Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and intended to be illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.
A train positioning control system and method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a train positioning control system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, the train positioning control system includes a plurality of first ultra-wideband communication modules 110, a plurality of second ultra-wideband communication modules 120, and a calculation module 130.
A plurality of first ultra-wideband communication modules 110 are disposed on the station. The number of the first ultra-wideband communication modules 110 can be set according to actual requirements, and if the requirement on the positioning accuracy is high, the number of the first ultra-wideband communication modules 110 is correspondingly increased; if low cost is required, the number of the first ultra-wideband communication modules 110 can be reduced on the basis of ensuring the positioning accuracy.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the number of first ultra-wideband communication modules 110 is set to three. The three first ultra-wideband communication modules are arranged on the platform beside the track, and the positions of the three first ultra-wideband communication modules are in a right-angled triangle shape. As shown in fig. 2, a connection line between the first ultra-wideband communication module a and the first ultra-wideband communication module B is perpendicular to the track of the platform; the connecting line between the first ultra-wideband communication module B and the first ultra-wideband communication module C is parallel to the track of the platform. And the distance between them should not be less than 3 meters. The minimum scale of the clock is 10 nanoseconds, the speed of signal transmission is 299792458 meters/second, and the distance obtained by multiplying the speed by the time is approximately equal to 3 meters. If the distance is less than 3 meters, the precision of the clock cannot be achieved, and a ranging blind area can be generated. Therefore, to avoid blind areas, the distance between the first ultra-wideband communication modules should be greater than 3 meters.
The second ultra-wideband communication module 120 is disposed on the train, and the second ultra-wideband communication module 120 can perform wireless communication with the plurality of first ultra-wideband communication modules 110, respectively.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the second ultra-wideband communication module 120 may be disposed at a head portion of the train.
A calculating module 130, configured to calculate distances between the second ultra-wideband communication module 120 and the plurality of first ultra-wideband communication modules 110 according to the signal transmission time differences between the second ultra-wideband communication module 120 and the plurality of first ultra-wideband communication modules 110, and calculate position coordinates of the train according to the distances between the second ultra-wideband communication module 120 and the plurality of first ultra-wideband communication modules 110. The calculation module 130 may be disposed on the train as shown in fig. 1, or may be disposed on the platform (ground).
Specifically, a first time when the second ultra-wideband communication module 120 sends a ranging request may be received, and then a second time when the second ultra-wideband communication module 120 receives a plurality of first ultra-wideband communication modules 110 responding to the ranging request may be received, and a signal transmission time difference may be calculated according to the first time and the second time. Since the sent ranging request is a pulse signal, the speed can be considered as the speed of light. Therefore, the speed of light is known, and the time is the signal transmission time difference, so the distances between the second ultra-wideband communication module 120 and the plurality of first ultra-wideband communication modules 110 are calculated respectively.
Next, the position coordinates of the plurality of first ultra-wideband communication modules 110 are preset and thus known. The location coordinates of the train can be calculated in combination with the distances between the second ultra-wideband communication module 120 and the plurality of first ultra-wideband communication modules 110.
Specifically, the distance between the second ultra-wideband communication module 120 and the plurality Of first ultra-wideband communication modules 110 is measured by TW-TOF (Two Way-Time Of Light). The TW-TOF principle is as follows: as shown in fig. 3, each UWB (Ultra wide band) communication module generates a separate timestamp when it is started. The UWB communication module a transmits a request pulse signal at Ta1 on the local time stamp, and the UWB communication module B receives the pulse signal at Tb1 on the local time stamp. After the UWB communication module B has processed the data, a response signal is transmitted at time Tb2 on the local time stamp, and the UWB communication module a receives the response signal at time Ta2 on the local time stamp. And calculating the distance between the UWB communication module A and the UWB communication module B according to the signal transmission time difference.
For example, as shown in fig. 4, suppose that three first ultra-wideband communication modules 110, A, B, C respectively, are disposed on a platform, and a second ultra-wideband communication module 121 disposed on a train is P. Then, distances L1, L2, L3 between P and A, B, C, respectively, can be measured using the TW-TOF principle. In this example, the second ultra-wideband communication module 121 actively sends out a request periodically, and the first ultra-wideband communication module 110 at the station responds to the request. The coordinates of a disposed on the docking station are known as (X1, Y1, Z1), the coordinates of B are known as (X2, Y2, Z2), and the coordinates of C are known as (X3, Y3, Z3), and the coordinates of P (X, Y, Z) can be calculated by using equations 1-3 in conjunction with the measured distances L1, L2, and L3.
Equation 1: l12=(X-X1)2+(Y-Y1)2+(Z-Z1)2
Equation 2: l22=(X-X2)2+(Y-Y2)2+(Z-Z2)2
Equation 3: l32=(X-X3)2+(Y-Y3)2+(Z-Z3)2
The three-dimensional coordinate system of this embodiment uses the central line of the track as the y-axis, the center of the earth upward as the z-axis, the direction perpendicular to the yz-plane as the x-axis, and the station entry starting point as the origin O of the coordinate system.
