Abstract:In this paper, the performance of zero velocity update (ZUPT) in the GNSS/INS tightly coupled integration is researched. First, we propose a zero velocity judgment method by the utilization of GNSS/INS tightly coupled solver velocity solutions, IMU raw data and doppler data. Then, the mathematical model for the ZUPT added GNSS/INS tightly coupled integration is introduced in detail, and it is verified by vehicle testing. The statistics show that the new zero velocity judgment method is very effective in detecting the static state of the platform in comparison with real situations. By using this ZUPT mode, the IMU sensor error accumulation while stationary can be constrained visibly, especially in poor observation environmental conditions. Compared to the result without ZUPT, in a short time in the stationary state, the carrier position and velocity accuracy can be improved by 27% and 35% respectively in the quality of satellite observations, and 16%-75% and 87%-97% respectively in the case of 30-120 s satellite signal interruption. However, the improvements of altitude accuracy are not obvious whether the satellite signal is normal or interrupted when the stationary time is not so long.
