1 vehicle information acquisition part
(1) Front-end dual-vector magnetic sensor section
The part comprises two three-dimensional magnetic sensors at a certain distance and necessary signal amplification, filtering and driving circuits for completing the conversion from magnetic field signals to electric signals. The basic principle of the vehicle information processing system based on the magneto-resistive sensor is to acquire the variation of the earth magnetic field before and after a vehicle passes by using the magneto-resistive sensor and further analyze the variation to obtain vehicle information. The physical mechanism of the magnetic field cutting device is that the ferromagnetic substance contained in a common vehicle cuts the existing magnetic field distribution of the earth during the driving process, and the magnetic field is changed. The magnetic field disturbance caused by vehicle passing is a low-frequency signal with the intensity of about nT to uT, and a magnetoresistive sensor is suitable for being adopted. There are three options for magnetoresistive sensors, AMR (anisotropic magneto resistance), GMR (Giant magneto resistance) and TMR (Tunnel magneto resistance). In contrast, AMR is more suitable for the method of the present invention because of its definite directionality, moderate sensitivity, and high cost/performance ratio. Because the original output electric signals of the magnetoresistors are weak, the signals need to be amplified. Since the magnetic field through which the vehicle passes is a low-frequency alternating magnetic field, a filtering process is also necessary to remove the interference information of the environmental magnetic field. Finally, the output signal of the part is processed by a driving circuit to be transmitted to a signal acquisition part of a lower stage.

When acting as a data transfer section, the result output section transfers the general contents of the vehicle information to the other end through the communication interface and protocol.

The vehicle information determining section includes a data preprocessing section, a vehicle presence or absence discriminating section, a vehicle direction discriminating section, an average vehicle speed measuring section, and a vehicle length measuring section. The following description will be made separately.
(1) Data preprocessing section
According to the installation of the two vector magnetoresistive sensors at the front end, the original data is 6 paths, and the magnetic field signals of the two sensors in fixed XYZ axes are respectively marked as S1.X, S1.Y, S1.Z, S2.X, S2.Y and S2.Z (S1 represents one of the magnetoresistive sensors, and S2 represents the other). The signal is first filtered to eliminate the bursty interference signal. Then, the filtered signals are further operated to remove the direct current component of the data volume, and 6 alternating variables delta S are obtained respectively1.X、ΔS1.Y、ΔS1.Z、ΔS2.X、ΔS2Y and Δ S2Z. Further processing to obtain 6 derivatives respectively of Δ S1.TMI、ΔS2.TMI、ΔS12TMI, grad.x, grad.y and grad.z, the mathematical definitions of which are shown in formulas (1) to (6).
ΔS12.TMI=ΔS1.TMI-ΔS2TMI formula (3)
From the physical concept, Δ S1TMI and Δ S2TMI reflects the total intensity of the alternating field in the magnetic field measured by the two sensors as a vector (Δ S)1.X,ΔS1.Y,ΔS1Z) and (Δ S)2.X,ΔS2.Y,ΔS2A two-norm of Z); delta S12TMI reflects the difference in the total intensity of the alternating field of the two sensors; the magnetic field of the two sensors in the XYZ coordinate direction is reflected by the amount of change with distance, typically referred to as gradient values.
In the actual judgment, a relatively large amount of the 6 derived quantities needs to be found out and used as a main basis for judgment. And comparing the TMI values on the XYZ axes, and finding the axis with the largest TMI value as a sensitive axis so as to calculate data of the sensitive axis.
