IEEE 528-2019: IEEE Standard for Inertial Sensor Terminology

web

This is a hardware/instrumentation standard for inertial sensors with no direct relevance to AI safety; the current tags appear to be incorrectly assigned and this resource has minimal applicability to the AI safety knowledge base.

Summary

IEEE 528-2019 is an active standard providing standardized terms and definitions for inertial sensors, prioritizing usage as understood by the inertial sensor community. It covers terminology relevant to gyroscopes, accelerometers, and related inertial navigation technologies, superseding the previous 2001 version.

Key Points

  • Defines standardized terminology for inertial sensors including gyroscopes and accelerometers, approved by IEEE SA in 2019.
  • Prioritizes domain-specific usage by the inertial sensor community over general technical definitions.
  • Supersedes IEEE 528-2001, representing an updated consensus on inertial sensor terminology.
  • Developed by the AES/GA Gyro Accelerometer Panel under the IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society.
  • Related working group also covers standards for Coriolis vibratory gyros and precision centrifuge testing of accelerometers.

 Terms and definitions relating to inertial sensors are presented in this standard. Usage as understood by the inertial sensor community is given preference over general technical usage of the terms herein. The criterion for inclusion of a term and its definition in this standard is usefulness as related to inertial sensor technology.

 Standard for Specifying and Testing Coriolis Vibratory Gyros

 This standard defines requirements and test procedures for a single-axis Coriolis vibratory gyro (CVG) for use as a sensor in attitude control systems, angular displacement measuring systems, and angular rate measuring systems. Informative annexes cover CVG design features and theoretical principles of operation.

 Recommended Practice for Precision Centrifuge Testing of Linear Accelerometers

 This recommended practice describes the conduct and analysis of precision tests for linear accelerometers using centrifuge techniques. The term “precision,” in this context, refers to tests that are conducted to evaluate accelerometer parameters, as opposed to tests conducted to establish environmental survivability only. Evaluation may take the form of determining the coefficients of the accelerometer's model equation, except for bias and scale factor, which are most accurately determined by static multiposition tests. Alternatively, evaluation may establish only that the accelerometer output complies with specific error limit criteria.
