[0001] The present invention relates to a measurement method, a measurement device, a measurement system, and a measurement program. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 describes a method for evaluating the dynamic response of a railway bridge, which includes providing an accelerometer for measuring vertical acceleration in each of the front and rear cars of a train, measuring the vertical acceleration of the front and rear cars while the train is running, extracting measurement data of the accelerometers when passing over a bridge, calculating an acceleration amplification factor by dividing the feature amount of the vertical acceleration measured by the accelerometer of the rear car by the feature amount of the vertical acceleration measured by the front car, and applying the acceleration amplification factor to a previously obtained relational expression between the bridge's impact coefficient and the acceleration amplification factor to calculate the bridge's impact coefficient (dynamic response component). This dynamic response evaluation method focuses on the fact that almost no dynamic response occurs in the bridge when the front car passes, and that static and dynamic responses occur in the bridge when the rear car passes, and can easily and comprehensively calculate the bridge's impact coefficient (dynamic response component) based on the vertical acceleration measured by the accelerometers provided in each of the front and rear cars of the train.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiments described below do not unduly limit the contents of the present invention described in the claims. Furthermore, not all of the configurations described below are necessarily essential components of the present invention.

[0011] 1. First embodiment 1-1. Measurement system configuration The moving object passing through the superstructure of the bridge, which is the structure according to this embodiment, is a vehicle or railroad car that is heavy and can be measured by BWIM. BWIM is an abbreviation for Bridge Weigh in Motion, and is a technology that measures the weight, number of axles, etc. of the moving object passing through the bridge by treating the bridge as a "scale" and measuring the deformation of the bridge. The superstructure of the bridge, which can analyze the weight of the moving object passing through from the response such as deformation and strain, is a structure in which BWIM functions, and the BWIM system that applies the physical process between the action on the superstructure of the bridge and the response makes it possible to measure the weight of the moving object passing through. In the following, a measurement system for realizing the measurement method of this embodiment will be described using a case where the moving object is a railroad car as an example.

[0012] Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a measurement system according to this embodiment. As shown in Fig. 1, a measurement system 10 according to this embodiment includes a measurement device 1 and at least one sensor 2 provided on a superstructure 7 of a bridge 5. The measurement system 10 may also include a monitoring device 3.

[0013] The bridge 5 is composed of a superstructure 7 and a substructure 8. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the superstructure 7 taken along line AA in FIG. 1. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the superstructure 7 includes a bridge deck 7a including a deck F, a main girder G, a cross girder (not shown), a support 7b, a rail 7c, a sleeper 7d, and a ballast 7e. As shown in FIG. 1, the substructure 8 includes a pier 8a and an abutment 8b. The superstructure 7 is a structure that is bridged over either one of the adjacent abutments 8b and pier 8a, two adjacent abutments 8b, or two adjacent piers 8a. Both ends of the superstructure 7 are located at the positions of the adjacent abutments 8b and pier 8a, the positions of the two adjacent abutments 8b, or the positions of the two adjacent piers 8a.

[0014] When the railcar 6 enters the superstructure 7, the load of the railcar 6 causes the superstructure 7 to bend, but because the railcar 6 is made up of multiple cars coupled together, a phenomenon occurs in which the bending of the superstructure 7 repeats periodically as each car passes. This phenomenon is called a static response. On the other hand, since the superstructure 7 has a natural vibration frequency as a structure, the natural vibration of the superstructure 7 may be excited when the railcar 6 passes over the superstructure 7. The excitation of the natural vibration of the superstructure 7 causes a phenomenon in which the bending of the superstructure 7 repeats periodically. This phenomenon is called a dynamic response.

[0015] The measurement device 1 and each sensor 2 are connected, for example, by a cable (not shown) and communicate with each other via a communication network such as CAN. CAN is an abbreviation for Controller Area Network. Alternatively, the measurement device 1 and each sensor 2 may communicate with each other via a wireless network.

