Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a method for predicting the waveform of a micro-pressure wave emitted from the tunnel entrance on the opposite side when a moving object enters the tunnel entrance, a waveform prediction device for the method, and a micro-pressure wave waveform prediction program. [Background technology]

[0002] Tunnel micro-pressure waves are pressure waves radiated from the tunnel exit when the nose of a train enters the tunnel entrance, and are a cause of noise and vibration along railway tracks. A conventional method for predicting the propagation of tunnel compression waves involves installing multiple pressure sensors at predetermined intervals along the length of an actual tunnel, measuring the tunnel compression waves generated when a train enters the tunnel at high speed using these pressure sensors, and predicting the pressure propagation when the train enters the tunnel at a higher speed than the actual measured data based on the measurement data from these pressure sensors (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Furthermore, conventional predictions of tunnel micro-pressure waves using unsteady acoustic analysis involve performing numerical analysis using acoustic techniques to predict the formation of tunnel compression waves, the propagation of tunnel compression waves, and the radiation of micro-pressure waves when tunnel compression waves propagate through a slab track tunnel (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1).

[0004] [Non-Patent Document 1] Hidehiko Okubo and three others, "Prediction of tunnel micro-pressure waves using unsteady acoustic analysis," Railway Technical Research Institute Report, Kenyusha, 2020, Vol. 34, No. 3, pp. 23-10 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Micro-pressure waves are associated with the waveform of the compression wave inside the tunnel that reaches the tunnel exit, details of the tunnel exit entrance hood, and data on the surrounding terrain. To predict micro-pressure waves at a tunnel exit, the compression wave inside the tunnel is usually measured or predicted, and the micro-pressure waves around the exit are calculated using data on the tunnel exit entrance hood and data on the surrounding terrain. This can be expressed as the following equation 1.

[0006]

number

[0007] Here, p shown in Equation 1 i is the waveform of the micro-pressure wave at measurement point i, and g i is the transfer function at measurement point i, h is the pressure gradient waveform of the compression wave in the tunnel that reaches the tunnel exit, and * is the convolution integral. i includes the effects of the tunnel exit entrance hood and topography, and is independent of the pressure gradient waveform h. If we convert both sides of equation 1 into the frequency domain by Fourier transform, we obtain the following equation 2.

[0008]

number

[0009] Here, [f] in Equation 2 is the Fourier transform of f. In this case, the waveform (output) p of the micro-pressure wave at a certain measurement point i i In order to predict this, the pressure gradient waveform (input) h of the compression wave inside the tunnel is required.

[0010] Conventional methods for predicting the propagation of compression waves in tunnels involve measuring the pressure gradient waveform h of the compression wave inside the tunnel using a pressure sensor installed inside the tunnel. However, measuring the pressure gradient waveform h requires a dedicated measuring instrument and is difficult, as it requires specialized engineers to install the measuring instrument inside the tunnel during limited hours at night when trains are not running. For this reason, it is desirable to measure micro-pressure waves using commercially available measuring instruments outside the tunnel, where it is technically relatively easy to measure.

[0011] Railway operators with railway business licenses, as well as railway construction companies that build, survey, or lease railways, can conduct measurements "inside the fence," which is on their own property, such as within Shinkansen viaducts and trenches. However, measurements "inside the fence" are cumbersome, requiring coordination with related departments such as safety management and administrative procedures, and the measurement process is extensive, requiring high-strength temporary structures to avoid impeding train traffic. On the other hand, measurements "outside the fence," which are outside the company's property, can be performed simply by placing a measuring device on a camera tripod on the ground, away from the tracks. However, measurements "outside the fence" can be performed on private property such as neighboring residents' land, privately owned and used private roads, or public property such as public roads, which limits the number of measurement points. As such, there are advantages and disadvantages to both "inside the fence" and "outside the fence" measurements, and the measurement points for micropressure waves vary depending on the railway operator. For this reason, it becomes necessary to predict the micro-pressure wave at a desired measurement point from the actual measurement value of the micro-pressure wave at an arbitrary measurement point.

