Abstract
An apparatus includes an inertial measurement unit (IMU) configured to detect motion characteristics of a vehicle. The apparatus also includes an odometry system configured to detect a wheel speed of each wheel of the vehicle. The apparatus further includes at least one processor communicatively connected to the IMU and the odometry system, the at least one processor configured to determine first parameters for predicting a path of the vehicle, determine second parameters for predicting the path of the vehicle, and predict the path of the vehicle using a combination of the first parameters and the second parameters, wherein the combination is weighted based on a longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle obtained using the IMU.
