Multi-Sensor Information Fusion Positioning of AUKF Maglev Trains Based on Self-Corrected Weighting

Achieving accurate positioning of maglev trains is one of the key technologies for the safe operation of maglev trains and train schedules. Aiming at magnetic levitation train positioning, there are problems such as being easily interfered with by external noise, the single positioning method, and traditional weighting affected by historical data, which lead to the deviation of positioning fusion results. Therefore, this paper adopts self-corrected weighting and Sage-Husa noise estimation algorithms to improve them and proposes a research method of multi-sensor information fusion and positioning of an AUKF magnetic levitation train based on self-correcting weighting. Multi-sensor information fusion technology is applied to the positioning of maglev trains, which does not rely on a single sensor. It combines the Sage-Husa algorithm with the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) to form the AUKF algorithm using the data collected by the cross-sensor lines, INS, Doppler radar, and GNSS, which adaptively updates the statistical feature estimation of the measurement noise and eliminates the single-function and low-integration shortcomings of the various modules to achieve the precise positioning of maglev trains. The experimental results point out that the self-correction-based AUKF filter trajectories are closer to the real values, and their ME and RMSE errors are smaller, indicating that the self-correction-weighted AUKF algorithm proposed in this paper has significant advantages in terms of stability, accuracy, and simplicity.

Abstract

Achieving accurate positioning of maglev trains is one of the key technologies for the safe operation of maglev trains and train schedules. Aiming at magnetic levitation train positioning, there are problems such as being easily interfered with by external noise, the single positioning method, and traditional weighting affected by historical data, which lead to the deviation of positioning fusion results. Therefore, this paper adopts self-corrected weighting and Sage-Husa noise estimation algorithms to improve them and proposes a research method of multi-sensor information fusion and positioning of an AUKF magnetic levitation train based on self-correcting weighting. Multi-sensor information fusion technology is applied to the positioning of maglev trains, which does not rely on a single sensor. It combines the Sage-Husa algorithm with the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) to form the AUKF algorithm using the data collected by the cross-sensor lines, INS, Doppler radar, and GNSS, which adaptively updates the statistical feature estimation of the measurement noise and eliminates the single-function and low-integration shortcomings of the various modules to achieve the precise positioning of maglev trains. The experimental results point out that the self-correction-based AUKF filter trajectories are closer to the real values, and their ME and RMSE errors are smaller, indicating that the self-correction-weighted AUKF algorithm proposed in this paper has significant advantages in terms of stability, accuracy, and simplicity.