[0012] In addition, the number of measurement points for micro-pressure waves may be limited due to constraints on the number of measuring instruments and personnel, work safety and convenience, etc. For this reason, there is a constant need to predict micro-pressure waves at a desired measurement point from the actual measurements of micro-pressure waves at any measurement point.

[0013] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for predicting the waveform of a micro-pressure wave, a waveform prediction device, and a micro-pressure wave waveform prediction program that can easily predict the waveform of a micro-pressure wave at a desired point based on the actual measured value of the waveform of the micro-pressure wave measured at any point.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0021] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. A train 1 shown in FIG. 2 is a moving object moving along a track 2. The train 1 is, for example, a railway vehicle that runs on the Shinkansen (registered trademark) at a high speed of 320 km / h or more. The track 2 is a track (passageway) on which the train 1 runs. As shown in FIG. 3, the track 2 is a double track consisting of two main tracks, an up main track 2a and a down main track 2b. The tunnel 3 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is a fixed structure (civil engineering structure) that penetrates underground, such as a mountainside, to allow the train 1 to pass through. The tunnel 3 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is a double-track railway tunnel (double-track tunnel) that accommodates two main tracks 2a and 2b within a single fixed structure. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the tunnel 3 has entrances 3a and 3b that serve as entrances and exits for the train 1 to enter and exit.

[0022] Micro-pressure wave W1 shown in Figures 2 and 3 is a pressure wave radiated from the tunnel entrance 3b on the opposite side when train 1 enters the tunnel entrance 3a. As shown in Figure 2, a compression wave W2 (hereinafter referred to as tunnel compression wave) generated in tunnel 3 ahead of train 1 when train 1 enters the tunnel entrance 3a propagates through tunnel 3, becoming a pulsed pressure wave (tunnel micro-pressure wave) that radiates to the outside from the entrance 3b on the opposite side from the entrance 3a on the train's entry side. Micro-pressure wave W1 can cause environmental problems by generating impact noise near the entrance 3b and shaking fixtures and fittings of houses near the entrance 3b. The magnitude of micro-pressure wave W1 is roughly proportional to the rise of tunnel compression wave W2 and is determined by the maximum value of the time derivative (pressure gradient waveform h) of tunnel compression wave W2. The more rapidly tunnel compression wave W2 rises, the larger the micro-pressure wave W1. The micro-pressure wave W1 can be reduced by, for example, taking measures on the ground side such as installing a tunnel entrance hood that covers the tunnel entrance 3a into which the train 1 enters, with a length corresponding to the speed of the train 1, or by taking measures on the vehicle side such as lengthening the shape of the front end of the train 1 or adjusting the cross-sectional area distribution of the front end, so that the compression wave W2 inside the tunnel rises as slowly as possible (reducing the maximum value of the pressure gradient of the compression wave W2 inside the tunnel).

[0023] Point X1 shown in Figures 3 and 4 is a measurement point for measuring the waveform p1 of the micro-pressure wave W1 radiated from the tunnel entrance 3b on the opposite side of the tunnel 3. Point X2 is a prediction point for predicting the waveform p2 of the micro-pressure wave W1 radiated from the tunnel entrance 3b on the opposite side of the tunnel 3.

[0024] The waveform prediction system 4 shown in Fig. 1 is a system that predicts the waveform p2 of the micro-pressure wave W1 that is emitted from the tunnel entrance 3b on the opposite side when a train 1 enters the tunnel entrance 3a. The waveform prediction system 4 includes a waveform measurement device 5 and a waveform prediction device 6. The waveform prediction system 4 predicts the waveform p2 of the micro-pressure wave W1 at point X2 using the waveform prediction device 6 based on the waveform p1 of the micro-pressure wave W1 measured at point X1 by the waveform measurement device 5.