(2) Vehicle presence/absence determination section
And adopting a multi-basis weighting judgment method for judging whether the vehicle exists or not. In the previous step, 6 quantities, respectively Δ S, were calculated1.TMI、ΔS2.TMI、ΔS12TMI, grad.x, grad.y and grad.z. The 6 quantities can be weighted by increasing the weighting factor lambda16And calculating according to the formula (7) to obtain pass _ score. When it is necessary to note, the weighting factor λ16Generally, the process of average weighting is not used, but a method of weighting according to specific gravity is used. The determination of a particular weighting value may be determined using a relative change in 6 quantities. If a certain quantity varies more, indicating that the quantity is more sensitive, the corresponding weighting value should be greater. In general, λ3The specific gravity of (A) will be relatively large, λ1And λ2Next, the method is described. When the vehicle is judged to be in existence, the difference value of the total intensity of the alternating fields of the sensors is used as a main basis for the vehicle to pass, the total intensity of the alternating fields in the magnetic field measured by the two sensors is used as a secondary basis, and the gradient value in each direction is used as a smaller basis. The vehicle is judged according to the weighting of the six quantities, the passing of the vehicle can be judged only by meeting the main basis and one of the secondary bases, and otherwise, the passing of the vehicle is not judged
p a s s _ s c o r e = λ 1 * ΔS 1 . T M I + λ 2 * ΔS 2 . T M I + λ 3 * ΔS 12 . T M I + λ 4 * G r a d . X + λ 5 * G r a d . Y + λ 6 * G r a d . Z - - - ( 7 )
The value of pass score is compared to a preset threshold. If the threshold value is larger than the threshold value, the vehicle passes through, otherwise, the vehicle does not pass through. In one embodiment of the invention, a fixed threshold algorithm is adopted, and the specific threshold is obtained through multiple actual measurements of a scene through which the automobile passes.
(3) Vehicle direction discriminating section
In the judgment of the vehicle direction, Grad.X, Grad.Y and Grad.Z are used as main basis for judgment. And obtaining the driving direction of the vehicle according to the changing slopes of the three quantities and integrating the three slopes. If the gradient of Grad.X is positive, the certain driving direction is the positive direction of the X axis; otherwise, it is negative X-axis. And the same method is used for judging the driving directions of the Y axis and the Z axis. Finally, comprehensively judging the driving directions of the three coordinate axes
(4) Average vehicle speed measuring section
The signals S1.X, S1.Y, S1.Z, S2.X, S2.Y and S2.Z after the output of the sensor is filtered are converted by a larger amount, namely the main basis of judgment, binarization processing is carried out to remove some invalid data points in the data,
and selecting a judging threshold St as a main basis for judging, and converting the waveform into a normalized square wave (1,0), wherein the value of the Nth sampling point on the sensitive axis in the normalized square wave is selected by the following method:
S = 1 , Sn < St 0 , Sn > St
in the formula: sn is the value at the sampling point N; st is the set waveform threshold. When selecting, the two sensors should consider the large change amount, and should keep the data direction of the judgment basis as the same direction.
Using the data of a certain sensor after binarization, calculating the difference between the number of points of adjacent 01 changes, and combining the sampling rate to calculate the time difference T of the vehicle passing through the two sensors, as shown in formula 7. Where N2 and N1 are the number of points at which the sensors 2 and 1 exhibit a change in level 01, respectively, and S is the sampling rate.
T=(N2-N1)/S (7
The average speed of the vehicle is calculated according to equation 8, where L is the distance of the dual sensors in the sensitive direction, which is a known quantity, and T is calculated in equation 7. Calculating the time between the vehicle passing the two sensors according to:
V=L/T (8)
(5) vehicle length measuring part
The length of the characteristic curve waveform reflects the time of the vehicle passing through the sensor, and the length of the characteristic curve is scaled in proportion to the vehicle speed or the length of the vehicle. The time difference of the same vehicle passing through 2 sensors is recorded by using the sensors, the waveform is normalized to eliminate the influence of the vehicle speed on a time axis, and the normalized waveform length is in direct proportion to the length of the whole vehicle. If T1 and T2 are the times when the first sensor detects the presence and the departure of the vehicle, respectively, and T3 and T4 are the times when the second sensor detects the presence and the departure of the vehicle, respectively, the vehicle passes through the average time of one sensor, which is shown in formula (9), the average vehicle speed is obtained, and the length of the vehicle can be obtained from the time and the average vehicle speed, which is shown in formula (10).
T=((T2-T1)+(T4-T3))/2 (9)

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the system of the present invention. The vehicle information acquisition and processing system is composed of a front-end dual-vector magnetic sensor part, a signal acquisition part, a processor part and a result output acquisition part. The front end double-vector magnetic sensor part consists of two three-dimensional magnetic sensors at a certain distance and necessary signal amplification, filtering and driving circuits and is used for completing the conversion from a magnetic field signal to an electric signal.
