The present invention relates to a GPS/dead-reckoning combination system
and an operation method of the same. The GPS/dead-reckoning combination
system includes a GPS receiver that receives an absolute position data of
a moving unit from a GPS; an inertia sensor that measures a displacement
of the moving unit based on a dead-reckoning method; a forward and
backward movement judging unit that judges a state data concerning a
forward or backward movement of the moving unit; a dead-reckoning
processor that measures a running distance and a position of the moving
unit based on a dead-reckoning method in reference with the data provided
from the inertia sensor and the forward and backward movement judging
unit; and a computation unit that estimates the current position of the
moving unit in reference with the data from the GPS receiver and the
dead-reckoning processor.
