[0065] The present disclosure is further described below in conjunction with the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0066] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0067] The present invention proposes a fault location method based on vehicle-to-ground communication based on rail transit technology. Based on the signal field strength theory, combined with the wireless positioning algorithm and the AP layout diagram along the track, the actual position is calculated and listed to realize the location of train faults in vehicle-to-ground communication. Compared with traditional methods, the fault location technology based on vehicle-to-ground communication is more efficient and reduces human subjectivity, and has great potential and application prospects in rail transit interpretation applications.

[0068] Embodiment 1

[0069] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention proposes a fault location method based on vehicle-ground communication, comprising the following steps:

[0070] S1. Receive the signal field strength along the trackside wireless access point in the vehicle-to-ground communication, and calculate the normal field strength reference value of the vehicle-to-ground communication according to the signal field strength along the track.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present invention, the signal field strength along the line refers to the signal strength measured while a field strength measuring device is installed on a train and the train runs along the subway line. In order to eliminate the field strength caused by the running direction of the train, the measuring device is rotated to measure a series of array data about the orientation.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present invention, the receiving signal field strength along the trackside wireless access point in the vehicle-to-ground communication includes:

[0073] Select any direction as the zero degree of the field strength measurement equipment;

[0074] Determine the field strength receiving angle of the trackside wireless access point according to the zero degree and the preset angle rotation frequency;

[0075] The signal field strength along the track wireless access point in the vehicle-to-ground communication is received according to the field strength receiving angle.

[0076] In detail, any direction is selected as the zero degree of the field strength measurement device, and the direction corresponding to zero degree is just a reference system. This direction is usually used as a reference to determine the field strength measurement values ​​in other directions. Then, according to the zero degree direction and the preset angle rotation frequency, the angle of the field strength measurement device is adjusted. Then, a value can be selected every 1 degree or every 2 degrees. The angle rotation frequency can be customized, so that the signal field strength along the trackside wireless access point is measured by the field strength measurement device at each field strength receiving angle, and the signal field strength along the line at each field strength receiving angle is recorded. For example, if there are 3 trackside wireless access points, the array data of a series of orientations of the trackside wireless access points measured is (Angles j ,RSSI 1j ,RSSI 2j ,RSSI 3j ), where Angles j is the jth rotation angle, RSSI ij Signal strength along the line of the ith trackside wireless access point at the jth rotation angle.

[0077] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , it is a schematic diagram of the rotation angle of the measuring device. A train is running on the track, and its wireless access point or signal strength measuring device is AP2. The physical position of the trackside wireless AP is AP1. The signal strength RSSI has a directional orientation. For example, at the same position, if the measuring device is fixed in a certain direction, the strengths measured by the up and down trains will be different. Therefore, by rotating to eliminate the strength inconsistency, you can arbitrarily select a direction as the zero degree of the measuring device. Assuming that AP1 is the trackside AP above the train measuring device AP2, you can roughly select the following: Figure 2 By averaging the angle measurements shown, the errors can be appropriately eliminated and the results are more accurate.

[0078] Furthermore, equipment for testing the field strength along the line is installed on the train. As the train moves, the received signal field strength along the line of the associated trackside wireless access point is recorded. In order to detect the specific location of the train failure, it is necessary to record the normal field strength reference value of the communication system, and then determine whether there is a communication abnormality during the train-ground communication process based on the field strength reference value.

[0079] In the embodiment of the present invention, the normal field strength reference value refers to recording the received signal field strength along the line of the trackside wireless access point associated with the communication system when the communication system is normal as the train moves, and the recorded field strength is the normal reference value of the communication system.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present invention, the calculating of the normal field strength reference value of vehicle-to-ground communication according to the field strength of the signal along the line includes:

[0081] The rotation angle range of the field strength measurement device is determined according to a preset angle threshold, wherein the rotation angle range is:

[0082] Angles j ∈[α ° -β ° ,α ° +β ° ]

[0083] Among them, Angles j is the jth rotation angle in the rotation angle range corresponding to the field intensity measurement device, α is the first angle, and β is the second angle;

[0084] The normal field strength reference value of vehicle-to-ground communication is calculated according to the signal field strength along the line and the rotation angle range:

[0085]

[0086] Among them, AveRSSI i is the normal field strength reference value of the ith trackside wireless access point, RSSI ij is the signal strength along the line of the ith trackside wireless access point at the jth rotation angle, and n is the number of rotation angles in the rotation angle range.

