Sensors based on MEMS technology, in particular Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), when installed on vehicles, provide a real-time full estimation of vehicles' state vector (e.g., position, velocity, yaw angle, angular rate, acceleration), which is required for the planning and control of cars' trajectories, as well as managing the in-car local navigation and positioning tasks.

Such sensors allow implementing lightweight monitoring systems with low management costs, low power consumption and a small size. However, for the monitoring systems to provide trustworthy and meaningful data, the high accuracy and reliability of sensors are essential requirements.
