IMU Based Inference System for Vehicles

Roadways are the most commonly used channel of transport. Statistically, most transport related deaths are seen on roadways. This study is about an IMU based inferencing system that collects data through an inertial measurement unit and a GPS. The data is used to generate an inference. The IMU data (ie) the accelerometric and gyroscopic data are processed to generate tilt sensitive pitch and roll angles which are processed along with corresponding GPS data to survey a section of a roadway and assign it a suitable score based on the ease of travel in the corresponding channel. The scores generated are in comparison to other roads. Through data from multiple nodes which have employed the same channel, a comparative score is generated which can be used for route planning by businesses and civilians alike.
