Research on GNSS/MEMS IMU Array Fusion Localization Method Based on Improved Grey Prediction Model.

Abstract

To address the issue of decreased positioning accuracy caused by interference or blockage of GNSS signals in vehicle navigation systems, this paper proposes a GNSS/MEMS IMU array fusion localization method based on an improved grey prediction model. First, a multi-feature fusion GNSS confidence evaluation algorithm is designed to assess the reliability of GNSS data in real time using indicators such as signal strength, satellite visibility, and solution consistency; second, to overcome the limitations of traditional grey prediction models in processing vehicle complex motion data, two key improvements are proposed: (1) a dynamic background value optimization method based on vehicle motion characteristics, which dynamically adjusts the weight coefficients in the background value construction according to vehicle speed, acceleration, and road curvature, enhancing the model's sensitivity to changes in vehicle motion state; (2) a residual sequence compensation mechanism, which analyzes the variation patterns of historical residual sequences to accurately correct the prediction results, significantly improving the model's prediction accuracy in nonlinear motion scenarios; finally, an adaptive fusion framework under normal and denied GNSS conditions is constructed, which directly fuses data when GNSS is reliable, and uses the improved grey model prediction results as virtual measurements for fusion during signal denial. Simulation and vehicle experiments verify that: compared to the traditional GM(1,1) model, the proposed method improves prediction accuracy by 31%, 52%, and 45% in straight, turning, and acceleration scenarios, respectively; in a 30-s GNSS denial scenario, the accuracy is improved by over 79% compared to pure INS methods.
