The key technology to realize intelligent unmanned coal mining is the strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS); however, the gradual increase of cumulative error during the working process needs to be solved. On the basis of an SINS/odometer (OD)-integrated navigation system, this paper adds magnetometer (MAG)-aided positioning and proposes an SINS/OD/MAG-integrated shearer navigation system. The velocity observation equation is obtained from the speed constraints during shearer movement, and the yaw angle observation equation is obtained from the magnetometer output. The position information of the SINS output is calibrated using these two observations. In order to improve the fault tolerance of the integrated navigation system, an adaptive federated Kalman filter is established to complete the data fusion of the SINS. Experimental results show that the positioning accuracy of the SINS/OD/MAG-integrated navigation system is 75.64% and 74.01% higher in the east and north directions, respectively, than the SINS/OD-integrated navigation system.

Considering the drawbacks that GPS signal is susceptible to obstacles and TAN becomes useless in some area when without any terrain data or with a featureless terrain field, to realize long-distance and high-precision navigation, a navigation system based on SINS/GPS/TAN/EOAN is presented. When GPS signal is available, GPS is used to correct errors of SINS; when GPS is unavailable, a terrain selection method based on the entropy weighted gray relational decision-making method is use to distinguish terrain into matchable areas and unmatchable areas; then, for the matchable areas, TAN is used to correct errors of SINS, for the unmatchable areas, EOAN is used to correct errors of SINS. The principles of SINS, GPS, TAN, and EOAN are analyzed, the mathematic models of SINS/GPS, SINS/TAN, and SINS/EOAN are constructed, and finally the federated Kalman filter is used to fuse navigation information. Simulation results show that the trajectory of SINS/GPS/TAN/EOAN is close to the ideal one in both matchable area or unmatchable area and whose navigation errors are obviously reduced, which is important for the realization of long-time and high-precision positioning.

Federated Kalman Filter

In multi-sensor integrated navigation systems, when sub-systems are non-linear and with Gaussian noise, the federated Kalman filter commonly used generates large error or even failure when estimating the global fusion state. This paper, taking JIDS/SINS/GPS integrated navigation system as example, proposes a federated particle filter technology to solve problems above. This technology, combining the particle filter with the federated Kalman filter, can be applied to non-linear non-Gaussian integrated system. It is proved effective in information fusion algorithm by simulated application, where the navigation information gets well fused.

We describe an integrated navigation system based on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), an Inertial Navigation System (INS) and terrestrial ranging technologies that can support accurate and seamless indoor-outdoor positioning. To overcome severe multipath disturbance in indoor environments, Locata technology is used in this navigation system. Such a “Locata-augmented” navigation system can operate in different positioning modes in both indoor and outdoor environments. In environments where GNSS is unavailable, e.g. indoors, the proposed system is designed to operate in the Locata/INS “loosely-integrated” mode. On the other hand, in outdoor environments, all GNSS, Locata and INS measurements are available, and all useful information can be fused via a decentralised Federated Kalman filter. To evaluate the proposed system for seamless indoor-outdoor positioning, an indoor-outdoor test was conducted at a metal-clad warehouse. The test results confirmed that the proposed navigation system can provide continuous and reliable position and attitude solutions, with the positioning accuracy being better than five centimetres.

Navigation Scheme

In order to utilise the position and attitude information of a Celestial Navigation System (CNS) to aid a Strapdown Inertial Navigation System (SINS) and make it possible to achieve long-range and high-precision navigation, a new SINS/CNS integrated navigation scheme based on overall optimal correction is proposed. Firstly, the optimal installation angle of the star sensor is acquired according to the geometric relationship between the refraction stars area and the star sensor's visual field. Secondly, an analytical method to determine position and horizontal reference is introduced. Thirdly, the mathematical model of the SINS/CNS integrated navigation system is established. Finally, some simulations are carried out to compare the navigation performance of the proposed SINS/CNS integrated scheme with that of the traditional gyro-drift-corrected integration scheme. Simulation results indicate that in the proposed scheme, without the aid of SINS, CNS can provide attitude and position information and the errors of the SINS are able to be estimated and corrected efficiently. Therefore, the navigation performance of the proposed SINS/CNS scheme is superior to that of a more traditional scheme in long-range flight.

Precise Point Positioning/Inertial Navigation System (PPP/INS) integrated navigation based on PPP and low-accuracy INS is often used to provide position and attitude information for vehicle-mounted or airborne mobile mapping systems. With proper processing, the position accuracy of PPP/INS is comparable to that of Differential Global Navigation Satellite System (DGNSS)/INS, but the accuracy of the attitude, especially the yaw angle, cannot be guaranteed. However, the yaw angle is crucial for mobile mapping systems. To compensate for the insufficiency of PPP/INS, we have designed a Multi-Antenna GNSS (MAGNSS)/INS integrated navigation system. First, the attitude determination method using MAGNSS is presented in detail. Then, the MAGNSS attitude is combined with the PPP position and velocity as measurements for integration with the INS. Thus, PPP/INS integrated navigation was improved to MAGNSS/INS integrated navigation. Finally, a three-hour car-borne test was conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. The results indicate that the attitude determined from MAGNSS is accurate and stable over time. Compared to PPP/INS, MAGNSS/INS integrated navigation can improve the attitude accuracy significantly because of the inclusion of MAGNSS attitude.
