Abstract

This paper aims to introduce a novel approach named IMM-UKF-TFS (Interacting Multiple Model-Unscented Kalman Filter-Two Filter Smoother) to attain positional accuracy in the intelligent navigation of a manoeuvring vehicle. Here, the navigation filter is designed with an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF), together with an Interacting Multiple Model algorithm (IMM), which estimates the state variables and handles the noise uncertainty of the manoeuvring vehicle. A model-based estimator named Two Filter Smoothing (TFS) is implemented along with the UKF-based IMM to improve positional accuracy. The performance of the proposed IMM-UKF-TFS method is verified by modelling the vehicle motion into Constant Velocity-Coordinated Turn (CV-CT), Constant Velocity – Constant Acceleration (CV-CA) and Constant Acceleration-Coordinated Turn (CA-CT) models. The simulation results proved that the proposed IMM-UKF-TFS gives better positional accuracy than the existing conventional estimators such as UKF and IMM-UKF.
