To release the strong dependence of the conventional inertial navigation mechanization on the a priori low-cost inertial measurement unit (IMU) error model, this research applies an unconventional multi-sensor integration strategy to integrate multiple low-cost IMUs and a global positioning system (GPS) for mass-market automotive applications. The unconventional integration strategy utilizes a basic three-dimensional (3D) kinematic trajectory model as the system model to directly estimate navigational parameters, and it allows the measurements from all of the sensors independently participating in measurement updates. However, the less complex kinematic model cannot realize smooth transitions between different motion statuses for the road vehicle with acceleration maneuvers. In this manuscript, we establish a more practical 3D kinematic trajectory model based on a “current” statistical Singer acceleration model to realize smooth transitions for the maneuvering vehicle. In addition, taking advantage of the unconventional strategy, we individually model the systematic errors of each IMU and the measurements of all sensors, in contrast to most existing approaches that adopt the common-mode errors for different sensors of the same design. A real dataset involving a GPS and multiple IMUs is processed to validate the success of the proposed algorithm model under the unconventional integration strategy.