In order to simplify the calculation, a coordinate system may be further established as shown in fig. 5, that is, the first ultra-wideband communication module B is used as an origin of the coordinate system, a connection line between the first ultra-wideband communication module B and the first ultra-wideband communication module C is a y-axis, a connection line between the first ultra-wideband communication module B and the first ultra-wideband communication module a is an x-axis, and a center of the earth is a z-axis. Thus, the coordinates of a may be (X1, 0, 0), the coordinates of B may be (0, 0, 0), and the coordinates of C may be (0, Y3, 0), thereby reducing the amount of calculation.
Different from the transponder equipment laid on each track line in the prior art, the embodiment only arranges the first ultra-wideband communication module on the platform, so that the train running on a plurality of track lines can be positioned, and the cost is saved. The ultra-wideband communication module and the transponder are different in positioning mode, and the transponder reports the preset position information to complete train positioning; the ultra-wideband communication module measures distance through TW-TOF and calculates the position coordinates of the train. Compared with the situation that the train can report the position only through the transponder device, the ultra-wideband communication module can realize real-time positioning, provide real-time position information for the train and realize more accurate control.
In addition, the calculating module 130 may be further configured to receive a distance between the first ultra-wideband communication modules 110, which is periodically detected by the first ultra-wideband communication module 110, and then determine whether the distance between the first ultra-wideband communication modules 110 changes, where the change is greater than a preset error. And if the variable quantity is larger than the preset error, generating alarm information. In order to prevent the first ultra-wideband communication module 110 of the station from being moved for an uncertain reason, the coordinate position is changed, and the positioning result is affected. The first ultra-wideband communication modules 110 may periodically perform ranging to detect a distance therebetween. Once the change in distance between each other is found to exceed the allowable error value, it may be determined that there is a change in the position of the first ultra-wideband communication module 110, and alarm information may be generated. Then, sending alarm information to a train control center to remind maintenance personnel of correcting the position coordinates; meanwhile, the running train can be informed that the current ranging result is not credible, so that the running safety of the train is ensured.
The method in which the regularly detected first ultra-wideband communication modules 110 are at a distance from each other is also measured using the TW-TOF. That is, each of the first ultra-wideband communication modules 110 is embedded with a micro-control chip, and the micro-control chip can control the first ultra-wideband communication modules 110 to periodically transmit pulse signals so as to detect and obtain the distance between them.
Specifically, a third time when the first ultra-wideband communication module 110 issues a mutual ranging request may be received, and then a fourth time when the first ultra-wideband communication module 110 receives other first ultra-wideband communication modules 110 responding to the mutual ranging request may be received. And calculating the mutual signal transmission time difference according to the third time and the fourth time, and finally calculating the distance between the first ultra-wideband communication modules according to the mutual signal transmission time difference.
According to the train positioning control system provided by the embodiment of the invention, the plurality of first ultra-wideband communication modules arranged on the platform are communicated with the second ultra-wideband communication module arranged in the positioning equipment on the train, the distance between the second ultra-wideband communication module and the plurality of first ultra-wideband communication modules is obtained through measurement, and the position coordinate of the train is calculated according to the distance, so that the train can be accurately positioned, the cost is low, and the implementation is simple.
In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6, the system may further include a first transceiver module 140 and an on-board controller 150.
The first transceiver module 140 and the onboard controller 150 are disposed on the train, and connect the first transceiver module 140 and the onboard controller 150.
In this embodiment, the computing module 130 is disposed on the train and is connected to the second ultra-wideband communication module 120 and the first transceiver module 140, respectively. The calculation module 130 may transmit the position coordinates of the train to the first transceiver module 140. The first transceiver module 140 then forwards the position coordinates of the train to the on-board controller 150. Finally, the onboard controller 150 can control the train to enter and stop according to the position coordinates of the train.
In yet another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 7, the system may further include a second transceiver module 160.
Wherein the second transceiver module 160 is installed on the ground (platform).
In this embodiment, the calculation module 130 is disposed on the ground (platform) and is connected to the first ultra-wideband communication module 110 and the second transceiver module 160, respectively. The calculation module 130 may send the position coordinates of the train to the second transceiver module 160, and the second transceiver module 160 forwards the position coordinates of the train to the on-board controller 150. Finally, the onboard controller 150 can control the train to enter and stop according to the position coordinates of the train.
It should be noted that the two embodiments are different only in that the first one is to arrange the computing module 130 on the train, and the second one is to arrange the computing module 130 on the ground (platform). When the calculation module 130 is disposed on the ground, the first ultra-wideband communication module 110 is controlled by the calculation module 130 in a unified manner, and sends out ranging requests one by one in a time division multiplexing manner. The second ultra-wideband communication module 120 on the train may respond to the ranging request when the train enters within the valid signal range of the first ultra-wideband communication module 110. The specific distance measurement principle and the positioning principle are completely the same as those of the previous embodiment, and the description of this embodiment is omitted. In the embodiment, the train is accurately positioned by the plurality of first ultra-wideband communication modules 110 arranged at the platform, and then the train is accurately controlled to enter the station and stop by the vehicle-mounted controller 150, so that the stability and safety of train operation are ensured.
