Appendix A Installation, Configuration and Calibration of GPS Dead Reckoning 55
- Gyroscope is calibrated while driving straight (offset) with making turns (scaling factor)
Automatic Calibration – Testing Environment
Driving recommendation if high accuracy is required very quickly, e.g. for product
testing and benchmarking:
The following driving directions are recommended to achieve an efficient calibration so dead
reck
oning yields high accuracy after a short period of time.
• The above instructions result in a calibration status within the shortest period of time.
Shoul
d traffic, road and regulatory conditions not allow achieving this track, the time until
optimum calibration will increase. However navigation results are already satisfactory
after a relatively short driving distance and time.
• The above instructions shall not be made a rule towards any end user.They shall only be
appl
ied in a product 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.
