Algorithm and Application of Foundation Displacement Monitoring of Railway Cable Bridges Based on Satellite Observation Data

Abstract

In order to realize real time monitoring of foundation displacement of railway cable bridge based on satellite observation system, reasonable data sources of satellite monitoring and data analysis duration are necessary, and the influence of various errors should be eliminated in the process of satellite signal acquisition. In this paper, the validity of foundation settlement monitoring of bridge tower by satellite is verified through accuracy and stability tests. For eliminating the multipath error and random noise of GNSS signal, a new method is presented by combining stationary wavelet transform and empirical mode decomposition in this study. For improving the observation accuracy of the satellite monitoring system, combing the measured data, the GNSS data are corrected by establishing non-linear mapping between the GNSS data and precise leveling data by BP neural network. Based on that, the accuracy of the presented method is verified by the foundation settlement data of a new railway cable bridge tower.
