Data fusion system and method of differential GPS (Global Position System) and inertial navigation in intelligent vehicle

The invention relates to a data fusion system and method of a differential GPS and an inertial navigation in an intelligent vehicle. The data fusion method of the differential GPS and the inertial navigation in the intelligent vehicle includes utilizing the differential GPS arranged at the top of the vehicle to obtain information provided by a space satellite and utilizing an upper computer which is to perform data fusion to extract GPS data according to the NEMA-0183 protocol to obtain information such as heading, speed and position; utilizing an inertial navigation system arranged in the middle of the inside of the vehicle body to collect data of a heading changing rate and x-axis and y-axis accelerations during vehicle operating, and transmitting the data to the upper computer which is to perform data fusion to obtain a heading angle and the speed and the displacement of the x-axis and the y-axis; and through algorithm integration, finally obtaining accurate navigational positioning information and utilizing the inertial system to provide RI (Related Information) under the condition that the GPS signals are lost. Besides, the method further includes displaying the navigational positioning data in a map and transmitting the packed data to a planning decision-making upper computer through an LAN (Local Area Network) created through a router, and controlling the intelligent vehicle according to analyzed information and actual travelling conditions.
