Abstract

PURPOSE:To simply compute the course of a moving body by a method wherein an acceleration which is found by an axle rotational pulse generator and the indication value of an accelerometer which is directed to an advance direction are used. CONSTITUTION:When a train 1 runs on a gradient at an angle theta, an acceleration which is found by an axle rotational pulse generator 2 is designated as alpha, the indication value of an accelerometer 3 is designated as alpha' and a gravity acceleration is designated as (g). Then, alpha' becomes the sum of component forces in the gradient direction of alpha and (g), and alpha'=alpha+g.sin theta. The gradient theta can be computed on the basis of this expression. In this manner, the gradient of the course of a moving body can be detected with high accuracy and continuously without newly mounting an expensive gyro. In addition, when the acceleration in the advance direction of the moving body is found on the basis of a gradient which has been found in advance and of the accelerometer 3, the glide and the spin in the rotation of an axle can be corrected precisely.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when the acceleration of a moving body in the traveling direction is detected, it is obtained from the rotational displacement of a gyro attached to the moving body and the acceleration in the three-dimensional direction. I didn't need it, but I needed a gyro and three sets of accelerometers for this. When the acceleration in the traveling direction is obtained by an accelerometer installed in the traveling direction without using a gyro, it is necessary to detect the gradient of the moving body course. In this case, the rotational displacement of the gyro and the 3
A complicated calculation process is performed from the acceleration in the dimensional direction to obtain the gradient of the moving body path.

Action: Gravity acts on the accelerometer mounted on the moving body that travels along a sloped course, and the accelerometer indicates a value including a deviation from the acceleration in the traveling direction according to the gradient.
On the other hand, the acceleration of the rotation pulse generator for the axle mounted on the moving body correctly indicates the acceleration in the traveling direction of the moving body. This difference has a constant relationship with the gradient, and the gradient of the moving body path can be detected by a simple arithmetic process without using an expensive gyro.
