Abstrakt: The presented contribution describes an approach to preprocessing and fusion of additional vehicle onboard sensors - the odometer and accelerometer, all targeted to serve as optional and temporary substitute for GPS-like navigation. The suggested solution explores a rule-based system for mutual substitutions and calibrations of the used sensors depending on actual conditions. The only usage of the GPS here stands in providing regular position calibrations and serves as a reference method for evaluation of the presented results. The presented solutions have been experimentally tested with real-world data as shown in the experimental part of the paper. Keywords: data fusion, vehicle locator, odometer, accelerometer, odometry corrections, inertial navigation, satellite navigation [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
