SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0006]
The method described in Patent Document 1 separates and evaluates abnormal phenomena into vehicle factors and track factors from data measured by a sensor (accelerometer) mounted on the vehicle. However, anomalous phenomena are affected not only by vehicles and tracks, but also by the infrastructure around the tracks. To improve the accuracy of anomaly analysis, it is necessary to consider and evaluate infrastructure factors.
[0007]
In addition, the method described in Patent Document 1 uses a database that organizes past measurement data to consider and evaluate the effects of travel sections. However, orbital factors (infrastructure factors) change daily, so it takes time to investigate all the latest orbital conditions (infrastructure conditions) and update the database.
[0008]
Furthermore, it is conceivable to install sensors that directly monitor the track conditions (infrastructure conditions) and analyze abnormal phenomena in consideration of the data measured by the sensors. Installing the sensor poses a problem of high cost.
[0009]
Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a technology for estimating infrastructure factors other than vehicle factors from data measured by sensors mounted on vehicles, and analyzing and diagnosing abnormal factors.
Means to solve problems
[0010]
In order to solve the above problems, one of the typical railway vehicle condition monitoring and analysis devices of the present invention is a data detection device for measuring vehicle data and evaluation data with sensors mounted on the vehicle, and inputting and outputting data. a vehicle factor estimating unit that is connectable to an input device and an output device that performs a vehicle factor estimation and estimates vehicle factor evaluation data from the vehicle data and the evaluation data; An infrastructure factor extraction unit for extracting factor evaluation data, an infrastructure factor estimation unit for estimating individual infrastructure factor evaluation data from the infrastructure factor evaluation data, and storing the individual infrastructure factor evaluation data in an infrastructure factor database. an infrastructure factor DB construction unit that monitors the evaluation data of the individual infrastructure factors stored in the infrastructure factor database and analyzes the infrastructure factors; and the analysis information of the infrastructure factors: and a vehicle analysis unit that analyzes the vehicle state.
Effect of the invention
[0011]
According to the present invention, it is possible to monitor and analyze the state of railroad vehicles in consideration of infrastructure factors by monitoring and analyzing the state of infrastructure with sensors mounted on railroad vehicles without placing sensors directly on the infrastructure factors. .
[0012]
Problems, configurations, and effects other than those described above will be clarified by the following description of the embodiments.

MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0014]
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the railway vehicle condition monitoring and analysis device of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
Example 1
[0015]
The configuration of the railway vehicle condition monitoring and analysis device will be described with reference to FIG.
[0016]
In FIG. 1, a railway vehicle 1 is composed of a vehicle body 2 and a bogie 3, and runs on a track (rail) 10. The vehicle body 2 is equipped with a data detection device 20 comprising a vehicle data detection section 21 for measuring vehicle conditions and an evaluation data detection section 22 for measuring evaluation data. The condition monitor/analyzer 30 monitors and analyzes the vehicle condition based on the data acquired by the data detector 20 in consideration of infrastructure factors. Input device 40 and output device 50 input data to and output data from condition monitoring analysis device 30 .
[0017]
The data measured by the vehicle data detection unit 21 includes, for example, vehicle position, speed, acceleration, weight, time, operation status of vehicle parts and on-board equipment, etc. In this embodiment, these data are stored in N units. It is represented by variables {X i: i=1, 2, . . . , N}. The data measured by the evaluation data detection unit 22 are, for example, data representing the comfort and safety of the vehicle and passengers, such as noise and vibration. j: j=1, 2, . . . , M 1}.
[0018]
Although the data detection device 20 in FIG. 1 shows an example of a device for one vehicle, it may be a device for measuring vehicle data and evaluation data for a set of vehicles (a plurality of vehicles).
[0019]
The vehicle factor estimation unit 100 of the condition monitoring analysis device 30 estimates vehicle factor evaluation data from the vehicle data and evaluation data measured by the data detection device 20 .
[0020]
In this embodiment, the vehicle factor evaluation data is defined by M 1 variables {Y Cj: j=1, 2, . } can be expressed by the function (FC) of the following equation.
Y Cj = F C (X i, Y j)
[0021]
The function (F C) can be obtained, for example, by multivariate analysis of vehicle data {X i} and evaluation data {Y j}, learning by deep learning, or the like.
[0022]
The infrastructure factor extracting unit 200 of the condition monitoring and analyzing device 30 extracts the following from the data (X i, Y j) measured by the data detecting device 20 and the vehicle factor evaluation data {Y Cj} generated by the vehicle factor estimating unit 100: , to extract evaluation data for infrastructure factors.
[0023]
In this embodiment, the infrastructure factor evaluation data is defined by M 1 variables {Y Ij: j=1, 2, . It can be expressed by a function (F I) for the difference of {Y Cj}.
