Abstract
A dead-reckoning guidance system determines a vehicle-speed of the host-vehicle based on wheel-signals from the one or more wheel-sensors; determines a distance-traveled by the host-vehicle during a time-interval since prior-coordinates of the host-vehicle were determined; determines a heading-traveled of the host-vehicle during the time-interval since the prior-coordinates of the host-vehicle were determined; determines present-coordinates of the host-vehicle based on the distance-traveled and the heading-traveled; determines when the vehicle-speed is greater than a speed-threshold; determines when the heading-traveled differs from a cardinal-direction by both greater than a noise-threshold and less than an angle-threshold; and in response to a determination that both the vehicle-speed is greater than the speed-threshold and that the heading-traveled differs from the cardinal-direction by both greater than the noise-threshold and less than the angle-threshold, determines a coordinate-correction to apply to the present-coordinates, said coordinate-correction determined in accordance with the distance-traveled and the cardinal-direction.
