  • Vehicle heading validation using inertial measurement unit
    Patent number: 8996310
    Abstract: A navigation system repeatedly determines a GNSS heading for the vehicle based on GNSS data received from the GNSS receiver, and repeatedly determines an inertial heading for the vehicle based on data received from an inertial measurement unit. The navigation system repeatedly sets the inertial heading to a verified GNSS heading and then provides the set inertial heading as input to a recursive feedback algorithm. The recursive feedback algorithm receives additional inputs indicating the vehicle's angular displacement or acceleration and outputs an updated inertial heading. The navigation system compares the subsequently determined GNSS headings with the updated inertial heading. If the two headings are different, the navigation system sets the GNSS heading to the updated inertial or 180 degree reverse of the GNSS heading.
