Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of straddle-type monorail vehicle operation simulation test technology, specifically to a method and apparatus for straddle-type monorail vehicle operation simulation test. Background Technology
[0002] As an important solution for urban transportation, straddle-type monorail transit systems use rubber wheels straddling a single track beam for operation. They have advantages such as high space utilization, strong terrain adaptability, short construction period, and low noise and vibration, and are widely used in urban center areas.
[0003] However, as the system scaled up, a series of faults gradually emerged in the vehicles during operation, such as suspension system failure affecting dynamic performance, damage to the bogie horizontal wheel bearings posing a risk of falling objects from heights, and running wheels slipping in rainy or snowy weather, which are all safety hazards.
[0004] The root cause of these problems lies in the current lack of a complete standard system and professional testing equipment, which makes it difficult to conduct systematic testing and verification before vehicles leave the factory. Among the existing technologies, the straddle-type monorail vehicle rolling vibration test bench proposed by Xiao Qian et al. of East China Jiaotong University (Xiao Qian, Li Chenxi, Liu Xinlong, et al. Design of straddle-type monorail vehicle rolling vibration test bench [J]. Science and Technology Innovation, 2021, (18): 172-174.) can simulate rolling vibration test from a macroscopic perspective, but it has obvious shortcomings: its technical solution only describes the shape of the mechanism and does not explain the operation process in detail, which lacks operability; the running wheels to rolling mechanism is limited by the width of the track beam, making it difficult to reasonably arrange the electro-hydraulic servo actuators; the direction of the simulated force of the guide wheel and stabilizing wheel mechanism is opposite to that of the actual force, and it cannot simulate dynamic loads, and cannot truly restore the vehicle's operating conditions.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a testing scheme that can accurately simulate actual working conditions and comprehensively evaluate vehicle performance in order to improve vehicle safety and reliability. Summary of the Invention

[0068] Peak elimination processing removes spectral peaks of periodic wavelength components from the original orbital spectrum curve. The wavelength range of the spectral peaks is set, and after removing abnormal spectral peaks, linear interpolation or spline curve interpolation methods are used to fill in the data.
[0069] Smoothing is performed using one of the following methods: five-point cubic smoothing, multi-point moving average, or envelope averaging, to smooth the spectral curve and eliminate local fluctuations.

Detailed Implementation
[0115] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0116] Example 1: As Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a method for simulating the operation of a straddle-type monorail vehicle, comprising:
[0117] Based on the dimensions of the running wheels, stabilizing wheels, and guide wheels of the straddle-type monorail vehicle, the position of the test bench rollers is adjusted; the gantry is adjusted so that the axle load simulation actuator is connected to the vehicle vertically through the connecting beam to simulate the vehicle's own weight and load; in the longitudinal direction, the vehicle is fixed by the traction rod and reaction frame; in the transverse direction, the stabilizing wheels and guide wheels are fixed by the pulleys, and the initial load of the belt is adjusted by the tensioning wheel to simulate the initial preload.
[0118] In this embodiment, the position of the rollers on the test bench is adjusted according to the dimensions of the running wheels, stabilizing wheels, and guide wheels of the straddle-type monorail vehicle. This ensures that the rolling vibration simulation device can match the monorail bogie and simulate the vehicle's running state on the actual track beam. The roller surface is inlaid with materials of different roughness to simulate the frictional changes of the track beam surface. During adjustment, the roller support seat on the support base is moved to align the position of the roller with the contact point of the vehicle's running wheels. Simultaneously, the main drive motor is connected to the main pulley via a coupling and a brake. The main pulley then drives the roller to rotate via the main drive belt, realizing the rolling behavior of the running wheels on the track beam.
[0119] The loading gantry system is adjusted, and the axle load simulation actuator is rigidly connected to the straddle-type monorail vehicle in the vertical direction via a connecting beam. The axle load simulation actuator is mounted on the loading gantry and applies a vertical load to the vehicle through the connecting beam, simulating the vehicle's own weight and load conditions. During the vertical connection process, the axle load simulation actuator loads according to the vehicle's actual weight parameters, reflecting the axle load distribution of the vehicle under operating conditions.
[0120] In the longitudinal direction, the vehicle is secured by traction rods and reaction frames at both ends. The reaction frames are positioned at the upper ends of the test bench foundation, and the traction rods utilize a ball joint design to connect the vehicle and the reaction frames. The ball joint structure allows the traction rods to undergo displacement within a set range in the lateral and vertical directions, effectively eliminating unnecessary constraints and avoiding stress interference caused by rigid fixation during testing. This ensures no longitudinal displacement of the vehicle while maintaining necessary degrees of freedom, allowing the vehicle to naturally respond to the excitation signals applied by the test bench.