[0016] Each sensor 2 outputs data used to calculate static and dynamic responses when a railcar 6, which is a moving body, moves on a superstructure 7, which is a structure. In this embodiment, each sensor 2 is an acceleration sensor, and may be, for example, a quartz acceleration sensor or a MEMS acceleration sensor. MEMS is an abbreviation for Micro Electro Mechanical Systems.

[0017] In this embodiment, each sensor 2 is installed in the longitudinal center of the superstructure 7, specifically, in the longitudinal center of the main girder G. However, it is sufficient for each sensor 2 to be able to detect acceleration for calculating static and dynamic responses, and the installation position is not limited to the central part of the superstructure 7. If each sensor 2 is installed on the deck F of the superstructure 7, there is a risk that it will be destroyed by the running of the railway vehicle 6, and there is also a risk that the measurement accuracy will be affected by local deformation of the bridge deck 7a. Therefore, in the example of Figs. 1 and 2, each sensor 2 is installed on the main girder G of the superstructure 7.

[0018] The floor plates F, main girders G, etc. of the superstructure 7 are deflected in the vertical direction due to the load of the railway vehicle 6 passing over the superstructure 7. Each sensor 2 detects the acceleration of the deflection of the floor plates F and main girders G due to the load of the railway vehicle 6 passing over the superstructure 7.

[0019] The measurement device 1 calculates the static response and the dynamic response when the railway vehicle 6 passes over the superstructure 7, based on the acceleration data output from each sensor 2. The measurement device 1 is installed, for example, on the bridge abutment 8b.

[0020] The measuring device 1 and the monitoring device 3 can communicate with each other via a communication network 4, such as a wireless network for mobile phones and the Internet. The measuring device 1 transmits measurement data including static and dynamic responses when a railway vehicle 6 passes over an upper structure 7 to the monitoring device 3. The monitoring device 3 stores the information in a storage device (not shown) and may perform processes such as monitoring the railway vehicle 6 and determining whether there is an abnormality in the upper structure 7 based on the information.

[0021] In this embodiment, the bridge 5 is a railway bridge, for example, a steel bridge, a girder bridge, an RC bridge, etc. RC is an abbreviation for Reinforced Concrete.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, an observation point R is set in association with the sensor 2. In the example of FIG. 2, the observation point R is set at a position on the surface of the superstructure 7 vertically above the sensor 2 provided on the main girder G. That is, the sensor 2 is an observation device that observes the observation point R, detects a physical quantity that is a response to the action of multiple parts of the railway vehicle 6 moving on the superstructure 7, which is a structure, on the observation point R, and outputs data including the detected physical quantity. For example, each of the multiple parts of the railway vehicle 6 is an axle or a wheel, but hereinafter, it is assumed that it is an axle. Also, in this embodiment, each sensor 2 is an acceleration sensor, and detects acceleration as a physical quantity. The sensor 2 may be provided at a position where it can detect the acceleration generated at the observation point R due to the traveling of the railway vehicle 6, but it is preferable to provide it at a position close to the vertical of the observation point R.

[0023] The number and installation positions of the sensors 2 are not limited to the examples shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and various modifications are possible.

[0024] The measurement device 1 acquires acceleration in a direction intersecting with the plane of the superstructure 7 along which the railcar 6 moves, based on the acceleration data output from the sensor 2. The plane of the superstructure 7 along which the railcar 6 moves is defined by the direction along which the railcar 6 moves, i.e., the X direction which is the longitudinal direction of the superstructure 7, and the direction perpendicular to the direction along which the railcar 6 moves, i.e., the Y direction which is the width direction of the superstructure 7. As the railcar 6 travels, the observation point R is deflected in a direction perpendicular to the X and Y directions. Therefore, in order to accurately calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the deflection, it is desirable for the measurement device 1 to acquire acceleration in a direction perpendicular to the X and Y directions, i.e., the Z direction which is the normal direction of the floor panel F.

[0025] 3 is a diagram illustrating the acceleration detected by the sensor 2. The sensor 2 is an acceleration sensor that detects acceleration occurring in each of three axial directions that are perpendicular to each other.

