Enhanced, Delay Dependent, Intelligent Fusion for INS/GPS Navigation System

Abstract

Low-cost navigation systems, deployed for ground vehicles' applications, are designed based on the loosely coupled fusion between the global positioning system (GPS) and the inertial measurement unit (IMU). However, low-cost GPS receivers provide the position and velocity of the vehicle at a lower sampling rate than the IMU-sampled vehicle dynamics. In addition, the GPS measurements might be missed or delayed due to the receiver's inability to lock on the signal or due to obstruction from neighboring vehicles or infrastructures. In this paper, an architecture based on an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system is proposed for fusing the GPS/IMU measurements. This integration incorporates the variable delay between the IMU and GPS signals as an additional input to the fusion system. In addition, once the GPS signal becomes available, the measurement is used as a correction reference value to provide an enhancement to the estimation accuracy. The performance of the proposed method is initially demonstrated using a GPS/IMU simulation environment. Subsequently, an experimental test is also conducted to validate the performance of the method.

Multiple Faulty GNSS Measurement Exclusion Based on Consistency Check in Urban Canyons

“…To compensate the effect of GPS outage caused by multipath and NLOS, GPS integrates with other sensors or additional information such as low-cost MEMS level inertial navigation system (INS) [16][17][18][19][20][21], magnetometer and other sensors [22,23] and 3D digital maps [24][25][26]. This paper aims to enhance GPS performance before its integration with other sensors.…”

Estimation, filtering and fusion for networked systems with network-induced phenomena: New progress and prospects

“…Hence, much work has been done on the topics of estimation, fusion, and distributed H ∞ filtering for networked systems over sensor networks in [134]- [137] and the references therein. For example, the estimation and fusion problems have been studied for networked systems over sensor networks in [36], [136], [138], [139] with missing measurements, in [136], [139]- [141] with time-delays, in [142] with sensor saturations, in [143] with signal quantization, and in [144] with channel errors. We will return to the topics of estimation and fusion for complex networks/sensor networks later, and more details concerning the recent advances will be presented in the following section.…”

“…In the indirect state estimation on the integrated navigation system, integrated navigation parameter error equation [3] constitutes the main part of navigation system's state equation. On the basis of the some measurement output, it utilizes Kalman filtering to estimate different error status of the system, and uses the estimated value of the error state to correct the system, and then reach the target of the system combination.…”
