  text: In this paper we present a novel vehicle tracking algorithm, which is based
    on multi-level sensor fusion of GPS (global positioning system) with Inertial
    Measurement Unit sensor data. It is shown that the robustness of the system to
    temporary dropouts of the GPS signal, which may occur due to limited visibility
    of satellites in narrow street canyons or tunnels, is greatly improved by sensor
    fusion. We further demonstrate how the observation and state noise covariances
    of the employed Kalman filters can be estimated alongside the filtering by an
    application of the Expectation-Maximization algorithm. The proposed time-variant
    multi-level Kalman filter is shown to outperform an Interacting Multiple Model
    approach while at the same time being computationally less demanding.