[0121] In the lateral direction, the stabilizing and guiding pulleys are fixed by a pulley system, and the initial load on the belt is adjusted by a tensioner. The mounting base of the lateral vibration simulation device is fixed to both sides of the test bench foundation, on which a lateral excitation actuator is mounted. The pulleys are connected to a rotary motor via universal couplings, driving the pulleys to rotate. Tensioners are mounted on both sides of the front end of the pulley mounting base; by adjusting the position of the tensioners, the belt tension can be flexibly adjusted, thus simulating the preload on the stabilizing and guiding pulleys of a straddle-type monorail vehicle in its initial state. This reproduces the lateral outward dynamic load on the guiding and stabilizing pulleys when the vehicle straddles the track beam. The independently controlled guiding and stabilizing pulley simulation system allows for the simulation of the vehicle traversing curves under different preload and speed conditions.
[0122] Using an on-board track detection system, including lateral laser sensors, vertical laser sensors, and inertial measurement units arranged on both sides of the track beam, the system tests the horizontal irregularities, vertical irregularities, and directional irregularities of the track beam on the actual operating line, and obtains displacement signals and track spectra. The track spectra are used to reflect the amplitude and wavelength information of the track irregularities.
[0123] In this embodiment, an onboard track detection system is first configured according to the actual operating requirements of the straddle-type monorail vehicle. This system mainly includes four high-speed 2D laser sensors for lateral detection, respectively arranged on both sides of the track beam. The detection range includes, but is not limited to, the running sections of the stabilizing wheels and guide wheels, capturing changes in the lateral geometry of the track beam. Simultaneously, two high-speed 2D laser sensors for vertical detection are deployed above the running sections of the running wheels, with the detection range including, but not limited to, the running wheel running sections, used to measure the vertical displacement of the track beam. In addition, the system integrates an inertial measurement unit to measure the vehicle's attitude parameters in real time, including roll angle, pitch angle, and yaw angle, providing a reference positioning for irregularity calculation. All sensors are connected through a data acquisition system to achieve synchronous data acquisition and storage.
[0124] The vehicle-mounted track detection system is installed on the end frame of the vehicle body, employing a clamping plate structure to ensure stability. Four bolts secure the upper and lower clamping plates to the end of the frame. To ensure the levelness of the mounting surface, a shaped shim is added to the lower clamping plate for leveling. The guide wheel and stabilizing wheel detection components are symmetrically mounted to the lower clamping plate with bolts. The detection beam is manufactured using a high-strength aluminum alloy bending and welding process, ensuring the rigidity and strength of the entire device during vehicle operation and preventing vibration interference. The running wheel detection components, inertial measurement unit, and data acquisition system are fixed to the upper clamping plate, connected by bolts to ensure accurate positioning of each component. After installation, the overall system structure is compact and capable of withstanding the dynamic loads during vehicle operation.
[0125] The vehicle equipped with the onboard track inspection system was tested on an actual operating line. The vehicle traveled at normal operating speed, and high-speed 2D laser sensors measured the displacement data of the track beam in real time. Lateral sensors collected data on the lateral concavity and convexity changes on both sides of the track beam, while vertical sensors recorded the vertical undulations of the track beam's top surface. The inertial measurement unit simultaneously output the vehicle's attitude information, including the frame's roll angle. Pitch angle and head shaking angle .
[0126] Based on the collected displacement and attitude data, the horizontal irregularities, vertical irregularities, and track alignment irregularities of the track beam are calculated.
[0127] Horizontal unevenness refers to the height difference between the two sides of the same cross section on the track. On a curve, it refers to the deviation excluding the normal superelevation; on a straight track, it refers to the deviation after deducting the average horizontal level caused by the elevation difference on one side. The roll angle of the framework is first measured using an inertial measurement unit. The difference in horizontal height between the left and right sides of the frame ,in This refers to the lateral span between the frame and the connection points of the primary springs on the left and right sides. The measured vertical displacements of the primary springs on the left and right sides are respectively... and The measured vertical displacement difference of the first series is then... The track beam is not level. ,in This is the width of the running wheels. (Based on the calculated...) Wavelength filtering is performed, with a filtering wavelength range of 1.5 meters to 42 meters, to eliminate the influence of high-frequency noise and low-frequency trend terms.
[0128] Height irregularities refer to the vertical unevenness of the top surface of the track beam along its extension direction. This is mainly caused by height deviations during track construction, beam deflection deformation, and residual deformation of the roadbed. The pitch angle of the frame is measured by the inertial measurement unit. Vertical displacement of the frame Calculation, where The longitudinal distance from the center of the frame to the end of the frame. The vehicle travel distance at each sampling point is obtained by integrating the pulse signal from the speed encoder. The displacement of the frame relative to the left track. Displacement relative to the right track ,in This is the vertical distance from the end of the frame to the track gauge measurement point. The left and right tracks are uneven in height. Then it is calculated by integration, that is ,in The left track is uneven. The right track is uneven, among which... The time derivative is used. The results are filtered by wavelengths from 1.5 meters to 42 meters to obtain smooth, uneven data.
