Indoor dynamic positioning system based on strapdown inertial navigation technology

Strapdown inertial navigation technology, which is widely used in aerospace, is a navigation technology in which the gyros sensor and accelerometers sensor are rigidly attached to the body of the object. This article describes an application of strapdown inertial navigation technology in indoor dynamic positioning system. The hardware design of the node include the master controller, data collection, sensors, antenna and related peripheral circuit. Positioning algorithm, data acquisition and transmission are done by software programming based on the hardware circuit. The strapdown inertial navigation composed of the hardware and the software could calculate the position of the object. Simulation software(matlab) is used to confirm the correctness of the positioning algorithm which is implemented by software programming in the system. The system uses the wireless sensor network to expand the range of the positioning. The system of which the information transmission is reliable and the mobility is strongly can satisfy the requirements of the emergency.
