Abstract: A system for determining movement characteristics of a mobile machine may comprise: a sensor coupled to the machine and configured to communicate a signal indicative of a velocity of the machine, wherein the sensor is coupled to a portion of the machine that is disparate from a rear axle of the machine; an inertial measurement unit coupled to the machine and configured to communicate a signal indicative of an acceleration and an angular velocity of the machine; and a controller configured to: receive (a) the velocity signal and (b) the acceleration and angular velocity signal; and using (a) the velocity signal and (b) the acceleration and angular velocity signal, determine a lateral velocity of the rear axle of the machine.

Abstract: A system having a primary inertial measurement unit and a secondary inertial measurement unit configured to generate a primary position signal and a secondary position signal respectively is provided. The system also includes an error detection module communicably coupled to the primary inertial measurement unit and the secondary inertial measurement unit. The error detection module is configured to receive the primary position signal and the secondary position signal and detect if an out-range error is present in at least one of the primary position signal and the secondary position signal. The error detection module is also configured to detect if an in-range error is present in at least one of the primary position signal and the secondary position signal and determine an action to be performed based on the presence of at least one of the out-range error and the in-range error.