[0129] Track irregularities refer to transverse unevenness along the length of the outer side of the track beam. These irregularities are caused by factors such as track laying construction, track maintenance, accumulation of residual transverse strain and uneven wear of the track beam, fastener failure, and inconsistent transverse elasticity of the track beam. The yaw angle of the frame is measured using an inertial measurement unit. Lateral movement distance at each sampling point of the framework Given, among which This represents the longitudinal distance from the inertial measurement unit's measurement point to the center of the frame. It also represents the displacement of the frame relative to the track at each sampling point. The track alignment is uneven. Calculated by integration The results were then filtered with wavelengths ranging from 1.5 meters to 42 meters to eliminate random fluctuations.
[0130] After acquiring the displacement signal, the power spectral density of track irregularities, i.e. the track spectrum, is further calculated. The relationship between wavelength and power spectral density obtained by power spectrum estimation and nonlinear curve fitting methods reflects the amplitude and wavelength information of track irregularities, and their state affects the smoothness and comfort of train operation.
[0131] The trajectory spectrum calculation first preprocesses the measured trajectory irregularity data, including outlier removal, bandpass filtering, and stationarity testing. Two algorithms are used for outlier removal: if the rate of change between two adjacent points is greater than 3‰, it is treated as a rate of change of 1‰; this algorithm handles isolated outliers well. Alternatively, if the ratio of the difference between the amplitude at the intermediate point and the average of the two points to half the distance between the two points is greater than 3‰, linear interpolation is performed; this algorithm performs linear interpolation within the outlier interval and has strong adaptability.
[0132] Bandpass filtering is used to extract the effective wavelength components and remove high-frequency and low-frequency interference.
[0133] The stationarity test employs either the round-robin test or the reverse-order test to ensure the data conforms to the stationarity assumption. The round-robin test divides the collected irregular trajectory data into several segments, calculates the mean square or average value of each segment, and forms a new time series. If the signal is stationary, the series will fluctuate randomly around its mean, without a trend term.
[0134] In the round-based testing method, the number of rounds mean ,variance In the formula, The number of equal segments for the sample records. The number of segments with a mean greater than the median. The number of segments whose mean is less than the median, when and When all are greater than 15, the statistical measure asymptotically follows a normal distribution The number of rounds can be calculated for the sequence being examined. or When given a significance level At that time, if or If the sequence is stationary, then the measured random process is considered stationary; otherwise, the sequence is non-stationary.
[0135] The inversion test is a method to test for a possible trend in the mean or variance of a time series. First, a time series with a mean or variance is calculated; let this series be... Whenever it appears When, defined as A reverse order. For a given one Its inversion number is defined as Total number of inversions The occurrence of random number sequences mean ,variance Statistic asymptotically follows a normal distribution ,if If the value is within ±1.96, the data is considered approximately stationary. If... A large value indicates that the series mean (or variance) has an upward trend. A very small value indicates that the mean or variance of the sequence has a decreasing trend.
[0136] The power spectrum is calculated using at least one of the periodogram method, Welch method, Blackman-Tukey method, and maximum entropy method. The periodogram method is defined as follows: ,in For the power spectral density using the periodogram method, The sampling interval is... The number of sampling points. For frequency index, For time indexing, The imaginary unit, For time series data, The mean and standard deviation of the periodogram method's spectral estimate are equal to the corresponding true power spectral density value. Therefore, the periodogram method is a non-uniform spectral estimator, and its estimate fluctuates around the true value. Even if the sample length increases to infinity, the variance is not zero. However, the periodogram method has the highest frequency resolution.
[0137] Welch's method is defined as follows: ,in The power spectral density is obtained using the Welch method. For the number of segments in the Welch method, The number of segments, , For window function power, For window functions, , For the first The time series data is divided into segments. The Welch method applies a non-rectangular window to each segment of data. Because the window function smoothly transitions to zero on both sides, it reduces the truncation effect when segmenting the data. The results obtained by the Welch method are... It is an unbiased spectral estimation, when the number of segments When the variance increases, the variance decreases. The estimates tend to converge.
[0138] The Blackman-Tukey method is defined as follows: ,in The power spectral density is obtained using the Blackman-Tukey method. For the Blackman-Tukey method delay length, Let be the autocorrelation function of the sequence. Due to windowing truncation of the autocorrelation function, the variance of the spectral estimation using the Blackman-Tukey method is reduced compared to the periodogram, resulting in smoother spectral lines. However, this smoothing effect reduces the resolution of the spectral lines. The smaller the value, the smaller the variance, and the lower the resolution.

Angular frequency, For the prediction error filter coefficients, denoted as the order of the maximum entropy method model.
