Abstract
An inertia measurement device, which is used in combination with a satellite positioning receiver that outputs a positioning result at every T seconds in a positioning system equipped on a vehicle, when a Z-axis angular velocity sensor, a position error P[m] based on the detection signal of the Z-axis angular velocity sensor while the vehicle moves at a moving speed V[m/sec] for T seconds satisfies Pp≥P=(V/Bz)×(1−cos(Bz×T)) (where, a bias error of the Z-axis angular velocity sensor is Bz[deg/sec] and a predetermined allowable maximum position error during movement for T seconds is Pp[m]), and a bias error Bx and By of the Y-axis angular velocity sensor satisfies Bz<Bx and Bz<By.
Claims18
An inertial measurement unit comprising:
- when the three axes orthogonal to each other are the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis,
- an angular velocity sensor and an acceleration sensor,
- wherein the angular velocity sensor outputs
- a first angular velocity signal related to an angular velocity around the X axis,
- a second angular velocity signal related to an angular velocity around the Y axis, and
- a third angular velocity signal related to an angular velocity around the Z axis,
- wherein,
- when a bias error of the first angular velocity signal is Bx [deg/sec],
- a bias error of the second angular velocity signal is set to By [deg/sec], and
- a bias error of the third angular velocity signal is Bz [deg/sec],
- Bz<Bx, and
- Bz<By
- are satisfied.
