What is an Inertial Navigation System?

An inertial navigation system (INS) is a self contained navigation solution that uses accelerometers and gyroscopes to calculate position, velocity and attitude without relying on external signals such as GPS.

It continuously integrates measured accelerations and angular rates over time, allowing the platform to keep navigating during GNSS outages, in tunnels, parking structures or dense urban environments.

PositionTracks location even when external signals are weak.
VelocityMeasures movement and speed.
AttitudeCalculates roll, pitch and yaw.
Sensor FusionCombines IMU, GNSS, odometry and aiding sources.

Inertial Navigation Sensors and IMU Sensor Technology

Inertial navigation sensors are the core building blocks of any inertial navigation system, typically arranged as a three axis accelerometer plus a three axis gyroscope inside an IMU sensor.

Modern IMUs are often based on MEMS technology, offering a compact, rugged and cost effective solution suitable for production vehicles and mobile robots.

FAQs: Inertial Navigation System and IMU Sensors

1. What is an inertial navigation system used for?

An inertial navigation system is used to estimate position, speed and orientation of a moving platform without external references, making it essential where GNSS is unreliable or unavailable, such as tunnels, offshore, aerospace and highly automated driving.

2. What is an IMU sensor?

An IMU sensor, or inertial measurement unit, measures specific force and angular rate using accelerometers and gyroscopes, and sometimes magnetometers. These measurements are the basis for inertial navigation calculations.

3. Why is an IMU important for automotive applications?

An IMU for automotive provides accurate motion and orientation data for stability control, dead reckoning navigation and chassis control systems.

4. How is an IMU used in autonomous vehicles?

An IMU for autonomous vehicles feeds high rate motion data into sensor fusion algorithms, complementing GNSS, cameras, radar and lidar.
