The term “dead reckoning” comes from the nautical tradition, where it was used to describe a navigation technique that involved estimating a vessel’s current position based on its previously known position and course, combined with speed and time measurements. This method assumes that the object’s motion is constant, and there are no external forces acting on it, such as wind or currents.    In the context of inertial navigation systems, dead reckoning is achieved through the use of accelerometers and gyroscopes. These sensors measure the object’s linear accelerations and angular velocities, respectively. By integrating these measurements over time, the system continuously updates its estimated position, velocity, and attitude. #TDK#TDKTrustedPositioning#TrustedPositioning#sensors#PositioningSoftware  #INS#GNSS#InertialNavigation #LocationSystems #RTLS
