Résumé

The use of bicycles is regaining popularity, especially in city centers where they can be used as quickly as cars and reduce carbon footprint. However, in these dense urban environments, navigation methods based on GNSS technologies do not provide sufficient accuracy for cyclist navigation and safety. To mitigate the challenges of indoor-like surroundings, a new positioning algorithm: BIKES (Bicycle Itinerancy Kalman filter with Embedded Sensors) was developed. This extended Kalman filter processes deeply degraded GNSS data to update velocity and position estimates with differential computation approaches working even in degraded environments. GNSS signals are combined with inertial and magnetic data to continuously estimate the trajectory when GNSS is unavailable. BIKES' performance was tested in real-life conditions on a 3 km long path in the city center downtown Nantes and compared to Google Fused Location Provider estimates. A mean positioning error below 1 m with a 0.5 m standard deviation is achieved. These results are 4 times better than the Google solution. This algorithm allows also distinguishing if the cyclist is riding on a bike path, the sidewalk, or the road, which is critical for guidance systems.
