Track circuit monitoring primarily involves indoor and outdoor circuit monitoring. For indoor circuit monitoring, mature and comprehensive technical solutions exist. By deploying IoT-connected sensors indoors, online indoor circuit parameter monitoring can be achieved. However, outdoor circuit monitoring scenarios are constrained by factors such as railway operations and outdoor weather, leading to issues such as insufficient real-time monitoring, incomplete monitoring, and low fault diagnosis accuracy.

It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0057] See also Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a track circuit outdoor monitoring method, which includes the following steps:

[0058] S100: Acquire first environmental data outdoors where the track is located, thereby determining the disturbance characteristics of the track section, and thereby adjusting the electrical signal acquisition mode for each section of the track;

[0059] S200: generating an electrical signal information packet based on the electrical signal collection status of each segment; and determining a transmission node based on information characteristics of the electrical signal information packets of all segments;

[0060] S300: Acquire second environment data corresponding to the transmission node to determine the communication interference characteristics of the transmission node, thereby adjusting the state of the transmission node sending electrical signal information packets to the room;

[0061] S400: Analyze the electrical signal information packets received indoors to obtain the characteristics of circuit abnormality events in each section; predict the signal fault status of the track circuit based on the characteristics of circuit abnormality events in all sections, and issue an alarm notification.

[0062] Furthermore, in S100, first environmental data of the outdoor area where the track is located is obtained to determine the section disturbance characteristics of the track, thereby adjusting the electrical signal acquisition mode for each section under the track, specifically:

[0063] Based on the track's outdoor spatial distribution path, the characteristic location of each track section is determined, thereby obtaining the outdoor ambient temperature and humidity data at the characteristic location. The temperature and humidity variation characteristics are extracted from the ambient temperature and humidity data to determine the circuit disturbance noise variation characteristics of each section.

[0064] The noise intensity time variation characteristics of the circuit disturbance noise are analyzed to estimate the distribution of the signal flooding period of the circuit disturbance noise on the sensor devices arranged in the section; according to the signal flooding period distribution, the electrical signal acquisition frequency of each sensor device in the section is adjusted.

[0065] See also Figure 2 The layout of outdoor monitoring of track circuits mainly includes independently arranging a number of sensor devices for each section of the track, and all sensor devices under each section are connected to the transmission transfer station through lines. The sensor devices under each section may include but are not limited to current sensors, voltage sensors, temperature sensors, and humidity sensors; among them, the current sensors and voltage sensors respectively detect electrical signals such as the current signal and voltage signal of the track circuit, which are used to characterize the real-time operating status of the track circuit; the temperature sensors and humidity sensors are used to detect the temperature and humidity of the outdoor environment in each section. The track circuit is exposed to the outdoor environment and is easily affected by factors such as the outdoor environment temperature and humidity, which may cause the internal components of the track circuit to overheat or become damp and unable to work normally and stably, resulting in noise in the track circuit of the corresponding section and disturbances to the current and / or voltage signals during the operation of the track circuit. In severe cases, these disturbances may completely overwhelm the normal current and / or voltage signals of the track circuit. Considering that when a track circuit fails, the current and / or voltage signals during the operation of the track circuit will show abnormal fluctuations and noise interference. If the disturbance caused by overheating or moisture in the internal components of the track circuit covers the abnormal fluctuations and noise interference of the above-mentioned current and / or voltage signals, it will be impossible to accurately determine the operation failure of the track circuit based on the above-mentioned abnormal fluctuations and noise interference.