The signal acquisition part completes the analog-digital conversion function and is used for converting the analog signal output by the front-end sensor into a digital signal required by the processor part. The specific implementation method can utilize a data acquisition card or various ADC (Analog-Digital converter) circuits. The performance of the converter is required to meet the requirements of low noise and conversion precision, and the electrical noise caused by the converter is reduced.
The processor section is a carrier that operates for the vehicle information determination section, and is used to implement the vehicle information determination process. A computer or other embedded platform may generally be chosen. In consideration of real-time requirements, a processing execution hardware platform such as a DSP (digital signal processor) with a strong operation function and data throughput is generally selected.
The result output section is an output instruction section or a data transmission section of the vehicle information. The output part is to cover the general content of the vehicle information, such as whether the vehicle exists, the driving direction of the vehicle, the speed of the vehicle, the length of the vehicle, etc. For example, the indicating part is a device with a display function and an indicating function for outputting. If it is a data transfer part, the general contents of the vehicle information should be transferred to the other end through some kind of communication interface and protocol. In practice, the other end is a traffic guidance center or a data summarization center.
Fig. 2 is a schematic view of the installation of the sensor array of the present invention. The coordinate system adopts a rectangular coordinate system, the origin is O, and the coordinate axis is XYZ. It is assumed here that the direction of travel of the cart coincides with the Y-axis forward direction. The sensors S1 and S2 are arbitrarily placed in the coordinate system, and their signal outputs are S1X, S1Y, S1Z, S2X, S2Y, and S2Z. The distance differences in the XYZ axis directions of the two sensors are dX, dY, and dZ, respectively. These three distances are determined at the sensor layout, known quantities for the signal processing process, and are used to calculate the gradient values.
FIG. 3 is a block flow diagram of the processing operations of the present invention. Viewed from the flow chart, the processing operations comprise:
(1) smoothing filtering
The signal is first filtered to eliminate the bursty interference signal. Considering real-time performance and processor capability, the present processing method employs mean-smooth filtering to process the raw sensor signal, as shown in fig. 3. The method is suitable for processing dynamic signals, not only can well weaken the burr noise, but also is simple in calculation. The smoothed waveform diagram shows that after the detection signal of the vehicle passing through the sensor is smoothed, the burr phenomenon is effectively weakened, and the characteristic waveform of the vehicle is retained. When the average value smoothing filter is used for filtering the burr noise, the adjacent lane vehicles can be filtered to a certain degree to generate a waveform with smaller amplitude and shorter wave width.
(2) Removing direct current
Further operating the filtered signals, removing the direct current component of the data volume to respectively obtain 6 alternating variables delta S1.X、ΔS1.Y、ΔS1.Z、ΔS2.X、ΔS2Y and Δ S2.Z。
(3) Calculate 6 derived quantities
Further processing to obtain 6 derivatives respectively of Δ S1.TMI、ΔS2.TMI、ΔS12TMI, grad.x, grad.y and grad.z, the mathematical definitions of which are shown in formulas (1) to (6).
ΔS12.TMI=ΔS1.TMI-ΔS2TMI formula (3)
(4) Vehicle presence/absence determination
And adopting a multi-basis weighting judgment method for judging whether the vehicle exists or not. In the previous step, 6 quantities, respectively Δ S, were calculated1.TMI、ΔS2.TMI、ΔS12TMI, grad.x, grad.y and grad.z. The 6 quantities can be weighted by increasing the weighting factor lambda16And calculating according to the formula (7) to obtain pass _ score. When it is necessary to note, the weighting factor λ16Generally, the process of average weighting is not used, but a method of weighting according to specific gravity is used. The determination of a particular weighting value may be determined using a relative change in 6 quantities. If a certain quantity varies more, indicating that the quantity is more sensitive, the corresponding weighting value should be greater. In general, λ3The specific gravity of (A) will be relatively large, λ1And λ2Next, the method is described. When the vehicle is judged to be in existence, the difference value of the total intensity of the alternating fields of the sensors is used as a main basis for the vehicle to pass, the total intensity of the alternating fields in the magnetic field measured by the two sensors is used as a secondary basis, and the gradient value in each direction is used as a smaller basis. The vehicle is judged according to the weighting of the six quantities, the passing of the vehicle can be judged only by meeting the main basis and one of the secondary bases, and otherwise, the passing of the vehicle is not judged
p a s s _ s c o r e = &lambda; 1 * &Delta;S 1 . T M I + &lambda; 2 * &Delta;S 2 . T M I + &lambda; 3 * &Delta;S 12 . T M I + &lambda; 4 * G r a d . X + &lambda; 5 * G r a d . Y + &lambda; 6 * G r a d . Z - - - ( 7 )
The value of pass score is compared to a preset threshold. If the threshold value is larger than the threshold value, the vehicle passes through, otherwise, the vehicle does not pass through. In the aspect of processing operation, a fixed threshold algorithm is adopted, and a specific threshold is obtained through multiple times of actual measurement of a scene through which an automobile passes.