[0087] In detail, the average signal strength within a certain range can be used as the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) measurement value according to the first angle α and the second angle β, so that the rotation angle range Angles of the field strength measurement device can be determined according to the angle threshold corresponding to the first angle and the angle threshold corresponding to the second angle. j , then Angles j ∈[α ° -β° ,α ° +β ° ] means taking α ° The average signal strength within a certain range around the angle is used as the RSSI measurement value. That is, if a more accurate average value is required, a value can be measured every 1 degree; if the requirement is not high, it can be measured every 2 degrees or according to the actual situation, which is similar to the sampling frequency. The more values ​​measured, the more accurate it is.

[0088] Specifically, by collecting the signal field strengths of different trackside wireless access points, the signal field strength of the same trackside wireless access point is measured multiple times and the average is taken as the reference value, that is, the field strength measurement equipment continuously measures the received signal field strength of the associated trackside wireless access point, measures the normal communication data multiple times, and takes the average as the reference value, thereby obtaining the normal field strength reference value for vehicle-ground communication.

[0089] Furthermore, during fault detection, the field strength testing equipment on the train is used to test the signal field strength of the AP associated with the trackside, and then the measured signal field strength is compared with the calculated normal field strength reference value to determine whether there is a communication abnormality in the train-to-ground communication.

[0090] S2. Test the real-time signal strength of the trackside wireless access point, calculate the error value between the real-time signal strength and the normal strength reference value, and determine whether there is a communication anomaly in the vehicle-to-ground communication according to the error value.

[0091] In the embodiment of the present invention, the real-time signal field strength refers to the train running along the track, using the on-board field strength measurement equipment to continuously measure the wireless transmission signal strength of different wireless access points along the track and the location information of different wireless access points in real time, such as Figure 3 The figure shows the location of APs along the track. During the movement of the track trolley, the on-board signal strength and communication performance test equipment continuously measures the signal strength of the trackside wireless access points at regular intervals, and records the signal strength and the location information of the track trolley. Based on the AP location information along the track, the real-time signal field strength of the trackside wireless access points can be tested.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present invention, the calculating the error value between the real-time signal field strength and the normal field strength reference value includes:

[0093] Extract the real-time signal strength and normal strength reference value corresponding to each trackside wireless access point;

[0094] The error value between the real-time signal field strength corresponding to each trackside wireless access point and the normal field strength reference value is calculated.

[0095] In detail, the real-time signal field strength corresponding to each trackside wireless access point is compared with the normal field strength reference value, that is, the real-time signal field strength corresponding to each trackside wireless access point is subtracted from the normal field strength reference value under normal communication conditions, and the error value corresponding to each trackside wireless access point can be obtained. If there are 3 trackside wireless access points, the error value between the real-time signal field strength corresponding to the 3 trackside wireless access points and the normal field strength reference value can be obtained, that is, there are 3 error values ​​corresponding to the 3 trackside wireless access points.

[0096] Specifically, based on the comparison between the tested ground field strength and the field strength when the communication system is working normally, and based on the error value between the two, it is determined whether communication abnormality occurs. If the difference between the two is too large, it is determined that there is a communication system failure, and the train position needs to be determined. That is, when the error value is less than the preset error threshold, the train-ground communication is determined to be normal; when the error value is greater than or equal to the preset error threshold, the train-ground communication is determined to be abnormal. When the train communication is abnormal, the train position needs to be determined.

