TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of railway engineering surveying, and in particular to a millimeter wave radar measurement method considering multiple influencing factors. BACKGROUND
[0002] High-speed rail operation safety is faced with problems such as deformation of roadbed, bridge and track structure and geological disaster hidden dangers along the line. Under the condition of high-speed train operation, slight deformation of roadbed and bridge will lead to track irregularity, causing train to run at a reduced speed or even affecting train safety. Therefore, track geometry state detection is crucial to high-speed rail safe operation.
[0003] In order to ensure the safe movement of trains, the railway department needs to regularly detect the track geometry state and maintain and repair the track. At present, Beidou positioning technology has become one of the most mature track detection solutions outside the tunnel due to its high precision, all-day and all-weather advantages. However, the demand for positioning and safety detection in the track detection process is not only outside the tunnel, but also inside the tunnel. As a traditional high-precision measuring equipment, the total station integrates inertial navigation technology and provides reference coordinates and inertial navigation system to compensate for dynamic errors, realizing static measurement of track geometry state parameters (such as track gauge, level and height) inside the tunnel. However, the total station equipment still has problems such as high price, low efficiency and inability to effectively protect data security.
[0004] Millimeter wave radar is a radar system that uses millimeter wave frequency band for detection and ranging. It can penetrate obstacles such as water vapor and smoke and is not affected by lighting conditions. It can identify multiple targets simultaneously and has advantages such as long time series, real-time, high precision (sub-millimeter level), non-contact, etc. Compared with hundreds of thousands of measurement robots, millimeter wave radar has the advantage of high cost performance with a lower price (500-2000 yuan). However, most millimeter wave radars are used for deflection monitoring of structures such as bridges, and how to achieve high-precision positioning in complex tunnel environments has not been thoroughly studied. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a millimeter wave radar measurement method that takes into account multiple influencing factors to eliminate the effects of radar electronic component delay, angle and weather factors, construct a precise observation model and achieve rapid measurement of track geometry state.

The calculation formula is as follows:
[0053]
[0054] In the formula, is the propagation speed of a signal in the atmosphere, is a sampling frequency, is a quantized frequency point after FFT, is a signal frequency modulation slope, is a complex sampling point.
[0055] The target radial distance (prior distance) obtained by calculation is used to determine a search interval, the signal with the maximum amplitude is selected, the point with the maximum amplitude in the search interval is determined, and the frequency fc corresponding to the maximum FFT amplitude is determined.
[0056] S102, spectral refinement, including coarse extraction of a target radial distance, determining the frequency corresponding to the target between the left and right adjacent spectral lines of the maximum spectral line (i.e., determining a spectral refinement interval according to the FFT result, selecting the maximum amplitude), and using CZT to refine the spectral line to obtain an unambiguous phase of the target (i.e., the frequency and phase corresponding to the maximum CZT amplitude); the start point of the refined frequency is the left spectral line adjacent to the maximum spectral line, and the end point is the right spectral line adjacent to the maximum spectral line, and the local spectrum is refined from the original 2 points to points. In order to avoid the problem of phase ambiguity, the phase difference between adjacent spectral lines should not exceed , and thus the refinement multiple is determined.
[0057] S103, range value refinement, according to the unambiguous phase of the target (i.e. the frequency and phase corresponding to the maximum CZT amplitude at the first epoch and the frequency and phase corresponding to the maximum CZT amplitude at the second epoch), the phase difference of the two range measurements is calculated, and the radial deformation distance is calculated according to the formula; the phase difference is converted into the corresponding distance change , which is superimposed into the first range value, to obtain the accurate range value of the next epoch.
[0058] The range value refinement is to calculate the phase difference of the two range measurements, and convert it into the corresponding distance change , which is superimposed into the first range value, to obtain the accurate range value of the next epoch.
[0059] The beat signal phase obtained by the radar measuring the corner reflector during the first range measurement is:

[0070] According to the test data, the RMSE of the fitting result of the triangular function with the number of terms being 1 is the smallest, and the R-square is relatively high, so the optimal function model between the error and the horizontal angle is expressed by the following formula:

[0074] Similarly, according to the test data, the RMSE of the fitting result of the first-order polynomial for the deviation between the true value and the measured value corresponding to the multiple collected elevation angles is the smallest, so the optimal function model between the error and the elevation angle is expressed by the following formula:
