[Technical Field]
[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 deflection measuring device that uses an acceleration sensor attached to a railway bridge, sets the output of the acceleration sensor when the railway bridge is in an unloaded state as the zero point of acceleration, corrects the zero point of acceleration output by the acceleration sensor when the railway bridge is in a loaded state, and, after the zero point correction, suppresses drift and estimates the amount of deflection of the railway bridge by applying double integration, Bayesian estimation, Kalman filter, etc. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2019-49095 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] However, in FIG. 3C of Patent Document 1, the displacement is higher in the section where the railway bridge is in a loaded state than in the section where it is not loaded. However, it is clear that the expected displacement waveform is one in which the displacement in the section where the railway bridge is in a loaded state is lower than in the section where it is not loaded. This is similar to the result of suppressing the low-frequency signal components of the displacement waveform along with the low-frequency drift components. Therefore, the method of estimating the amount of deflection using the deflection measuring device described in Patent Document 1 suppresses the low-frequency components of the displacement waveform along with the drift, which may make it impossible to accurately estimate the actual displacement amplitude.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0010] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the embodiments described below do not unduly limit the content of the present invention as defined 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 over the superstructure of a bridge, which is a structure according to this embodiment, is a heavy vehicle or railcar that can be measured using BWIM. BWIM stands for Bridge Weigh in Motion, and is a technology that measures the weight, number of axles, and other characteristics of moving objects passing over a bridge by treating the bridge as a "scale" and measuring the deformation of the bridge. A bridge superstructure, which can analyze the weight of a passing moving object from responses such as deformation and strain, is a structure in which BWIM functions. A BWIM system that applies the physical process between the action on the bridge superstructure and the response makes it possible to measure the weight of passing moving objects. Below, we will explain a measurement system for implementing the measurement method of this embodiment, taking the moving object as an example, a railcar.
[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 accelerometer 2 provided on a superstructure 7 of a bridge 5. The measurement system 10 may also include a monitoring device 3. The measurement system 10 may also include a displacement meter 9, which will be described later.
[0013] The bridge 5 comprises a superstructure 7 and a substructure 8. Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the superstructure 7 taken along line AA in Figure 1. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the superstructure 7 includes a bridge deck 7a consisting of deck plates F, main girders G, and crossbeams (not shown), as well as bearings 7b, rails 7c, sleepers 7d, and ballast 7e. As shown in Figure 1, the substructure 8 includes piers 8a and abutments 8b. The superstructure 7 is a structure spanning either 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.
[0014] When the railway vehicle 6 enters the superstructure 7, the load of the railway vehicle 6 causes the superstructure 7 to deflect, but because the railway vehicle 6 is made up of multiple cars coupled together, the deflection of the superstructure 7 is repeated periodically as each car passes. 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 railway vehicle 6 passes over the superstructure 7. The excitation of the natural vibration of the superstructure 7 causes the deflection of the superstructure 7 to be repeated periodically.
[0015] The measurement device 1 and each accelerometer 2 are connected, for example, by a cable (not shown) and communicate with each other via a communication network such as CAN (Controller Area Network). Alternatively, the measurement device 1 and each accelerometer 2 may communicate with each other via a wireless network.
[0016] Each accelerometer 2 outputs acceleration data used to estimate the amplitude of displacement due to deflection of the superstructure 7 when the railcar 6, which is a moving body, moves on the superstructure 7, which is a structure. The accelerometer 2 may be, for example, an accelerometer using a quartz acceleration sensor or an accelerometer using a MEMS sensor. MEMS stands for Micro Electro Mechanical Systems. It is an abbreviation for Systems.
[0017] In this embodiment, each accelerometer 2 is installed in the longitudinal center of the superstructure 7, specifically, in the longitudinal center of the main girder G. However, each accelerometer 2 only needs to be able to detect acceleration for estimating the amplitude of displacement of the superstructure 7, and its installation position is not limited to the central part of the superstructure 7. If each accelerometer 2 were installed on the deck F of the superstructure 7, there would be a risk of it being destroyed by the running railway vehicle 6, and there would also be a risk that the measurement accuracy would be affected by local deformation of the bridge deck 7a. Therefore, in the example of FIGS. 1 and 2, each accelerometer 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 accelerometer 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 estimates the amplitude of displacement of the superstructure 7 when the railway vehicle 6 passes over the superstructure 7, based on the acceleration data output from each accelerometer 2. The measurement device 1 is installed, for example, on an 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 mobile phone network or the Internet. The measuring device 1 transmits measurement data including the amplitude of displacement of the superstructure 7 when the railcar 6 passes over the superstructure 7 to the monitoring device 3. The monitoring device 3 stores the information in a storage device (not shown) and may perform processing such as monitoring the railcar 6 and determining abnormalities in the superstructure 7 based on the information.
[0021] In this embodiment, the bridge 5 is a railway bridge, such as a steel bridge, a girder bridge, or 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 accelerometer 2. In the example of FIG. 2, the observation point R is set at a position on the surface of the superstructure 7, which is vertically above the accelerometer 2, which is attached to the main girder G. That is, the accelerometer 2 is an observation device that observes the observation point R, detects accelerations that are responses to the actions 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 accelerations. For example, each of the multiple parts of the railway vehicle 6 is an axle or a wheel, but hereinafter, it will be assumed that they are axles. The accelerometer 2 may be placed in a position where it can detect the acceleration occurring at the observation point R due to the movement of the railway vehicle 6, but it is preferable that it be placed in a position close to the vertical line of the observation point R.
[0023] The number and installation positions of the accelerometers 2 are not limited to the examples shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and various modifications are possible.
[0024] Based on the acceleration data output from the accelerometer 2, the measurement device 1 acquires acceleration in a direction intersecting the plane of the superstructure 7 along which the railcar 6 moves. The plane of the superstructure 7 along which the railcar 6 moves is defined by the X direction, which is the direction in which the railcar 6 moves, i.e., the longitudinal direction of the superstructure 7, and the Y direction, which is the width direction of the superstructure 7, which is a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the railcar 6 moves. As the railcar 6 moves, the observation point R bends in directions perpendicular to the X and Y directions. Therefore, in order to accurately calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the bending, it is desirable for the measurement device 1 to acquire acceleration in the direction perpendicular to the X and Y directions, i.e., the Z direction which is the normal direction of the deck F.
[0025] 3 is a diagram illustrating acceleration detected by the accelerometer 2. The accelerometer 2 detects acceleration occurring in each of three mutually orthogonal axial directions.
[0026] In order to detect the acceleration of the deflection at observation point R due to the movement of the railway vehicle 6, the accelerometer 2 is installed so that one of the three detection axes, the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis, intersects the X-direction and the Y-direction. In Figures 1 and 2, the accelerometer 2 is installed so that the first axis intersects the X-direction and the Y-direction. Because 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 accelerometer 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 accelerometer 2 is installed on the superstructure 7, the installation location may be tilted. Even if the measurement device 1 is installed such that one of the three detection axes of the accelerometer 2 is not aligned with the normal direction of the floor board F, the error is small and can be ignored as long as it is oriented approximately in the normal direction. Furthermore, even if the measurement device 1 is installed such that one of the three detection axes of the accelerometer 2 is not aligned with the normal direction of the floor board F, the measurement device 1 can correct the detection error due to the tilt of the accelerometer 2 by using a three-axis resultant acceleration that is a combination of accelerations on the x-, y-, and z-axes. Furthermore, the accelerometer 2 may be a one-axis accelerometer that detects acceleration occurring in a direction approximately parallel to the vertical direction or acceleration in the normal direction of the floor board F.
[0028] In this embodiment, the measurement device 1 calculates the acceleration data output from the accelerometer 2 when the railway vehicle 6 passes through the superstructure 7, and calculates the acceleration data based on a pre-calculated conversion function f conv and the amplitude of the displacement of the superstructure 7 when the railway vehicle 6 passes through the superstructure 7 is estimated based on the transformation function f conv is a function that represents the relationship between the amplitude of displacement of the superstructure 7 and the amplitude of the velocity vibration component, and is calculated in advance based on the displacement data output from the displacement meter 9 that observes the observation point R. For example, the displacement meter 9 is installed before the accelerometer 2 is installed, and the measurement device 1 calculates the conversion function f based on the displacement data output from the displacement meter 9 when the railway vehicle 6A passes through the superstructure 7. conv Calculate the calculated transformation function f conv The coefficient values of the above are stored in a storage unit (not shown). The railway vehicle 6A may be the same railway vehicle as the railway vehicle 6, or may be a railway vehicle different from the railway vehicle 6. After the displacement meter 9 is removed, the accelerometer 2 is installed on the superstructure 7, and the measurement device 1 calculates the acceleration data output from the accelerometer 2 when the railway vehicle 6 passes through the superstructure 7 and the conversion function f stored in the storage unit. conv Based on this, the amplitude of the displacement of the superstructure 7 is estimated.
[0029] transformation function f convThe displacement meter 9 installed to calculate may be, for example, a ring-type displacement meter, a laser displacement meter, an image measuring device, or a load cell. Fig. 4 shows an example in which a ring-type displacement meter is used as the displacement meter 9. Fig. 5 shows an example in which an image measuring device is used as the displacement meter 9. In Figs. 4 and 5, the same components as in Fig. 1 are given the same reference numerals, and their description will be omitted. In the example of Fig. 4, 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 calculates a conversion function f based on the displacement data transmitted from the ring-type displacement meter 40. conv In the example of FIG. 5, the camera 50 captures an image of a target 51 attached to the side of the main girder G and transmits it to the measurement device 1. The measurement device 1 processes the image transmitted from the camera 50, calculates the displacement of the target 51 due to the deflection of the superstructure 7, and generates displacement data. Based on the generated displacement data, the measurement device 1 calculates a transformation function f conv 5, the measurement device 1 generates the displacement data as an image measuring device, but an image measuring device (not shown) different from the measurement device 1 may generate the displacement data by image processing.
[0030] The measurement method of this embodiment executed by the measurement system 10 will be described in detail below.
[0031] 1-2.

Therefore, in order to exclude this, the maximum value max{w u (t)} is set to 0.

Furthermore, the accelerometer 2 is installed on the superstructure 7 of the bridge 5, and the accelerometer 2 detects the acceleration when the railway vehicle 6 passes over the superstructure 7.

Fig. 30 is a cross-sectional view of the superstructure 7 taken along line AA in Fig. 29. As shown in Figs. 29 and 30, the superstructure 7 includes a bridge deck 7a composed of deck plates F, main girders G, cross beams (not shown), etc., and a bearing 7b. Furthermore, As shown, the substructure 8 includes a pier 8a and an abutment 8b. The superstructure 7 is a structure that spans either 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, or an RC bridge.
[0156] Each accelerometer 2 is installed in the longitudinal center of the superstructure 7, specifically in the longitudinal center of the main girder G. However, each accelerometer 2 only needs to be able to detect acceleration for calculating the displacement of the superstructure 7, and its installation location is not limited to the center of the superstructure 7. If each accelerometer 2 were installed on the deck F of the superstructure 7, there would be a risk of it being destroyed by the passing of a vehicle 6a, and there would also be a risk that the measurement accuracy would be affected by local deformation of the bridge deck 7a. Therefore, in the examples of Figures 29 and 30, each accelerometer 2 is installed on the main girder G of the superstructure 7.
[0157] As shown in FIG. 30 , the superstructure 7 has two lanes L1 and L2 and three main girders G along which a vehicle 6a, a moving body, can travel. In the example shown in FIGS. 29 and 30 , an accelerometer 2 is provided on each of the two main girders at both ends of the superstructure 7 in the longitudinal center. An observation point R1 is provided on the surface of lane L1, which is located vertically above one accelerometer 2, and an observation point R2 is provided on the surface of lane L2, which is located vertically above the other accelerometer 2. In other words, the two accelerometers 2 are observation devices that observe the observation points R1 and R2, respectively. The two accelerometers 2 that observe the observation points R1 and R2, respectively, may be provided at positions that allow them to detect accelerations occurring at the observation points R1 and R2 due to the movement of the vehicle 6a. However, it is preferable that the accelerometers 2 be provided in positions close to the observation points R1 and R2. The number and installation positions of the accelerometers 2 and the number of lanes are not limited to those shown in FIGS. 29 and 30 , and various modifications are possible.
[0158] The measurement device 1 compares acceleration data output from the accelerometer 2 when the vehicle 6a passes through the superstructure 7 with a pre-calculated conversion function f conv Based on the above, the amplitude of the displacement of the superstructure 7 when the vehicle 6a passes through the superstructure 7, specifically, the amplitude of the displacement of the lanes L1 and L2, is estimated. As described above, the transformation function f convis calculated in advance based on displacement data output from a displacement meter 9 observing observation point R. For example, the displacement meter 9 is installed before the accelerometer 2 is installed, and the measurement device 1 calculates a conversion function based on the displacement data output from the displacement meter 9 when vehicle 6b passes over the superstructure 7, and stores each coefficient of the calculated conversion function in a storage unit (not shown). Vehicle 6b may be the same vehicle as vehicle 6a, or may be a vehicle different from vehicle 6a. Then, after the displacement meter 9 is removed, the accelerometer 2 is installed on the superstructure 7, and the measurement device 1 estimates the amplitude of the displacement of the superstructure 7, specifically, the amplitude of the displacement of lanes L1 and L2, based on the acceleration data output from the accelerometer 2 when vehicle 6a passes over the superstructure 7 and the conversion function stored in the storage unit.
[0159] The measuring device 1 transmits information on the estimated displacement amplitude of the superstructure 7 to the monitoring device 3 via the communication network 4. The monitoring device 3 stores the information in a storage device (not shown) and may perform processing such as monitoring the vehicle 6a and determining abnormalities in the superstructure 7 based on the information. The method for estimating the displacement amplitude of the superstructure 7 by the measuring device 1 is the same as any of the above-mentioned embodiments, and therefore a detailed description thereof will be omitted. Note that the vehicle 6a is another example of the first moving body, and the vehicle 6b is another example of the second moving body.
[0160] In addition, in each of the above embodiments, each accelerometer 2 is provided on the main girder G of the superstructure 7, but it may also be provided on the surface or inside of the superstructure 7, on the underside of the deck F, on the pier 8a, etc. In addition, in each of the above embodiments, the superstructure of a bridge is given as an example of a structure, but this is not limiting, and the structure may be any structure that deforms due to the movement of a moving object.

[0164] One aspect of the measurement method is an acceleration data acquisition step of acquiring acceleration data output from an accelerometer that observes an observation point of the structure when a first moving body moves through the structure; a velocity vibration component calculation step of calculating a first velocity vibration component by integrating and filtering the acceleration based on the acceleration data; and a displacement amplitude estimation step of estimating the amplitude of displacement of the structure when the first moving body moves the structure, based on the first velocity vibration component and a transformation function calculated in advance based on displacement data output from a displacement meter that observes the observation point when a second moving body moves the structure.
[0165] In this measurement method, the displacement meter directly measures the displacement of the structure, so there is no drift in the displacement based on the displacement data output from the displacement meter. Therefore, the conversion function calculated in advance based on the displacement data output from the displacement meter when the second moving body moves the structure has relatively high conversion accuracy. Furthermore, in this measurement method, the data output from the accelerometer when the first moving body moves the structure is integrated and filtered to calculate the first velocity vibration component, so the drift contained in the first velocity vibration component is reduced by the filtering process. Furthermore, in this measurement method, the amplitude of the displacement of the structure when the first moving body moves the structure is estimated based on the first velocity vibration component and the conversion function, so there is no influence of large drift caused by integrating acceleration based on acceleration data twice. Therefore, this measurement method allows for accurate estimation of the amplitude of the displacement of the structure when the first moving body moves the structure.
[0166] Furthermore, with this measurement method, there is no large drift effect due to integrating acceleration twice, so drift correction processing is not required. Furthermore, since the method estimates the amplitude of displacement, which is simpler than the waveform of the displacement of the structure when the first moving body moves across the structure, the amount of calculation required for estimation is small, making it possible to speed up the estimation process and reduce costs.