[0097] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown in the figure, it is a schematic diagram of the signal strength along the track. During the running of the track trolley, the on-board signal strength and communication performance test equipment continuously measures the signal strength of the wireless access point on the track at regular intervals, and records the signal strength and the position information of the track trolley. The average value of multiple measurements is taken as the reference value of the signal strength. The Refer in the figure gives the reference value of the signal strength along the track, and is listed in When running on the track, the on-board equipment measures the performance of the wireless communication system and the signal strength of the wireless access point on the track at regular intervals, and records the communication performance information and signal strength information of the train as the data source for fault location. The Real in the figure is the true value of the signal strength along the track measured by the train, and the Error in the figure indicates the place where the error is large, that is, the signal strength value measured at a certain distance from the initial end is -47dBm, and the reference value of the signal strength at this point is -43dBm, that is, some points of the curve fall outside the reference value, which means that a fault may occur at the position of this point, and there is a communication system fault at this running distance, and the location of the train communication system fault needs to be determined based on the abnormal data.

[0098] Furthermore, when there is a communication anomaly on the train, the specific position of the train will be located. When locating the fault position of the train, the relative distance between the train and the trackside wireless access point is determined based on the measured signal field strength combined with the wireless positioning algorithm and the AP layout diagram along the track.

[0099] S3. When there is a communication anomaly, the relative distance between the train and the trackside wireless access point at any time is calculated based on the real-time signal field strength and a pre-selected signal strength reference point.

[0100] In an embodiment of the present invention, when there is a communication anomaly, when performing fault detection, a field strength test device on the train is used to simultaneously record the wireless transmission signal strength of three APs along the line received by the train at any time, and when locating the communication system fault, a wireless signal positioning algorithm is used based on the received wireless signal strength transmitted by the three APs to obtain the relative distance of the train relative to the three APs at any time, wherein the relative distance refers to the distance between the train and the trackside wireless access point at any time, that is, the distance difference between the train and multiple trackside wireless access points.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present invention, the calculating the relative distance between the train and the trackside wireless access point at any time according to the real-time signal field strength and the pre-selected signal strength reference point includes:

[0102] Obtaining a first signal strength corresponding to a train at any time;

[0103] Extracting a second signal strength corresponding to the signal strength reference point according to the real-time signal field strength;

[0104] Acquire a first distance between the signal strength reference point and the trackside wireless access point;

[0105] Calculate the relative distance between the train and the trackside wireless access point according to the first signal strength, the second signal strength and the first distance:

[0106] PL(d i )=PL(d0)-10*η*log 10 (d i ′d0)

[0107] Among them, d i is the relative distance between the train and the ith trackside wireless access point, PL(d i ) is the first signal strength, d0 is the first distance, PL(d0) is the second signal strength, η is the signal attenuation factor, and log is the logarithmic function.

[0108] In detail, the first signal field strength refers to the field strength corresponding to the train at any time during its operation. The signal strength corresponding to the train at any time can be measured by the on-board field strength measuring equipment, and then the actual position of the train is used as the test point; not only the signal strength corresponding to the train at any time is obtained, but also the signal strength corresponding to the pre-selected signal strength reference point is required, that is, the second signal strength. The second signal strength refers to the signal strength corresponding to the signal strength reference point, and the distance between the signal strength reference point and the trackside wireless access point is measured in advance, that is, the first distance, and then the distance between the train and the trackside wireless access point at any time is calculated based on the signal strength of the train, the signal strength of the signal strength reference point and the distance between the reference point and the trackside wireless access point, wherein the trackside wireless access point can be used as a signal strength reference point.

[0109] Specifically, the wireless AP on the trackside satisfies the WIFI signal attenuation model (Wireless Signal Propagation Loss Models) by transmitting information wirelessly. The relationship between the wireless transmission signal field strength and distance of the wireless AP on the trackside is specifically: d i is the actual distance between the train and the reference point, which is unknown and is a variable introduced for calculation reasoning. The measured value can only be close to the true value but cannot be equal to it. i When the relative distance between the reference point signal strength (second signal strength) PL(d0) and the test point signal strength (first signal strength) PL(d i ) and the distance d0 from the reference point to the AP are all known, then d0 represents the distance between the signal strength reference point and the trackside wireless AP, PL represents the signal reception strength, η represents the signal attenuation factor (which takes different values ​​depending on the environment), and then the relative distance between the train and the trackside wireless access point at any time can be obtained according to the formula.