[0025] The waveform measurement device 5 is a device that measures the waveform p1 of the micro-pressure wave W1 emitted from the entrance 3b on the opposite side of the tunnel 3. The waveform measurement device 5 is placed at point X1, and transmits waveform data relating to the waveform p2 of the micro-pressure wave W1 measured at point X1 to the waveform prediction device 6. The waveform measurement device 5 includes a pressure meter such as a microphone that converts the sound pressure of the micro-pressure wave W1 into an electrical signal and outputs it, a signal processing device that processes the output signal of this pressure meter, a storage device that stores waveform data relating to the waveform p2 of the micro-pressure wave W1 output by the signal processing device, and a transmission device that transmits this waveform data to the waveform prediction device 6.

[0026] The waveform prediction device 6 is a device that predicts the waveform p2 of the micro-pressure wave W1 that will be emitted from the tunnel entrance 3b on the opposite side when the train 1 enters the tunnel entrance 3a. The waveform prediction device 6 predicts the waveform p2 of the micro-pressure wave W1 at point X2 based on the waveform p1 of the micro-pressure wave W1 that is actually measured at point X1. The waveform prediction device 6 includes a waveform data input unit 7, a waveform prediction unit 8, a reference waveform setting unit 9, a data storage unit 10, a waveform prediction program storage unit 11, a display unit 12, and a control unit 13. The waveform prediction device 6 is configured, for example, by a personal computer, and executes predetermined processing according to the waveform prediction program.

[0027] Here, the prediction principle of the waveform prediction device 6 will be explained. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, in order to predict the waveform p2 of the micro-pressure wave W1 at point X2, the pressure gradient waveform h at the tunnel entrance (tunnel exit) 3b on the opposite side of the tunnel 3 is usually required as shown in Equation 1. Now, suppose we want to predict the waveform p2 of the micro-pressure wave W1 at point X2 from the waveform p1 of the micro-pressure wave W1 actually measured at point X1 shown in Figure 2. In this case, a certain reference pressure gradient waveform h is obtained by theory, simulation, experiment, etc. ref If the waveforms p1 and p2 of the micro-pressure wave W1 at two points X1 and X2 are obtained, the reference pressure gradient waveform h ref Reference waveform p of micro-pressure wave W1 ref,1 ,p ref,2 is expressed by the following equation 3.

[0043] Next, a method for predicting the waveform of a micro-pressure wave according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. 5 is a method for predicting a waveform p2 of a micro-pressure wave W1 radiated from an opposite tunnel entrance 3b when a train 1 enters the tunnel entrance 3a of a tunnel 3. The waveform prediction method #100 includes a waveform measurement step #110, a reference waveform setting step #120, and a waveform prediction step #130.

[0044] Waveform measurement process #110 is a process of measuring waveform p1 of micro-pressure wave W1 at point X1. In waveform measurement process #110, as shown in Figures 2 to 4, when train 1 enters tunnel entrance 3a of tunnel 3, waveform p1 of micro-pressure wave W1 radiating to the outside from tunnel entrance 3b on the opposite side is measured by waveform measurement device 5 at point X1.

[0047] Next, the operation of the micro-pressure wave waveform prediction device according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. The following description will focus on the operation of the control unit 13 shown in FIG. 6, in step (hereinafter referred to as S) 100, the control unit 13 reads the waveform prediction program from the waveform prediction program storage unit 11. When the control unit 13 reads the waveform prediction program, the control unit 13 starts a series of waveform prediction processes.

[0048] In S110, the control unit 13 reads the waveform data of the micro-pressure wave W1 at the point X1 from the data storage unit 10. As a result, the control unit 13 outputs the waveform data of the micro-pressure wave W1 at the point X1 to the waveform prediction unit 8.

[0049] In S120, the reference waveform p of the micro-pressure wave W1 at points X1 and X2 ref,1 ,p ref,2 The control unit 13 reads the reference waveform data for the micro-pressure wave W1 at points X1 and X2 from the data storage unit 10. As a result, the control unit 13 outputs the reference waveform data for the micro-pressure wave W1 at points X1 and X2 to the waveform prediction unit 8.

[0050] In S130, the control unit 13 commands the waveform prediction unit 8 to predict the waveform p2 of the micro-pressure wave W1 at point X2. As a result, the waveform prediction unit 8 calculates the waveform p2 of the micro-pressure wave W1 at point X2 using Equation 6, and the calculated waveform data of the micro-pressure wave W1 at point X2 is stored in the data storage unit 10.

