57AbstractABSysteme und Verfahren zur Verbesserung eines Trägheitsnavigationssystems (INS) umfassen das Ausgeben einer mit dem Arbeitsgerät assoziierten Positionsinformation von dem INS, und das Einstellen des Arbeitsgeräts basierend auf einem Vergleich der Positionsinformation des Arbeitsgeräts mit einer gewünschten Position des Arbeitsgeräts. Das INS wird in regelmäßigen Abständen unter Verwendung von Fehlerabschätzungen, die von einem Kalman-Filter als Funktion von Positionsinformationen erzeugt wurden, neu initialisiert, wobei die Positionsinformationen von einer oder mehreren Positionierungs- (oder Mess-)vorrichtungen wie beispielsweise einem Fächerlaser, einer automatischen Totalstation (ATS), einem GNSS-Empfänger, oder einem bodenbasierten Funkentfernungsmesssystem stammen, um eine Abweichung der Positionsinformation zu korrigieren, die durch inhärente Eigenschaften des INS verursacht werden können.