[0066] In order to reduce the superimposed disturbance caused by outdoor ambient temperature and humidity on the current and / or voltage monitoring of the track circuit, it is necessary to reduce the influence of the external ambient temperature and humidity during the current and / or voltage monitoring period to avoid the circuit disturbance caused by the outdoor ambient temperature and humidity on the track circuit being superimposed on the current and / or voltage signals. Figure 3Given the large spatial extent of the track, the temperature and humidity of the outdoor environments located in different track sections vary significantly. To accurately obtain temperature and humidity data for the outdoor environment within each track section, the characteristic locations of each track section are first determined based on the track's spatial distribution path outdoors (e.g., an extended track). These characteristic locations can be, but are not limited to, the locations of sleepers in a specific order within each section. Temperature and humidity sensors located at these characteristic locations are then used to continuously collect temperature and humidity data for the outdoor environment at these characteristic locations. Temporal variations in these temperature and humidity data are then identified to determine the temporal variations in the temperature and humidity of the outdoor environment at these characteristic locations. Based on the noise generation characteristics of components within the track circuit under temperature and humidity variations, the circuit disturbance noise variation characteristics for each section are determined. Generally speaking, the relationship between the noise generated by each type of component within the track circuit due to changes in ambient temperature and humidity is known. The greater the change in ambient temperature and / or humidity, the greater the noise generated by the component. The circuit disturbance noise variation characteristics for each section can be the summed sum of the disturbance noise generated by all components within the track circuit within that section. The circuit disturbance noise variation characteristics are then analyzed for temporal variations in noise intensity to estimate the distribution of signal flooding periods caused by the circuit disturbance noise for the sensing devices located within the segment. This signal flooding period distribution refers to the distribution of periods corresponding to when the circuit disturbance noise intensity is less than the noise intensity distinguishable by the current sensor and / or voltage sensor, or other sensing devices located within the segment. It is understood that during this signal flooding period distribution, the circuit disturbance noise is mixed with the detection signals generated by the current sensor and / or voltage sensor, or other sensing devices, and cannot be distinguished and eliminated by the sensing devices. Based on this signal flooding period distribution, the acquisition frequency of electrical signals, such as current and voltage, for each current sensor and each voltage sensor, or other sensing device within the segment, is adjusted to minimize overlap between the electrical signal acquisition period of each current sensor and each voltage sensor and the signal flooding period distribution. This reduces the overlap in the time domain between the electrical signal acquisition period and the signal flooding period distribution, preventing the sensing devices from superimposing the circuit disturbance noise during the electrical signal acquisition period, and thereby reducing the interference of the circuit disturbance noise at the source of the electrical signal acquisition.

[0067] Furthermore, in S200, an electrical signal information packet is formed according to the electrical signal collection status of each segment; and a transmission node is determined according to the information characteristics of the electrical signal information packets of all segments, specifically:

[0068] Monitor the time domain distribution of the electrical signal acquisition data of all sensor devices in each section to determine whether all sensor devices generate valid electrical signal data sets that match in the time domain, and then integrate the valid electrical signal data sets into electrical signal information packets;

[0069] The amount of queue information formed by the electrical signal information packets of all segments is obtained, compared with the available communication capacity of the transmission nodes, and the transmission node suitable for transmitting the electrical signal information packets is determined.

[0070] The above analysis shows that when a fault occurs in the track circuit corresponding to a section, the current and voltage signals detected in the track circuit in that section will experience abnormal fluctuations and noise interference. By analyzing these abnormal fluctuations and noise interference, the track circuit fault can be diagnosed and located. To diagnose and locate track circuit faults in real time, electrical signals such as current and voltage detected in the section's track circuit need to be collected, uploaded, and analyzed. In actual fault diagnosis and location, using only a single electrical signal, such as current or voltage, may not be able to fully and accurately diagnose track circuit faults. To this end, it is necessary to comprehensively and fully collect electrical signal data detected by different types of sensing equipment and ensure that the collected electrical signal data matches in the time domain (that is, all collected electrical signal data can complete the corresponding preset time interval, and there are no discontinuities or gaps in the electrical signal data in the time domain). Specifically, the time domain distribution state of the electrical signal acquisition data of all sensor devices in each section is monitored (i.e., the corresponding generation time distribution state of the electrical signal acquisition data of each sensor device), and the time domain distribution state of the electrical signal acquisition data of all sensor devices is compared. If the electrical signal data generated by all sensor devices can correspond to the same time interval, then it is determined that all sensor devices can generate a valid electrical signal data set that matches in the time domain; otherwise, it is determined that all sensor devices cannot generate a valid electrical signal data set that matches in the time domain, and the electrical signal data generated by all sensor devices in the same time interval is regarded as a valid electrical signal data set, and the valid electrical signal data set is packaged and integrated into an electrical signal information package to ensure that the valid electrical signal data set is fully uploaded to the indoor processing and analysis. In order to ensure that the electrical signal information package collected by outdoor monitoring is quickly and completely uploaded to the indoor processing and analysis, multiple wireless transmission nodes are set up indoors and outdoors, and each wireless transmission node can independently transmit the electrical signal information package from the outdoor to the indoor. The available communication capacity of each wireless transmission node is not the same. The queue information volume formed by the electrical signal information packets of all segments is obtained, and the available communication capacity of each transmission node is compared. One of the transmission nodes that is suitable for transmitting the electrical signal information packets is selected, wherein the available communication capacity of the above-selected transmission node is greater than the queue information volume formed by the electrical signal information packets, thereby ensuring that the electrical signal information packets are efficiently and safely transmitted from outdoor to indoor.

