TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - GPS/MEMS INS data fusion and map matching in urban areas JO - Sensors (Basel) A1 - Chu, Hone-Jay A1 - Tsai, Guang-Je A1 - Chiang, Kai-Wei A1 - Duong, Thanh-Trung SP - 11280 EP - 11288 VL - 13 IS - 9 N2 - This paper presents an evaluation of the map-matching scheme of an integrated GPS/INS system in urban areas. Data fusion using a Kalman filter and map matching are effective approaches to improve the performance of navigation system applications based on GPS/MEMS IMUs. The study considers the curve-to-curve matching algorithm after Kalman filtering to correct mismatch and eliminate redundancy. By applying data fusion and map matching, the study easily accomplished mapping of a GPS/INS trajectory onto the road network. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithms in controlling the INS drift error and indicate the potential of low-cost MEMS IMUs in navigation applications.