[0173] In this measurement method, a conversion function is calculated that represents the relationship between the amplitude of the displacement measured with high accuracy by the displacement meter and the amplitude of the high-accuracy second velocity vibration component obtained by differentiating and filtering the displacement, thereby obtaining a highly accurate conversion function. Therefore, according to this measurement method, the amplitude of the displacement of the structure when the first moving body moves the structure can be accurately estimated based on the highly accurate conversion function.
[0174] In one aspect of the measurement method, the amplitude of the displacement based on the displacement data is a difference between a maximum value and a minimum value of the displacement, The amplitude of the second velocity vibration component may be the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the second velocity vibration component.
[0175] According to this measurement method, the amplitude of the displacement and the amplitude of the second velocity vibration component can be calculated with a small amount of calculation by extracting the maximum and minimum values of the displacement and calculating the difference between them, and extracting the maximum and minimum values of the second velocity vibration component and calculating the difference between them. Furthermore, according to this measurement method, by using the maximum amplitude with a high S / N ratio as both the amplitude of the displacement and the amplitude of the second velocity vibration component, a highly accurate conversion function can be calculated.
[0176] In one aspect of the measurement method, The displacement amplitude estimation step includes: The method may include the step of calculating the amplitude of the displacement by substituting the first velocity vibration component into the conversion function.

[0178] One aspect of the measurement method is a conversion function calculation step of calculating the conversion function, The conversion function calculation step includes: acquiring the displacement data; a step of filtering the displacement based on the displacement data to calculate a displacement vibration component; a step of calculating a first envelope by low-pass filtering the absolute value of the displacement vibration component; a step of subtracting the first envelope from a displacement obtained by low-pass filtering the displacement based on the displacement data, thereby calculating an amplitude of the displacement of the structure when the second moving body moves the structure; calculating a second velocity vibration component by differentiating and filtering the displacement based on the displacement data; calculating a second envelope by low-pass filtering the absolute value of the second velocity vibration component; The method may further include calculating, as the conversion function, a function that represents the relationship between the amplitude of the displacement of the structure and the second envelope.
[0179] In this measurement method, a first envelope that is the envelope of the displacement vibration component and a second envelope that is the envelope of the velocity vibration component are calculated based on the displacement measured by the displacement meter, and a conversion function is calculated based on the first envelope and the second envelope. Therefore, according to this measurement method, a more accurate conversion function can be calculated in which the effects of fluctuations and noise contained in the displacement measured by the displacement meter are reduced, and the amplitude of the displacement of the structure when the first moving body moves the structure can be accurately estimated.

[0187] In this measurement device, the displacement meter directly measures the displacement of the structure, so there is no drift in the displacement based on the displacement data output from the displacement meter. Therefore, the conversion function calculated in advance based on the displacement data output from the displacement meter when the second moving body moves the structure has relatively high conversion accuracy. Furthermore, in this measurement device, the data output from the accelerometer when the first moving body moves the structure is integrated and filtered to calculate the first velocity vibration component, so the drift contained in the first velocity vibration component is reduced by the filtering process. Furthermore, in this measurement device, the amplitude of the displacement of the structure when the first moving body moves the structure is estimated based on the first velocity vibration component and the conversion function, so there is no influence of large drift caused by integrating acceleration based on acceleration data twice. Therefore, this measurement device can accurately estimate the amplitude of the displacement of the structure when the first moving body moves the structure.
[0188] Furthermore, with this measuring device, there is no large drift effect due to integrating acceleration twice, so drift correction processing is not required. Furthermore, since the device estimates the simpler amplitude of displacement rather than the waveform of the displacement of the structure when the first moving body moves across the structure, the amount of calculation required for estimation is small, making it possible to speed up the estimation process and reduce costs.
[0189] In addition, this measuring device uses an accelerometer, which has greater freedom of installation and is easier to install than displacement meters or strain meters, to estimate the amplitude of displacement of the structure when the first moving body moves through the structure, thereby enabling cost reduction.