[0071] Furthermore, in S300, the second environment data corresponding to the transmission node is obtained to determine the communication interference characteristics of the transmission node, thereby adjusting the state of the transmission node sending the electrical signal information packet to the room, specifically:

[0072] Acquire external electromagnetic effect data of the environment in which the transmission node is located; wherein the external electromagnetic effect data includes electromagnetic effect data from external electrical equipment and / or natural phenomena; extract intensity and frequency data of external strong electric interference from the external electromagnetic effect data; and determine the intensity and duration of communication interference suffered by the transmission node based on the intensity and frequency data of the external strong electric interference;

[0073] According to the communication interference intensity and duration, the communication packet loss characteristics of the communication link corresponding to the transmission node are estimated, so as to adjust the transmission flow and / or transmission time period of the transmission node to the indoor electrical signal information packet.

[0074] Data is transmitted between indoors and outdoors through transmission nodes, and the transmission nodes are connected to cable lines. Cable lines are easily interfered with by external electromagnetic effects and cannot transmit data normally. The external electromagnetic interference to the transmission node mainly comes from electromagnetic effects generated by other strong electrical equipment on the track and / or natural phenomena such as thunderstorms. To this end, the electromagnetic effect data from external electrical equipment and / or natural phenomena in the environment where the transmission node is located is first obtained, and the above-mentioned external electromagnetic effect data is identified to extract the intensity and frequency data of the external strong electrical interference. Combined with the range of the interference area of ​​the cable line connected to the transmission node under external electromagnetic effects and the intensity and frequency data of the above-mentioned external strong electrical interference, the actual communication interference intensity and duration of the transmission node are determined; wherein, the above-mentioned communication interference intensity refers to the communication interference actually received by the transmission node being greater than the intensity of the interference it can withstand, and the above-mentioned duration refers to the duration of the communication interference with the above-mentioned intensity. According to the above-mentioned communication interference intensity and duration and combined with the current data transmission rate of the transmission node, the communication packet loss rate of the communication link corresponding to the transmission node is estimated; when the above-mentioned communication packet loss rate is greater than the preset packet loss rate threshold, the transmission node's sending flow and / or sending period of the electrical signal information packet to the indoor room is adjusted, such as reducing the unit time sending flow of the electrical signal information packet to the indoor room and / or shortening the electrical signal information packet sending period in the above-mentioned duration, so as to reduce the external electromagnetic interference and the reliability and efficiency of the transmission of the electrical signal information packet from the outdoor to the indoor room.

[0075] Furthermore, in S400, the electrical signal information packets received indoors are analyzed to obtain the circuit abnormality event characteristics of each section; based on the circuit abnormality event characteristics of all sections, the signal fault status of the track circuit is predicted, and an alarm notification is issued, specifically:

[0076] Samples of electrical signal packets received indoors are collected and preprocessed to obtain a track circuit operation dataset. This dataset is then processed using a prediction model to obtain circuit anomaly event characteristics for each section. These characteristics include the location and type of circuit anomaly.

[0077] Based on the track circuit signal paths of all sections, the characteristics of all circuit abnormal events are integrated to determine the signal transmission interruption nodes of the track circuits of all sections, thereby predicting the location and time of the signal failure of the track, and sending an alarm notification message to the platform.

[0078] After the indoor space receives the complete electric signal information packet transmitted from the outdoor space, it decompresses the electric signal information packet to obtain the electric signal data; then the above electric signal data is screened and collected and pre-processed by Kalman filter to obtain the track circuit operation data set. Figure 4 , construct as Figure 4 The prediction model is used to process the track circuit operation data set to obtain the circuit anomaly location and circuit anomaly type in each section. Figure 4 The prediction model's processing of the input track circuit operation dataset has been fully demonstrated, so it will not be reiterated here. Based on the track circuit signal transmission paths in all sections, the model determines the nodes where the track circuit signal transmission is interrupted in all sections during track operation. This allows the prediction of the location and time of the track signal failure. An alarm notification message containing the location and time of the signal failure is then sent to the platform (i.e., the service platform), improving the accuracy of fault identification.
