Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of train positioning, in particular to a strapdown inertial navigation gateway device and system dedicated to trains. Background Art

[0002] Currently, obtaining real-time positioning information is crucial for trains while in motion. Reliable positioning data facilitates train monitoring and scheduling, helping to detect and prevent safety issues such as derailments and deviations. It also optimizes train scheduling and driving plans, reduces delays, and provides passengers with real-time arrival information and train location updates. Train positioning information is typically obtained via GPS or Beidou satellites. However, when trains pass through tunnels or areas with densely populated buildings, positioning information may be lost due to short periods of weak or unavailable signals.

[0003] Simply put, most of the existing train positioning solutions have the following problems: 1. Inaccurate positioning information. When passing through areas with poor satellite signals, the positioning information will be deviated and cannot be calibrated; 2. Positioning information is lost. When passing through areas such as tunnels where satellites cannot be searched, positioning information cannot be obtained, resulting in information loss.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, the framework of the train-specific strapdown inertial navigation gateway device is as follows: Figure 1 This device utilizes a high-performance industrial-grade 32-bit communication processor and industrial-grade wireless modules, with an embedded real-time operating system as its software support platform. It is also equipped with a strapdown inertial navigation module and a Zhongke Micro-Satellite Navigation module. The two positioning modules feature a mutual compensation mechanism, and positioning information is converted by the two modules to ultimately achieve more accurate positioning information. It also provides two RS232 and 485 transceiver modules, two Ethernet LANs, one Ethernet WAN / LAN multiplexer port, and a WiFi module. It can simultaneously connect to serial, Ethernet, and WiFi devices, enabling positioning and routing Internet access.