Y Ij (p, t) = FI (Y j - Y Cj)
Here, p and t are elements of the vehicle data {X i} and represent the position and time of the infrastructure factor. The position (p) is data indicating the location of the infrastructure factor along the track, such as GPS position data and distance traveled from the reference position (station).
[0024]
The infrastructure factor estimation unit 300 of the condition monitoring analysis device 30 acquires evaluation data of individual infrastructure factors from the infrastructure factor evaluation data extracted by the infrastructure factor extraction unit 200 .
[0025]
In this embodiment, the individual infrastructure factor evaluation data is defined by L variables {Y Ijk: k=1, 2, . )), it can be expressed by the following equation.
YIjk (p, t) = YIj (p, t)
              p∈[p kMin, p kMax]
               t∈[t kMin, t kMax]
where [p kMin, p kMax] and [t kMin, t kMax] are the location and time ranges over which the individual infrastructure factors are present.
[0026]
The range in which individual infrastructure factors exist is the section where the infrastructure factor evaluation data (Y Ij(p, t)) is greater than or equal to the threshold (Y IjLim). Therefore, for the infrastructure factor evaluation data (Y Ij (p, t)), the range that is less than the threshold (Y IjLim) is converted to zero, and the infrastructure factor evaluation data obtained after the conversion process is divided into zero sections. By doing so, evaluation data for individual infrastructure factors can be obtained.
[0027]
In addition, from the extracted individual infrastructure factors, representative position (pk = (pkMin + pkMax)/2), representative time (tk = (tkMin + tkMax)/2), size (Δpk = pkMax −p kMin), the maximum value (Y IjkMax) of the evaluation data, and the average value (Y IjkAve) are also calculated. In this embodiment, these feature quantities are also used as evaluation data for individual infrastructure factors with M 2 variables {Y Ijk: j=M 1+1, M 1+2, . . . , M 1+M 2 (=M)} Define.
[0028]
The infrastructure factor DB construction unit 400 of the condition monitoring and analysis device 30 stores the individual infrastructure factors acquired by the infrastructure factor estimation unit 300 in the infrastructure factor database.
[0029]
When storing in the infrastructure factor database, it is compared with already stored infrastructure factors to determine if the same infrastructure factor exists. The same infrastructure factor determination method compares evaluation data such as the position (p k), velocity (v k), size (Δp k), etc. of the infrastructure factor.
[0030]
As a result of the comparison determination, if the same infrastructure factor exists in the infrastructure factor database, the acquired individual Add the infrastructure factor evaluation data, and if the same infrastructure factor does not exist, register the acquired individual infrastructure factor as a new infrastructure factor.
[0031]
Further, when the infrastructure factor stored in the infrastructure factor database is not detected by the infrastructure factor estimating unit 300, it is determined that the infrastructure factor has been improved by maintenance or removal, and the removed infrastructure factor in the infrastructure factor database is determined. set the value of the time range [t kMin, t kMax] to zero for the evaluation data (Y Ijk(p, t)) of .
[0032]
The infrastructure factor analysis unit 500 of the state monitoring and analysis device 30 monitors evaluation data of individual infrastructure factors stored in the infrastructure factor database and analyzes the infrastructure factors.
[0033]
When a new infrastructure factor is detected by monitoring infrastructure factors, the information (location, scale, etc.) related to the infrastructure factor is presented to the output device 50 . This will allow us to know which infrastructure factors will have an impact in the future. In addition, by specifying the range of new infrastructure factors, infrastructure factors can be efficiently investigated. When information (presence/absence, type, name, actual measurement data, etc.) of on-site infrastructure factors can be collected from the survey results, the survey results are added to the infrastructure factor database from the input device 40 . Investigation of infrastructure factors is conducted by a system storing external infrastructure information, an investigator, etc., and the investigation information is input/output online and offline.
[0034]
 Individual infrastructure factor evaluation data (Y Ijk(p, t)) stored in the infrastructure factor database changes over time If it increases with it, it can be judged that the infrastructure factor is deteriorating. Further, when the evaluation data exceeds the deterioration threshold (Y IjkLim), it can be determined that maintenance is required. Further, the individual infrastructure factor evaluation data (Y Ijk (p, t + Δt)) at the future time (t + Δt) or the future individual infrastructure factor evaluation data (Y Ijk (p, t + Δt)) reaches the deterioration threshold. By calculating the time (Δt), the maintenance timing can be predicted. The deterioration state of the infrastructure factor and maintenance information are presented on the output device 50, and the information on the response result can be added from the input device 40 to the infrastructure factor database. Investigation and maintenance of the deteriorated state of infrastructure factors are performed by an external maintenance system or an infrastructure administrator, and information on the implementation results is input and output online and offline.
[0035]
When the individual infrastructure factor evaluation data (Y Ijk(p, t)) stored in the infrastructure factor database decreases or becomes zero as time changes, it can be determined that the infrastructure factor has been improved or removed through maintenance. Infrastructure factor improvement and removal information is presented on the output device 50 and the findings can be added to the infrastructure factor database from the input device 40 . Surveys on the improvement and removal of infrastructure factors are conducted by a system that stores external infrastructure information, surveyors, etc., and the survey information is input and output online and offline.
