Normal operation of the pressure sensor is important for the safe operation of the locomotive electro-pneumatic brake system. Sensor fault diagnosis technology facilitates detection of sensor health. However, the strong nonlinearity and variable process noise of the brake system make the sensor fault diagnosis become challenging. In this paper, an adaptive unscented Kalman filter- (UKF-) based fault diagnosis strategy is proposed, aimed at detecting bias faults and drift faults of the equalizing reservoir pressure sensor in the brake system. Firstly, an adaptive UKF based on the Sage-Husa method is applied to accurately estimate the pressure transients in the equalizing reservoir of the brake system. Then, the residual is generated between the estimated pressure by the UKF and the measured pressure by the sensor. Afterwards, the Sequential Probability Ratio Test is used to evaluate the residual so that the incipient and gradual sensor faults can be diagnosed. An experimental prototype platform for diagnosis of the equalizing reservoir pressure control system is constructed to validate the proposed method.

Pm2.5 Concentration

The PM2.5 concentration model is the key to predict PM2.5 concentration. During the prediction of atmospheric PM2.5 concentration based on prediction model, the prediction model of PM2.5 concentration cannot be usually accurately described. For the PM2.5 concentration model in the same period, the dynamic characteristics of the model will change under the influence of many factors. Similarly, for different time periods, the corresponding models of PM2.5 concentration may be different, and the single model cannot play the corresponding ability to predict PM2.5 concentration. The single model leads to the decline of prediction accuracy. To improve the accuracy of PM2.5 concentration prediction in this solution, a multiple model adaptive unscented Kalman filter (MMAUKF) method is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the PM2.5 concentration data in three time periods of the day are taken as the research object, the nonlinear state space model frame of a support vector regression (SVR) method is established. Secondly, the frame of the SVR model in three time periods is combined with an adaptive unscented Kalman filter (AUKF) to predict PM2.5 concentration in the next hour, respectively. Then, the predicted value of three time periods is fused into the final predicted PM2.5 concentration by Bayesian weighting method. Finally, the proposed method is compared with the single support vector regression-adaptive unscented Kalman filter (SVR-AUKF), autoregressive model-Kalman (AR-Kalman), autoregressive model (AR) and back propagation neural network (BP). The prediction results show that the accuracy of PM2.5 concentration prediction is improved in whole time period.

Integrated Navigation System

An inertial navigation system (INS) aided with an aircraft dynamic model (ADM) is developed as a novel airborne integrated navigation system, coping with the absence of a global navigation satellite system. To overcome the shortcomings of the conventional linear integration of INS/ADM based on an extended Kalman filter, a nonlinear integration method is proposed. Fast-update ADM makes it possible to utilize a direct filtering method, which employs nonlinear INS mechanics as system equations and a nonlinear ADM as observation equations, substituting the indirect filtering based on linear error equations. The strong nonlinearity generally calls for an unscented Kalman filter to accomplish the fusion process. Dealing with the model uncertainty, the inaccurate statistical characteristics of the noise and the potential nonpositive definiteness of the covariance matrix, an improved square-root unscented H∞ filter (ISRUHF) is derived in the paper, in which the robust factor [Formula: see text] is further expanded into a diagonal matrix [Formula: see text], to improve the accuracy and robustness of the integrated navigation system. Corresponding simulations as well as real flight tests based on a small-scale fixed-wing aircraft are operated and ISRUHF shows superiority compared with the commonly used fusion algorithm.
