TWO INERTIAL MEASUREMENT UNITS AND GPS BASED LOCALIZATION SYSTEM FOR AN AUTONOMOUS DRIVING TRUCK

摘要

In one embodiment, a method of operating an autonomous driving truck includes receiving location data from a first inertial measurement unit, a first global positioning system, a second inertial measurement unit, and a second global positioning system at a planning module of the autonomous driving truck. The first inertial measurement unit and the first global positioning system are attached to a cabin of the autonomous driving truck and the second inertial measurement unit and the second global positioning system are attached to a body structure of the autonomous driving truck in which the body structure extends away from the cabin. The method further includes receiving location data from the second inertial measurement unit and the second global positioning system at a control module of the autonomous driving truck and controlling the autonomous driving truck based on the received location data at the planning and control modules.
