Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) are popular navigation sensor for position fixing technique and dead reckoning system that complement each other. GNSS can provide accurate position and velocity information when it establishes a Line of Sight (LOS) with a minimum of four satellites. However, this accuracy can decrease due to signal outage, jamming, interference, and multipath effects. On the other hand, the IMU has the advantage of measuring the platform’s orientation with a high-frequency update and is not affected by environmental conditions. However, a drift effect causes the measurement errors to accumulate. Several studies have demonstrated the fusion of both sensors in terms of the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF). This study conduct sensor fusion for car localization in an urban environment based on the loosely coupled integration scheme. In order to improve the sensor fusion performance, pre-processing GNSS and IMU data were applied. The result shows that pre-processing DGNSS and IMU filtering can increase the accuracy of the integrated navigation solution up to 80.02% in the east, 80.13% in the north, and 89.45% in the up direction during the free outage period.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