[0140] The estimated power spectrum is fitted with a track irregularity spectrum curve. First, the discrete spectrum data is preprocessed, including peak removal and smoothing, to make the track spectrum curve smoother. Peak removal removes spectral peaks of periodic wavelength components from the original track spectrum curve, sets the wavelength range of the peaks, and fills in the data using linear interpolation or spline curve interpolation after removing abnormal peaks. Smoothing uses one of the following methods: five-point cubic smoothing, multi-point moving average, or envelope averaging, to eliminate local fluctuations. Fine interpolation is then performed on the peak-removed and smoothed track irregularity spectrum data using linear interpolation or spline curve interpolation, inserting data points in the long-wavelength range to obtain the track spectrum curve under uniform sampling conditions.
[0141] The fitting theory formula is as follows Among them This is the scaling factor for the power spectrum curve, controlling the overall amplitude scaling of the spectral lines. , and The cutoff frequency parameter is used to adjust the segmentation positions of high, mid, and low frequency spectral lines. , , The power factor controls the steepness of the spectral line in different frequency bands; the larger the value, the steeper the spectral line. This refers to the spatial frequency.
[0142] A segmented approach is used for curve fitting to improve the fitting accuracy of each frequency band and avoid numerical calculation divergence. Curve fitting is based on the least squares principle, including linear least squares fitting and nonlinear least squares fitting.

It can be written as a normal equation. ,in To design the matrix, if If the value is full rank, then Cholesky decomposition is used to solve for the parameters. .

[0163] The displacement signal is fed into the control system of the vertical and lateral excitation actuators and applied to the vehicle to simulate the actual operating state of the vehicle.
[0164] In this embodiment, the calculated displacement signals of horizontal irregularities, vertical irregularities, and track-direction irregularities are used as inputs and imported into the control systems of the vertical and lateral vibration actuators. The displacement signals are obtained through testing on the actual operating line using an onboard track detection system and processed by track spectrum calculation to reflect the true geometric state of the track beam. A signal processing module is pre-set in the control system to filter and amplify the displacement signals, ensuring accurate actuator driving.
[0165] The vertical vibration actuator receives vertical irregularity displacement signals to simulate the vertical dynamic load of the track beam. The actuator generates corresponding vertical vibrations based on signal changes, which are transmitted to the vehicle's running wheels via a rolling vibration simulation device. Driven by the vertical vibration actuator, the rolling vibration simulation device's roller surface is inlaid with materials of varying roughness to realistically simulate the frictional changes of the track beam surface. Simultaneously, the lateral vibration actuator receives horizontal and track-direction irregularity displacement signals to simulate the lateral outward dynamic load of the guide wheels and stabilizing wheels. Driven by the lateral vibration actuator, the lateral vibration simulation device applies lateral excitation to the vehicle via a pulley system.
[0166] The displacement signal is input to the control system in time-series form, with the sampling interval set according to the actual detection data. The control system adopts a closed-loop feedback mechanism to adjust the output force and displacement of the actuators in real time, ensuring that the excitation signal is consistent with the measured track irregularities. Through the coordinated operation of the rolling vibration simulation device and the lateral vibration simulation device, the vehicle reproduces the vibration state during actual operation on the test bench. Vertical excitation simulates the undulations of the track beam, and lateral excitation simulates the lateral concavity and convexity of the track beam, thus comprehensively replicating the vehicle's dynamic behavior on the track.
[0167] During the simulation, the vehicle is longitudinally fixed by a traction bar and reaction frame, allowing for minor lateral and vertical displacements. Axle load simulation actuators provide static loads, simulating the vehicle's own weight and the load itself. The entire system is synchronously managed by an integrated control unit, ensuring that each actuator operates according to preset signals.
[0168] By deploying sensors on the vehicle, operational stability parameters are tested, and vehicle vibration reliability tests are conducted.
[0169] In this embodiment, multiple sensors are deployed on the straddle-type monorail vehicle to test the vehicle's running stability parameters in real time. The sensors are installed at key locations on the car body, bogie, and wheel system to collect vehicle dynamic performance indicators, including overturning coefficient, horizontal wheel radial force, car body roll angle, and stability index, while simultaneously monitoring vibration, stress, and noise data. These sensors are connected through a data acquisition system to ensure signal synchronization and accurate recording.
[0170] During testing, the measured track beam irregularity displacement signal is fed into the control systems of the vertical and lateral vibration actuators and repeatedly applied to the vehicle. The excitation signal drives the rolling vibration simulation device and the lateral vibration simulation device to simulate the dynamic load of the vehicle during actual operation. By repeatedly exciting the straddle-type monorail bogie, a whole-vehicle vibration reliability test is conducted to comprehensively evaluate the vehicle's performance under simulated operating conditions. The test can be conducted simultaneously or in stages, effectively verifying vehicle reliability and saving time and costs.
