Research on the automotive sensor–aided low-cost inertial navigation system for land vehicles

Inertial Navigation System for Mobile Land Vehicles

This paper describes a prototype of an inertial navigation system for use in mobile land vehicles, such as cars or mobile robots. The complete system is composed by sensors, their mechanical mount and cabling, these connect to a PC card with local processing and memory, based on a Intel 80C196KC microcontroller. The sensors used were a piezoelectric vibrating gyroscope, two silicon acceleromete...

Low Cost, High Integrity, Aided Inertial Navigation Systems for Autonomous Land Vehicles

Integration of a GPS aided Strapdown Inertial Navigation System for Land Vehicles

The estimation accuracy of a low-cost inertial navigation system (INS) is limited by the accuracy of the used sensors and the imperfect mathematical modeling of the error sources. By fusing the INS data with GPS data, the errors can be bounded and the accuracy increases considerably. In this project, a low-cost in-house constructed inertial measurement unit (IMU) and an off-the-shelf GPS receiv...

On-Line Smoothing for an Integrated Navigation System with Low-Cost MEMS Inertial Sensors

The integration of the Inertial Navigation System (INS) and the Global Positioning System (GPS) is widely applied to seamlessly determine the time-variable position and orientation parameters of a system for navigation and mobile mapping applications. For optimal data fusion, the Kalman filter (KF) is often used for real-time applications. Backward smoothing is considered an optimal post-proces...
