ABSTRACT:
The improved vehicle navigation system can take advantage of the recent availability of low cost micro-machined and piezoelectric sensors, and partially overcomes the low dynamics and line of sight limitations of GPS receivers without resorting to the hard wired approach described above. The low cost sensors introduce system level errors due to their inherent DC offset and drift rates. The improved vehicle navigation system minimizes both the sensor induced errors and GPS low dynamic limitations by using a zero motion detection system as a self contained (within the navigation system), vehicle independent device.
