the underground space in real time by combining real-time location information, physiological information and geomagnetic information; When an emergency occurs, rescuers formulate search and rescue strategies based on the latest characteristic geomagnetic maps and underground space building structure maps, build emergency wireless networks, analyze the validity of the current rescue area's location information and geomagnetic information, and perform fusion processing, monitor the physiological information of trapped people in real time, and carry out rescue operations; Through rescue operations, the emergency wireless network is optimized to update personnel positioning, mark search and rescue trajectories, and optimize search and rescue strategies. This enables monitoring of the physiological state and positioning of personnel in the underground space after an emergency occurs in order to effectively carry out comprehensive search and rescue work, as well as daily monitoring of the location of personnel in the underground space.
[0007] Furthermore, the crowdsourcing method is used to collect data on location information, physiological information and geomagnetic information of underground space areas, including: deploying wireless communication positioning base stations in the underground space area; collecting data on location information, geomagnetic information and physiological information of crowdsourcers in the underground space area through portable mobile terminals carried by crowdsourcers that integrate wireless communication positioning technology, inertial navigation technology, physiological monitoring technology and geomagnetic positioning technology.
[0008] Furthermore, transmitting the collected data to the cloud includes: transmitting the collected data to the cloud via a wireless communication network.
[0009] Furthermore, the portable mobile terminal integrates wireless communication positioning technology, inertial navigation technology, physiological monitoring technology and geomagnetic positioning technology.
[0010] Furthermore, the method of using multi-source sensors in the cloud to correct the collected position information and geomagnetic information includes: using a multi-source data fusion method of a factor graph in the cloud, combined with a plug-and-play sensor system, to locate and analyze the environmental characteristics of the underground space area to achieve correction of the collected position information and geomagnetic information.
[0011] Furthermore, the updating of the characteristic geomagnetic map and the underground space building structure map of the underground space area includes: continuously collecting data of location information and geomagnetic information through crowdsourcing and continuously interpolating and updating the characteristic geomagnetic map and the underground space building structure map of the underground space area to ensure that the drawings are often used and updated.
[0012] Furthermore, the construction of the emergency wireless network includes: rescue personnel carry wireless portable base stations into the rescue area of the underground space area and deploy them to form the emergency wireless network.
[0013] Furthermore, the analysis of the validity of the location information and geomagnetic information of the current rescue area and the fusion processing include: the data of the location information includes inertial data and wireless positioning data, the data of the geomagnetic information includes geomagnetic data, and the rescue personnel analyze the validity of the geomagnetic data, inertial data and wireless positioning data of the current rescue area through a portable mobile terminal, and fuse the geomagnetic data, inertial data and wireless positioning data through elastic PNT (Positioning, Navigation, and Timing) technology and factor graph algorithm to ensure the credibility of the data and improve positioning accuracy and reliability.
[0014] Furthermore, the portable mobile terminal includes a power supply, a wireless positioning module, an IMU (inertial measurement unit) attitude sensor, a geomagnetic sensor, a physiological parameter sensor and a control chip; the power supply is electrically connected to the wireless positioning module, the IMU (inertial measurement unit) attitude sensor, the geomagnetic sensor, the physiological parameter sensor and the control chip respectively; the control chip is electrically connected to the wireless positioning module, the IMU (inertial measurement unit) attitude sensor, the geomagnetic sensor and the physiological parameter sensor respectively.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are: 1. Flexible fusion of multi-source positioning information. In emergency scenarios, the optimal combination is made according to the PNT (Positioning, Navigation, and Timing) perception capability to ensure the continuity and reliability of positioning services. This mechanism effectively solves the problem of inaccurate or unreliable positioning of traditional positioning technology in underground environments due to factors such as satellite signal shielding and building structure reflection and shielding, especially the problem of inaccurate positioning caused by multipath effects and frequent non-line-of-sight errors.
[0016] 2. Rapid deployment of wireless communication and positioning networks. By carrying portable base stations into the rescue area and quickly building an emergency wireless network, the search and rescue strategy can be quickly formulated and fully covered, and the emergency response speed can be improved. This rapid deployment capability ensures that even in the event of infrastructure failure, communication and positioning functions can be immediately restored, supporting efficient emergency rescue operations and solving the problem that existing wireless positioning and communication equipment may be displaced, powered off, dropped or damaged, causing the wireless positioning system to be unreliable or even completely unavailable.
[0017] 3. The integration of geomagnetic navigation technology enables multi-source data correction to be performed in a passive and power-free state to maintain positioning accuracy. The continuous updating of characteristic geomagnetic maps ensures its adaptability and can maintain effective positioning services even in extreme environments, solving the limitations brought about by long-term reliance on a single navigation technology, especially the problem of error accumulation and difficulty in correction in inertial navigation systems.
[0018] 4. Continuously collect location information and geomagnetic information through crowdsourcing in daily environments to ensure that characteristic geomagnetic maps and underground space building structure maps are often used and updated. This not only helps to provide real-time feedback on changes in the internal layout of underground space buildings, but also provides the latest environmental information for search and rescue work, optimizes the formulation of search and rescue strategies, and avoids the frequent changes in the underground building environment. The traditional underground space building structure map is difficult to reflect the latest layout in a timely manner, affecting the efficiency and accuracy of the search and rescue work.
[0019] 5. Comprehensive health management. By integrating physiological monitoring technology, the present invention can monitor the vital signs of trapped persons in real time, assist rescuers in assessing the health status of trapped persons, give priority to emergency situations, and improve the success rate of rescue.
