    摘要: A vehicle including a Global Positioning System (GPS) sensor, an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), and an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) is described. Operating the vehicle includes determining, via the GPS sensor, first parameters associated with a velocity, a position, and a course, and determining, via the IMU, second parameters associated with acceleration and angular velocity. Roll and pitch parameters are determined based upon the first and second parameters. A first vehicle velocity vector is determined based upon the roll and pitch parameters, the first parameters, and the second parameters; and a second vehicle velocity vector is determined based upon the roll and pitch parameters, road surface friction coefficient, angular velocity, road wheel angles and the first vehicle velocity vector. A final vehicle velocity vector is determined based upon fusion of the first and second vehicle velocity vectors. The vehicle is controlled based upon the final vehicle velocity vector.

    摘要: A system and method of providing elevation information to a vehicle, the method including: maintaining a map matching software system at a remote server facility, wherein the remote software system includes a geographical map database storing geographical maps; receiving an elevation correction request from the vehicle, wherein the elevation correction request includes current vehicle location information; in response to receiving the elevation correction request from the vehicle, extracting elevation information from the geographical maps based at least in part on the current vehicle location information; and after extracting the elevation information from the geographical maps, sending the extracted elevation information to the vehicle, wherein the extracted elevation information includes elevation information concerning an area at or near the vehicle or along a pathway of the vehicle.
