TLDR
In this article, an integrated dead reckoning (DR) and GNSS/INS control system and method for guiding, navigating and controlling vehicles and equipment is provided for logistics operations where ships, cranes and stacked containers can block satellite signals.Abstract:
An integrated dead reckoning (DR) and GNSS/INS control system and method are provided for guiding, navigating and controlling vehicles and equipment. A controller generally prioritizes GNSS navigation when satellite signals are available. Upon signal interruption, DR guidance can be integrated with INS to continue autosteering and other automated functions. Exemplary applications include logistics operations where ships, cranes and stacked containers can block satellite signals.read more