[0051] In S140, the control unit 13 commands the display unit 12 to display the waveform p2 of the micro-pressure wave W1 at the point X2. As a result, the display unit 12 displays the waveform p2 of the micro-pressure wave W1 at the point X2 on the screen.

[0052] The micro-pressure wave waveform prediction method, the waveform prediction device, and the micro-pressure wave waveform prediction program according to the embodiment of the present invention have the following effects. (1) In this embodiment, the waveform p2 of the micro-pressure wave W1 at point X2 is predicted based on the waveform p1 of the micro-pressure wave W1 radiated from the tunnel entrance 3b on the opposite side and measured at point X1. Therefore, there is no need to measure the compression wave W2 inside the tunnel 3 using a dedicated measuring device. Instead, the waveform p2 of the micro-pressure wave W1 at point X2, which is different from point X1, can be easily predicted based on the waveform p1 of the micro-pressure wave W1 measured at any point X1 using a commercially available pressure meter or the like, which allows relatively easy measurement. As a result, the waveform p2 of the micro-pressure wave W1 at the desired prediction point can be estimated from the actual measurement data of the waveform p1 of the micro-pressure wave W1 at a limited number of measurement points. For example, the waveform p2 of the micro-pressure wave W1 at point X2, which is private or public land where unauthorized entry by railway operators and railway construction companies is prohibited, can be estimated based on the waveform p1 of the micro-pressure wave W1 actually measured at point X1, where railway operators and railway construction companies can enter with permission.

[0053] (2) In this embodiment, the reference waveform p of the micro-pressure wave W1 at the points X1 and X2 is determined by theory, simulation, or experiment. ref,1 ,p ref,2 and the waveform p1 of the micro-pressure wave W1 measured at point X1, the waveform p2 of the micro-pressure wave W1 at point X2 is predicted. For this purpose, a reference pressure gradient waveform h ref Reference waveform p of micro-pressure wave W1 at two different points X1 and X2 ref,1 ,p ref,2 By obtaining the above, the waveform p2 of the micro-pressure wave W1 at point X2 can be easily obtained from the waveform p1 of the micro-pressure wave W1 measured at point X1.

[0054] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and alterations are possible as described below, and these are also within the scope of the present invention. (1) In this embodiment, the moving object is a train 1, but the present invention can also be applied to other moving objects, such as a magnetic levitation train or an automobile. In addition, in this embodiment, the waveform p2 of the micro-pressure wave W1 radiating from the entrance 3b on the opposite side of the tunnel 3 is predicted. However, the present invention is not limited to the case where the train 1 enters the tunnel 3. For example, the present invention can also be applied to fixed structures such as a tunnel entrance hood that covers the entrance 3a to reduce the micro-pressure wave W1, a snow shed (avalanche protection work) that covers the tracks from the slope of a mountain to allow avalanches to pass through, a snow shelter that covers the tracks to prevent snowdrifts on the tracks due to blowing snow or drifting snow, a rockfall cover (rockfall protection work) that covers the tracks to allow rocks that roll or fall from a slope to pass through, a grade separation such as a bridge or viaduct that crosses the tracks at a three-dimensional level, a station (bridge-mounted building) with a station building above the tracks, and an overpass that crosses the tracks to cross the tracks. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the train 1 is described as a Shinkansen train, but the present invention can also be applied to conventional line trains that run on conventional lines, or trains for Shinkansen-conventional line through service that can run on both Shinkansen and conventional lines.

[0055] (2) In this embodiment, the case where the track 2 is double-tracked has been described as an example, but the present invention can also be applied to cases where the track 2 is single-tracked or quadruple-tracked. Also, in this embodiment, the case where the waveform p2 of the micro-pressure wave W1 at point X2 is predicted based on the waveform p1 of the micro-pressure wave W1 measured at point X1 has been described as an example, but the present invention can also be applied to cases where the waveform p1 of the micro-pressure wave W1 at point X1 is predicted based on the waveform p2 of the micro-pressure wave W1 measured at point X2.
