Abstract

An algorithm for identifying track irregularities along the railway is presented. A baseline frequency-domain transfer function based on the equivalent SlSO(Single Input Single Output) model is defined at the intact condition between the measured track geometry of the ground displacement and the acceleration measured at a location in a train. The pre-defined transfer function at the intact condition is used inversely to predict track geometry in time with the currently measured acceleration at the same location in a train. The predicted track geometry is compared in time with that of the baseline values at the intact condition. The difference between them is calculated as an error in time and used to identify the track irregularities. An irregularity index is proposed as the ratio between the moving variance of the error at the current inspection and that at the intact condition. A 3D numerical simulation study has been carried out with a train model to verify the validity of the presented algorithm. In the analysis for the simulation, the track geometry has been considered as the displacement boundary condition varying in time.

본 연구에서는 대차에서 계측한 가속도 데이터를 사용하여 궤도틀림을 식별하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 등가 SISO 모델에 의한 정상궤도틀림 상태에서의 대차진동과 궤도틀림과의 주파수영역 전달함수를 정의하고, 이를 역으로 이용하여 대차에서 계측한 가속도 데이터로 궤도틀림을 예측하였다. 예측된 값과 기준값과의 잔차의 분산 비로정의되는 틀림지수를 사용하여 궤도틀림의 이상을 분석하였다. 궤도틀림을 시간에 따라 변하는 변위 경계조건으로 고려하여 3차원 수치예제를 수행하였으며, 제안된 알고리즘의 타당성을 검증하였다.