[0026] In order to detect the acceleration of the deflection at observation point R due to the running of the railway vehicle 6, the sensor 2 is installed so that one of the three detection axes, the x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis, intersects with the X-direction and the Y-direction. In Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the sensor 2 is installed so that the first axis intersects with the X-direction and the Y-direction. Since the observation point R deflects in a direction perpendicular to the X-direction and the Y-direction, in order to accurately detect the acceleration of the deflection, ideally the sensor 2 is installed so that the first axis is aligned with the Z-direction perpendicular to the X-direction and the Y-direction, i.e., the normal direction of the floor panel F.

[0027] However, when the sensor 2 is installed on the superstructure 7, the installation location may be tilted. Even if one of the three detection axes of the sensor 2 is not installed in the normal direction of the floor board F, the error is small and negligible as long as it is roughly oriented in the normal direction. Furthermore, even if one of the three detection axes of the sensor 2 is not installed in the normal direction of the floor board F, the measurement device 1 can correct the detection error due to the tilt of the sensor 2 by using a three-axis composite acceleration obtained by combining the accelerations of the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis. Furthermore, the sensor 2 may be a one-axis acceleration sensor that detects at least the acceleration occurring in a direction approximately parallel to the vertical direction, or the acceleration in the normal direction of the floor board F.

[0028] The measurement method according to this embodiment, which is executed by the measurement apparatus 1, will be described in detail below.

[0029] 1-2. Details of the measurement method First, the measuring device 1 integrates acceleration data a(k) output from the sensor 2, which is an acceleration sensor, to generate speed data v(k) as shown in equation (1), and further integrates the speed data v(k) to generate measurement data u(k) as shown in equation (2). The acceleration data a(k) is data of acceleration change from which unnecessary acceleration bias has been removed in order to calculate the displacement change when the railroad vehicle 6 passes over the bridge 5. For example, the acceleration immediately before the railroad vehicle 6 passes over the bridge 5 may be set to 0, and the acceleration change thereafter may be set as the acceleration data a(k). In equations (1) and (2), k is the sample number, and ΔT is the time interval between samples. The measurement data u(k) is data of the displacement of the observation point R caused by the running of the railroad vehicle 6.

[0030]

number

[0031]

number

[0032] Measurement data u(k), which has sample number k as a variable, is converted into measurement data u(t), which has time t as a variable, where t = kΔT. An example of the measurement data u(t) is shown in Figure 4. The measurement data u(t) is generated based on acceleration data a(t) output from sensor 2 observing observation point R, and is therefore data based on acceleration, which is a response to the action of multiple axles of railway vehicle 6 moving on superstructure 7 on observation point R.

[0033] Next, the measurement device 1 detects the fundamental frequency F f In order to reduce the vibration components and their harmonics, the measurement data u(t) is filtered to obtain the measurement data u lp The filtering process may be, for example, low-pass filtering or band-pass filtering.

[0034] Specifically, the measurement device 1 first performs a fast Fourier transform on the measurement data u(t) to calculate the power spectrum density, and identifies the peak of the power spectrum density as the fundamental frequency F f FIG. 5 shows the power spectrum density obtained by fast Fourier transform of the measurement data u(t) in FIG. 4. In the example in FIG. 5, the fundamental frequency F f is calculated to be about 3 Hz. Then, the measurement device 1 calculates the fundamental frequency F f From the fundamental period T f Calculate the fundamental period T f The moving average interval k is adjusted to the time resolution of the data by dividing by ΔT. mf Calculate the fundamental period T f is the fundamental frequency F f is the period corresponding to T f >2ΔT.

[0035]

[0036]

number

[0037] Then, the measurement device 1 performs filtering by calculating the fundamental period T f The measurement data u(t) is processed by moving average to reduce the vibration components contained in the measurement data u(t) lp This moving average process not only requires a small amount of calculation, but also generates the fundamental frequency F f The attenuation of the signal component and its harmonic components is very large, so the vibration components are effectively reduced in the measurement data u lp (t) is obtained. Figure 6 shows the measurement data u lp As shown in FIG. 6, the measured data u(t) is almost completely free of vibration components. lp (t) is obtained.

