In urban areas, Global Positioning System (GPS) accuracy deteriorates due to signal degradation and multipath effects. To provide accurate and robust navigation in such GPS-denied environments, multi-sensor integrated navigation systems are developed. This paper introduces a 3D multi-sensor navigation system that integrates inertial sensors, odometry and GPS for land-vehicle navigation. A new error model is developed and an efficient loosely coupled closed-loop Kalman Filter (Extended KF or EKF) integration scheme is proposed. In this EKF-based integration scheme, the inertial/odometry navigation output is continuously corrected by EKF-estimated errors, which keeps the errors within acceptable linearization ranges which improves the prediction accuracy of the linearized dynamic error model. Consequently, the overall performance of the integrated system is improved. Real road experiments and comparison with earlier works have demonstrated a more reliable performance during GPS signal degradation and accurate estimation of inertial sensor errors (biases) have led to a more sustainable performance reliability during long GPS complete outages.
