Abstract :
The results of an integrated strap-down inertial system development and tests are presented. The system includes laser gyros and accelerometers and is intended for measuring railway track angular parameters. To raise the accuracy of angles and distance measurements the inertial system is integrated with a GPS receiver and an odometer. Test results showed that BINS-N accuracy is better than the accuracy of an issued system