[0038]

number

[0039] In addition, the measurement device 1 performs filtering by applying a fundamental frequency F f The measurement data u is processed by FIR filtering to attenuate the signal components with frequencies above lp (t) may be generated. FIR stands for Finite Impulse Response. This FIR filter process requires more calculations than the moving average process, but it has a fundamental frequency F f All signal components at these frequencies can be attenuated.

[0040] Next, the measurement device 1 outputs the measurement data u lp The amplitude of (t) is determined by a predetermined coefficient C L and measurement data lp Amplitude u calculated from (t) a The threshold C L u a or threshold C L u a The two times exceeding ti and departure time t o However, 0 <C L < 1, and the amplitude u a For example, the measurement data u lp The amplitude of (t) shifts at time t 1 From time t 2 The average value of the section up to is calculated using formula (6).

[0041]

number

[0042] Approach time t i is the time when the leading axle of the railcar 6 passes through the entrance end of the superstructure 7. o is the time when the rearmost axle of the railway vehicle 6 passes the leading end of the superstructure 7. lp (t) and approach time t i and departure time t o An example of the relationship is shown below.

[0043] Next, the measurement device 1 calculates the advance time t o and approach time t i The difference between the time t s Calculate.

[0044]

number

[0045] In addition, the measurement device 1 calculates the number of railcars 6, C, by using the formula (8). T As the transit time t s and the fundamental frequency F f Calculate the largest integer less than or equal to the product of x and x minus 1.

[0046]

number

[0047] Measuring device 1 measures the approach time t i , entry time t o , transit time t s and number of vehicles C T In the example of FIG. 7, the observation information including the approach time t i =7.155 seconds, advance time t o =12.845 seconds, transit time t s =5.69 seconds, number of vehicles C T =16.

[0048] Then, the measurement device 1 performs subsequent processing based on the observation information and environmental information including the dimensions of the railway vehicle 6 and the dimensions of the superstructure 7 that have been created in advance.

[0049] The environmental information may include dimensions of the superstructure 7, for example the length L of the superstructure 7. B and the position L of observation point R x Including the length L of the superstructure 7 B is the distance between the entrance end and exit end of the superstructure 7. Also, the position L of the observation point R x is the distance from the entrance end of the superstructure 7 to the observation point R. The environmental information also includes the dimensions of the railcar 6, for example, the length L of each car of the railcar 6. C (C m ), number of axles for each vehicle a T (C m ) and the distance between the axles of each vehicle La(a w (C m ,n)) is included. C m is the vehicle number, and the length of each vehicle L C (C m ) starts with C m The distance between the two ends of the th car. The number of axles in each car is a T (C m ) starts with C m n is the axle number of each vehicle, 1≦n≦a T (C m ) The distance between the axles of each vehicle is La(a w (C m ,n)) is C from the beginning when n=1.m The distance between the tip of the th car and the first axle from the front, and when n≧2, the distance between the n-1th axle from the front and the nth axle. m Length of the th vehicle L C (C m ) and the distance between the axles La(a w (C m ,n)) is shown below. The dimensions of the railway vehicle 6 and the dimensions of the superstructure 7 can be measured by known methods. A database of the dimensions of the railway vehicle 6 passing over the bridge 5 may be created in advance, and the dimensions of the relevant vehicle may be referenced based on the passing time.

[0050] In addition, when it is assumed that a railway vehicle 6 having an arbitrary number of cars with the same dimensions is traveling on the superstructure 7 of the bridge 5, the environmental information is the length L C (C m ), number of axles a T (C m ) and the distance between the axles La(a w (C m ,n)).

[0292] In this way, the measurement program 131 is a program that causes the measurement device 1, which is a computer, to execute each procedure of the flowchart shown in FIG.