(5) Judging the direction of travel
In the method for judging the vehicle direction, in one embodiment of the invention, the data after filtering is used for respectively comparing the difference value of each coordinate axis of two sensors XYZ, and then the driving direction of the vehicle is judged by using the difference value and a preset coefficient. Since the starting point of each coordinate axis of the sensor response is different, a preset coefficient is required to balance the difference of the starting points with the environmental influence factors.
(5) Binary vehicle passing information
The length and the internal structure of different vehicle types are different, the amount and the position of the contained ferromagnetic substances are different greatly, and therefore the geomagnetic disturbance waveform caused when the vehicle passes through the sensor is different greatly. However, vehicles of the same type are similar in structure, and key attributes of waveforms are similar, so that characteristic quantities of vehicle types can be reflected on disturbance waveforms. Considering that factors such as vehicle speed and vehicle chassis distance detection system height also have great influence on the waveform, the data after filtering needs to be subjected to binarization processing. And invalid data points in the data are removed, so that the influence of the environment and the vehicle on the collected data is reduced as much as possible.
The sensitive axis disturbance waveform data can be utilized for processing, and the waveform is converted into a normalized square wave (1,0) by taking the sensitive axis disturbance waveform data as a standard. The selection method of the value at the Nth sampling point on the sensitive axis in the normalized square wave comprises the following steps:
S = 1 , Sn < St 0 , Sn > St
in the formula: sn is the value at the sampling point N; st is the set waveform threshold. The peaks/troughs in the normalized square wave correspond to the sampling points where the sensitive axis magnetic signal is severely distorted, i.e. the moment when the vehicle drive shaft or engine passes over the sensor, since the engine is often mounted close to the drive shaft, overlapping the drive shaft in the normalized square wave. Therefore, the number N of wave crests/wave troughs can completely represent the number of transmission shafts of the vehicle.
(6) Calculating average vehicle speed
And respectively calculating the point number of the low level of the binarized data before the high level changes, calculating the time of the vehicle passing between the two sensors by using the difference of the two point numbers and the sampling rate, and obtaining the average speed of the vehicle by using the relative distance between the sensors. See formulas (1.1) and (1.2).
T=(N2-N1)/100 (1.1)
V=L/T (2.2)
(7) The length of the waveform of the vehicle length characteristic curve is calculated to reflect the time that the vehicle passes through the sensor, and the length of the waveform expands and contracts in proportion to the speed of the vehicle or the length of the vehicle. The time difference of the same vehicle passing through 2 sensors is recorded by using the sensors, the waveform is normalized to eliminate the influence of the vehicle speed on a time axis, and the normalized waveform length is in direct proportion to the length of the whole vehicle. When T1 and T2 are the times when the first sensor detects the presence and the departure of the vehicle, respectively, and T3 and T4 are the times when the second sensor detects the presence and the departure of the vehicle, respectively, the average time of the vehicle passing through one sensor is shown in formula (1.3), the average vehicle speed is obtained, and the length of the vehicle can be obtained from the time T and the average vehicle speed, shown in formula (1.4).
T=((T2-T1)+(T4-T3))/2 (1.3)
length=V*T (1.4)
Advantages and benefits of the invention include
The invention has the following advantages:
(1) the vehicle information passing through the sensor is recorded and stored in real time, the stability is high, the flexibility of the device is strong, the device can be built at any time, and the device is not influenced by places.