[0110] Furthermore, based on the obtained relative distances and the absolute positions of the trackside wireless access points, the relative position of the train relative to the three APs can be obtained, and the point on the track that simultaneously satisfies the three position relationships is the train position, thereby determining the absolute position of the train on the track at any time. In order to determine the absolute position of the train on the track, it is necessary to analyze the theoretical distance between the train position and the signal strength reference point, thereby calculating the absolute position of the train on the track based on the theoretical distance.

[0111] S4. Calculate the theoretical distance between the train and the signal strength reference point according to the train position and the position of the signal strength reference point at any time.

[0112] In the embodiment of the present invention, the theoretical distance refers to the distance calculated based on the position of the train and the position of the signal strength reference point, and is the measured theoretical distance.

[0113] In the embodiment of the present invention, the calculating the theoretical distance between the train and the signal strength reference point according to the position of the train at any time and the position of the signal strength reference point includes:

[0114] The theoretical distance between the train and the signal strength reference point is calculated according to the train position and the position of the signal strength reference point at any time using the following formula:

[0115]

[0116] Among them, d i ′ is the theoretical distance between the i-th signal strength reference point and the train, (x0, y0) is the train position, (x i ,y i ) is the position of the i-th signal strength reference point.

[0117] In detail, according to the train position (x0, y0) at any time and the signal strength reference point (x i ,y i ) can calculate the theoretical distance d between the train and the reference point i ′ , and then according to the theoretical distance and the actual distance d i The error between the estimated distances is then d i is the actual distance between the train and the reference point (unknown), d i ′ It is the measured distance. These two variables are introduced for formula derivation. By using the least squares method to minimize the sum of the squares of the differences between the two, a more accurate distance value between the train and the reference point can be obtained, rather than directly calculating by measuring the signal strength at the train. There is computational reasoning to make the result more accurate.

[0118] Furthermore, the position of the train can be determined based on the theoretical distance and the actual distance between the train and the reference point, and then the position where the train failure occurs can be located based on the train position.

[0119] S5. Calculate the absolute position of the train according to the theoretical distance and the relative distance, and determine the fault position of the train according to the absolute position.

[0120] In the embodiment of the present invention, the absolute position refers to the position (x, 0) of the train on the track, with the starting point of the line as the origin of the x-axis. The position of the train can be determined based on the position of the starting point of the train, or the station can be used as the origin of the x-axis (selected according to actual conditions).

[0121] In the embodiment of the present invention, the calculating the absolute position of the train according to the theoretical distance and the relative distance includes:

[0122] The error value between the theoretical distance and the relative distance is calculated, wherein the error value calculation formula is:

[0123] ρ i =|d i ′ -d i |

[0124] Among them, ρ i is the error value corresponding to the ith trackside wireless access point, d i ′ is the theoretical distance between the i-th signal strength reference point and the train, d i is the relative distance between the train and the i-th trackside wireless access point;

[0125] Decomposing the error value calculation formula into a first matrix and a second matrix;

[0126] A minimum error expression is generated according to the first matrix and the second matrix, wherein the minimum error expression is:

[0127] X ′ =(A T A) -1 A T B

[0128] Among them, X ′ is the absolute position of the train, A T is the transpose of the first matrix, A is the first matrix, and B is the second matrix;

[0129] The absolute position of the train is calculated according to the minimum error expression.

[0130] In detail, according to the error value between the theoretical distance and the relative distance, the error calculation formula can be determined. In order to minimize the error value, the error calculation formula is decomposed into a first matrix A and a second matrix B, and then a minimum error expression is generated according to the first matrix and the second matrix. Solving the minimum error expression can determine the absolute position of the train.

[0131] Specifically, let ρ i is the error between the actual distance to the AP and the estimated distance to the AP, then the formula ρ can be obtained i =|d i ′ -d i |, (i=1,2,...,n), in order to The value of is the smallest, that is, the measurement error is the smallest, and ρ i=|d i ′ -d i |Convert to formula Different values ​​of n in the formula represent different APs, and subtracting them from each other eliminates We can get the formula Then The formula AX = B can be obtained, and d in B i That is, the actual distance between the train and the reference point is unknown and can only be determined by d i ′ To estimate the distance to the reference point, in order to The value of is the smallest, which is equivalent to making the expression |AX-B ′ |minimum, thus obtaining the formula X ′ =(A T A) - 1 A T B ′ , where X ′ is the estimated position obtained by the above algorithm. The train is at position (x ′ 0,y ′ 0) place.

