Odometry is the calculation of the change in position and the speed of an object using motion sensors. The distance traveled and the speed of a land vehicle can be determined by measuring the rotation of its wheels. An odometer has been traditionally fitted to the transmission shaft of the vehicle to measure its speed; nevertheless, most of the new vehicles have one on each wheel known as the wheel speed sensor, which is used for the antilock braking system [12]. Knowing the forward speed of the vehicle can enhance the navigation solution by either using it to reduce the inertial system model [16,19] or as a measurement update. The vehicle forward speed can be accessed in most of the vehicles through its on-board diagnostics interface. However, the speed obtained from the on-board diagnostics interface is usually provided at a low output rate and with a low resolution which causes quantization errors.
The Computer ECM

The ABS wheel speed sensor signals inform the ABS computer of wheel to surface conditions. At low speeds, or when only one wheel spins (such as pulling away with one driving wheel on ice and the other on dry tarmac), the brake is automatically applied to the spinning wheel. At higher speeds, or when both wheels spin, engine power is reduced to eliminate wheel spin. These two strategies combine to give improved traction and acceleration, and safer cornering at higher speeds.
