Abstract

Due to the complex structure of the tower crane and the signal noise, it is difficult to estimate and predict the real position signal, which may lead to inaccurate positioning of the tower crane trolley. A tower crane positioning algorithm based on D-S evidence theory and unscented Kalman filter (DS-UKF) is established and developed. First, the nonlinear dynamic model, state equation, and detection equation of the tower crane are constructed based on the complex structure of the tower crane. Second, the arm angle is estimated, and the distance between the trolley and the root of the arm is positioned. Finally, in order to calculate the weight of a single sensor, the D-S evidence theory is used to process the measurement information of the sensor and the estimated value of the filter. The Kalman filter, which has good signal tracking and estimation ability, is used to predict and estimate the position of the trolley. The accurate positioning of the tower crane trolley is realized through the organic fusion of information. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the DS-UKF positioning algorithm.
