| Abstract: |
This paper describes an Extended Kalman Filter for a wheel mounted inertial measurement unit using two accelerometers and a single gyroscope as a substitute for classical odometry sensing. The sensor can be mounted with minimal effort on existing wheeled vehicles. It is highly robust against vibration while rolling on uneven terrain and can cope with higher speeds even when the measurement range is partially exceeded. It has been developed as a component of a GPS based urban navigation assistant for elderly people using walkers, wheelchairs, or tricycles as an add-on device. |
