ABSTRACT:
In a method for estimating a parameter based on signals received from redundant sensors, at least a first sensed signal and a second sensed signal are received from at least corresponding first and second redundant sensors. The first sensed signal and the second sensed signal are indicative of the parameter, wherein the first sensed signal has associated therewith a first accuracy, wherein the second sensed signal has associated therewith a second accuracy. At least a reference signal indicative of the parameter is received, wherein the reference signal has associated therewith a reference accuracy. A weighting is determined based on at least the first sensed signal, the second sensed signal, and based on at least one of the first accuracy, the second accuracy, and the reference accuracy.
