ABSTRACT:
An embodiment of the present invention is a combined GPS and dead-reckoning (DR) navigation sensor for a vehicle in which a pair of modifications are made to an otherwise conventional Kalman filter. Process noise is adapted to cope with scale factor errors associated with odometer and turning rate sensors, and correlated measurement error processing is added. When only two Doppler measurements (PRRs), or three with an awkward three-satellite geometry, are available, DR error growth can nevertheless be controlled. The measurement error correlations in the conventional Kalman filter covariance propagation and update equations are explicitly accounted for. Errors induced by selective availability periods are minimized by these two modifications.
