Abstract

This application relates to the field of high-precision positioning technology in water surface construction, and discloses a method for positioning a cofferdam for bridge construction based on BeiDou positioning, including the following steps: S1, BeiDou RTK initialization, setting up a reference station, obtaining the initial position of the cofferdam, and using differential correction to achieve centimeter-level positioning; S2, fluid-structure interaction modeling, establishing a dynamic model of the cofferdam under the action of water flow, tides, and wind based on computational fluid dynamics methods, and calculating the stress and deformation of the cofferdam using finite element analysis; S3, unscented Kalman filter state estimation, calculating the current position, velocity, and error range of the cofferdam based on historical position information of the cofferdam and prediction data from fluid-structure interaction modeling. This invention ensures the timeliness of error correction through an error loop feedback mechanism and real-time alarm function, improving the robustness and stability of the system, and significantly enhancing the positioning accuracy and reliability of the cofferdam during construction.