[0132] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown in the figure, it is a schematic diagram of determining the train position. If there is a problem with the communication performance of the communication system, the recorded signal strength distribution data and the reference value of the signal strength are compared to find the abnormal data. The location of the train communication system fault is determined based on the abnormal data. If there are three APs, it is known that the signal strengths of the three APs corresponding to the location are -45dBm, -44dBm, and -63dBm, respectively. According to the formula PL(d i )=PL(d0)-10*η*log 10 (d i / d0) to obtain d1 = 200m, d2 = 198m, d3 = 345m, and the positions of the three AP reference points AP0, AP1, AP2 are known, that is, (x i ,y i ) is known, through d i and (x i ,y i ) can get A and B in the formula. The calculated approximate position of the train is 1300m away from the starting end. The three trackside APs can determine the position of the train based on the intersection of the concentric circles. The intersection of the concentric circles is used as the position of the train. The three AP reference points are equivalent to selecting AP1 as REF1, which is equivalent to the center of the circle. The position of the train is at the intersection of the three circles.

[0133] Embodiment 2

[0134] In order to better understand the present invention, the position of the signal strength reference point pre-selected in the embodiment of the present invention is further explained below through a second embodiment.

[0135] In an embodiment of the present invention, when performing fault detection, first, the spatial coordinates of each AP along the line are obtained according to the AP layout diagram along the line, and then a suitable signal strength reference point is selected to measure the field strength and the distance to the AP as a reference value for calculating the relative distance between the train and the reference point.

[0136] In the embodiment of the present invention, before calculating the relative distance between the train and the trackside wireless access point at any time according to the real-time signal field strength and the pre-selected signal strength reference point, the method further includes:

[0137] Detecting whether the signal strength of the trackside wireless access point can be measured;

[0138] When the signal strength of the trackside wireless access point can be measured, the trackside wireless access point is used as a pre-selected signal strength reference point;

[0139] When the signal strength of the trackside wireless access point cannot be measured, a predetermined reference point position is determined as a signal strength reference point.

[0140] In detail, Figure 6 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of reference point selection. A train is running on the track, and its wireless access point or signal strength measurement device is AP2. The physical position of the trackside wireless AP is AP1, and the position of the reference point is REF1. In fact, AP1 and REF1 can coincide with each other. If the signal strength at AP1 cannot be measured, REF1 can be selected as the reference point. REF1 makes the formula universal. During the operation of the train, AP and REF can coincide with each other.

[0141] Specifically, when the train is running on the track, the field strength measuring device on the train calculates the distance to REF1 based on the absolute position and signal strength of REF1 (both are known values) and the signal strength of AP2 (obtained by measurement), and then calculates a concentric circle of AP2 with AP1 as the center based on the positional relationship between REF1 and AP1 (known). When there are multiple trackside APs, the position of the train can be determined based on the intersection of the concentric circles.

[0142] The embodiment of the present invention installs a field strength measurement device on the train. When the train moves, the received signal field strength of the wireless AP along the line is recorded when the communication system is normal, and the field strength is used as a reference value for the normal communication system; when fault detection is performed, the test equipment on the train is used to measure the signal field strength of the AP, and the tested field strength is compared with the field strength when the communication system is working normally to determine whether communication abnormalities occur, and at the same time, the wireless transmission signal strength of the three APs along the line received by the train at any time is recorded; according to the received wireless signal strength transmitted by the three APs, the relative distance of the train relative to the three APs at any time is obtained by using a wireless signal positioning algorithm; according to the relative distance and the absolute position of the AP, the train position when the fault occurs is obtained, and the position of the train can be determined in a timely and accurate manner to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the train-to-ground communication. Therefore, the fault positioning method, device, equipment and medium based on the train-to-ground communication proposed by the present invention can solve the problem of low accuracy when positioning the train fault.
