Abstract
Odometer is a good information source for land vehicle navigation because it can detect the velocity or mileage of a vehicle. Odometer scale factor, misalignment, and level arm with inertial measurement unit are the three sources of integration inaccuracy. However, they are difficult to be calibrated using a single procedure as they vary with many factors, such as the environment temperature, loading, and mounting factors. The online calibration method of the total odometer error and the odometer-aided inertial navigation system algorithm based on Coriolis Law were derived in this study. Vehicle test results indicated that the proposed calibration method can perform a good estimation of total odometer error. Navigation accuracy can be improved significantly with the calibrated odometer when the Global Positioning System declares loss-of-lock, which is approximately 1‰ of the mileage.
