3.1.4.1
Initial Calibration Drive
For
optimum navigation performance
the
system
needs
some
learning
time
and
distance
for
calibrating
the
various
sensors
inputs.
The
following
driving
directions
are
recommended
to
achieve
an
efficient
calibration
so
dead
reckoning
yields
high
accuracy
after
the
shortest
possible
period
of
time.
P
60
Find a place with open sky view
e.g. a big parking site
Start GPS and stand still for 90
seconds until valid position is
calculated
Drive straight route for 500m, at
least 40 km/h
Drive curves and straight segments
for ca. 5 minutes with good
visibility in any order
Exeed 60 km/h for at least 10 sec
Make at least two sharp left turns
(90 deg or more)
Make at least two sharp right turns
(90 deg or more)
Collect data of active temperature
compensation

Figure 13: Initial EKF Calibration Drive
The
mentioned
distances
and
durations
are
typical
values,
a
better
indication
are
the
quality
indicators
of
the
calibration
values
in
UBX
–
NAV
(Navigation)
–
EKF
Status
(Status).
The
Percentage
values
indicate
clearly
which
phase
of
the
initial
calibration
the
receiver
is
in.
In
Phase IV
good
DR
performance
can
already
be
expected,
as
all
sensors
are
calibrated.
Still
further
fine
calibration
will
be
ongoing
with
good
GPS
reception.
.
!
Note
The
above
instructions
result
in
a
calibration
status
within
the
shortest
period
of
time.
Should
traffic,
road
and
regulatory
conditions
not
allow
such
a
calibration
drive,
the
time
until
optimum
calibration
will
increase.
However
navigation
results
are
already
satisfactory
after
a
relatively
short
driving
distance
and
time.
!
Warning
The above instructions shall not be made a rule towards any end user. They shall only
be applied in a testing environment where sufficient care is taken that these driving instructions can
be carried out without creating any risk of accidents or violation of regulations.
