Autonomous vehicles are widely used in logistics, public transportation, and specialized industries, its high-precision navigation and positioning is predominantly supported through strapdown inertial navigation system/global navigation satellite system (SINS/GNSS) integrated navigation, thus ensuring safe and efficient operations. In practice, GNSS is prone to intermittent outage due to environment interference, while Non-Holonomic Constraint (NHC) can significantly improve navigation accuracy. Unfortunately, the mounting error angle and lever arm lead to NHC mismatch, and the performance of existing NHC method is also affected by the state-space model inconsistency and non-stationarity outlier noises. To solve the problems, a consistent-robust SINS/GNSS/NHC integrated navigation method is proposed, which includes two stages: off-line calibration and online navigation. In off-line calibration stage, a two-step-based estimation method is proposed to determine the mounting error angle and lever arm. The more consistent state-space model is deduced to estimate mounting error angle using the virtual dead-reckoning constructed from the posteriori straight-driving data, based on which the lever arm can be accurately estimated using posterior turn-driving data. In online navigation stage, the Lie group-based NHC model is established, and the non-stationary outlier noise is modeled as Gaussian-Student's t mixture distribution. Meanwhile, the strong tracking method is introduced to fine-calibrate the accuracy of initial parameter. Finally, the variational Bayesian is used to jointly estimate the navigation state and parameters. The simulation and car-mounted field test results illustrate that the proposed method has better estimation accuracy than existing state-of-the-art methods, enhancing the navigation and positioning capabilities of autonomous vehicles during intermittent GNSS outage.