[0036]
The vehicle analysis unit 600 of the condition monitoring analysis device 30 considers the past information stored in the infrastructure factor database for the analysis data (X Ai, Y Aj) measured by the data detection device 20, Evaluate rail vehicles.
[0037]
When analyzing a railway vehicle, evaluation data (Y AIj) for analysis of infrastructure factors for analysis data (X Ai, YAj) measured by the data detection device 20 is used as individual infrastructure factors stored in the infrastructure factor database. is created from the evaluation data (Y Ijk) of That is, the position (p A) and time (t A) corresponding to the analysis data (X Ai, Y Aj) are extracted, and the individual infrastructure factor evaluation data (Y Ijk) present at the extracted position (p A) is obtained from the infrastructure factor database. Evaluation data (Y Ijk(p A, t A)) for time (t A) is calculated from the obtained evaluation data for individual infrastructure factors. By adding (ΣY Ijk(p A, t A)) evaluation data of individual infrastructure factors acquired at analysis positions and times, infrastructure factor analysis evaluation data (Y AIj) for the analysis data can be calculated. The calculated infrastructure factor analysis evaluation data (Y AIj) is stored in the infrastructure factor database and displayed on the output device 50 .
[0038]
From the analysis data (Y Aj) stored in the infrastructure factor database and the infrastructure factor analysis evaluation data (Y AIj), vehicle factor analysis evaluation data (Y Aj - Y AIj) is calculated. By using the evaluation data for vehicle factor analysis, the vehicle state can be analyzed by taking into consideration the influence of only the vehicle factor. The analysis results are presented to the output device 50, and the evaluation results for the analysis can be added/corrected from the input device 40 to the infrastructure factor database.
[0039]
When analyzing a railway vehicle, the degree of influence of the infrastructure factor on the analysis data (|Y AIj|/|Y Aj|) is calculated. The calculated degree of influence of the infrastructure factor is stored in the infrastructure factor database and displayed on the output device 50 .
[0040]
Since the impact of on-track infrastructure factors on the evaluation data can be seen from the degree of impact of the infrastructure factors stored in the infrastructure factor database, operation management (speed, acceleration, etc.) and vehicle equipment (air conditioning, ventilation, etc.) for each traveling position etc.). This can improve vehicle and passenger comfort and safety.

In step S230, infrastructure factor evaluation data (Y Ij(X i)=Y j− Y Cj).
[0045]
In step S240, the infrastructure factor evaluation data (YIj(Xi)) is represented by the infrastructure factor evaluation data (YIj(p)) for the position (p). The position (p) is an element of the vehicle data (Xi) obtained in step S210 and corresponds to the traveling distance from the reference position on the track.
[0046]
In step S250, the positional resolution (Δp) of infrastructure factors is set. The resolution is set to a value smaller than the size of the possible infrastructure factor. In addition, the analysis process is set to finish within a realistic time. Therefore, the size and computation time of past infrastructure factors stored in the infrastructure factor database can be used.
[0047]
In step S260, the infrastructure factor evaluation data (Y Ij(p)) calculated in step S240 is subjected to moving average processing (F Ij (Y Ij)) with the positional resolution (Δp) set in step S250.

Hereinafter, the infrastructure factor evaluation data (F(Y Ij)) obtained by the moving average processing in S250 and S260 will be treated as "infrastructure factor evaluation data Y Ij".
[0055]
In step S310, the infrastructure factor evaluation data (Y Ij) extracted in process S260 of the infrastructure factor extraction unit 200 is acquired.
[0056]
In step S320, the evaluation data threshold (Y IjLim) for extracting individual infrastructure factors is input.
[0057]
In step S330, it is determined whether the infrastructure factor evaluation data (Y Ij) is less than the threshold (Y IjLim). If less than the threshold, go to step S340, otherwise go to step S350.
[0058]
In step S340, the infrastructure factor evaluation data (Y Ij) that is less than the threshold is set to zero. By this processing, individual infrastructure factors can be separated from the infrastructure factor evaluation data.
[0059]
In step S350, a position range [p kMin, p kMax] exceeding zero is extracted from the evaluation data obtained in step S340. The evaluation data of this position range becomes the evaluation data of individual infrastructure factors.
[0060]
In step S360, the evaluation data of the position range [p kMin, p kMax] obtained in step S350 is extracted from the evaluation data obtained in step S340, and set as individual infrastructure factor evaluation data (Y Ijk).

The feature values ​​include representative position (p k = (p kMin + p kMax)/2), size (Δp k = p kMax - p kMin), maximum value of evaluation data (Y IjkMax), and average value (Y IjkAve). . These feature amounts are added as elements of evaluation data (Y Ijk) of individual infrastructure factors.