[0299] 3. Variations The present invention is not limited to the present embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the present invention.

[0300] In each of the above embodiments, the sensor 2, which is the observation device, is an acceleration sensor that outputs acceleration data a(k), but the observation device is not limited to an acceleration sensor. For example, the observation device may be an impact sensor, a pressure sensor, a strain gauge, an image measuring device, a load cell, or a displacement gauge.

[0301] The impact sensor detects impact acceleration as a response to an action on each axle of the railway vehicle 6 at observation point R. The pressure sensor, strain gauge, and load cell detect stress changes as a response to an action on each axle of the railway vehicle 6 at observation point R. The image measuring device uses image processing to detect displacement as a response to an action on each axle of the railway vehicle 6 at observation point R. The displacement gauge is, for example, a contact type displacement gauge, a ring type displacement gauge, a laser displacement gauge, a pressure sensor, or a displacement measuring device using optical fiber, and detects displacement as a response to an action on each axle of the railway vehicle 6 at observation point R.

[0302] As an example, FIG. 43 shows a configuration example of the measurement system 10 using a ring-type displacement meter as the observation device. FIG. 44 shows a configuration example of the measurement system 10 using an image measuring device as the observation device. In FIG. 43 and FIG. 44, the same components as those in FIG. 1 are given the same reference numerals, and their description will be omitted. In the measurement system 10 shown in FIG. 43, a piano wire 41 is fixed between the upper surface of the ring-type displacement meter 40 and the lower surface of the main girder G directly above it, and the ring-type displacement meter 40 measures the displacement of the piano wire 41 due to the deflection of the superstructure 7 and transmits the measured displacement data to the measurement device 1. The measurement device 1 generates measurement data 135 based on the displacement data transmitted from the ring-type displacement meter 40. In the measurement system 10 shown in FIG. 44, a camera 50 transmits an image of a target 51 provided on the side of the main girder G to the measurement device 1. The measuring device 1 processes the image transmitted from the camera 50, calculates the displacement of the target 51 due to the deflection of the upper structure 7 to generate displacement data, and generates the measurement data 135 based on the generated displacement data. In the example of Fig. 44, the measuring device 1 generates the displacement data as an image measuring device, but an image measuring device (not shown) different from the measuring device 1 may generate the displacement data by image processing.

[0303] In addition, in each of the above embodiments, the bridge 5 is a railway bridge, and the moving body moving on the bridge 5 is a railway vehicle 6, but the bridge 5 may be a road bridge, and the moving body moving on the bridge 5 may be a vehicle such as an automobile, a tram, a truck, or a construction vehicle. FIG. 45 shows a configuration example of the measurement system 10 when the bridge 5 is a road bridge and a vehicle 6a moves on the bridge 5. In FIG. 45, the same components as in FIG. 1 are given the same reference numerals. As shown in FIG. 45, the bridge 5, which is a road bridge, is composed of a superstructure 7 and a substructure 8, similar to a railway bridge. FIG. 46 is a cross-sectional view of the superstructure 7 cut along the line AA in FIG. 45. As shown in FIGS. 45 and 46, the superstructure 7 includes a bridge deck 7a composed of a deck plate F, a main girder G, a cross girder (not shown), and a support 7b. As shown in FIG. 45, the substructure 8 includes a pier 8a and an abutment 8b. The superstructure 7 is a structure that spans either one of adjacent abutments 8b and piers 8a, two adjacent abutments 8b, or two adjacent piers 8a. Both ends of the superstructure 7 are located at the positions of adjacent abutments 8b and piers 8a, two adjacent abutments 8b, or two adjacent piers 8a. The bridge 5 is, for example, a steel bridge, a girder bridge, an RC bridge, or the like.

[0304] Each sensor 2 is installed in the longitudinal center of the superstructure 7, specifically, in the longitudinal center of the main girder G. However, as long as each sensor 2 is capable of detecting acceleration for calculating the displacement of the superstructure 7, its installation position is not limited to the central part of the superstructure 7.
