Whie i a acua IS, he agorih suiabe for he IS copuer shoud be desiged o achieve he sae uerica resus by digia iegraio operaig a a specified repeiio rae as he coiuous iegraio of he differeia equaios. Sice he basic srapdow IS cocep cae io beig, he researchers have aiy focused o he desig of agorih for he aiude iegraio, which is because ha eeig specified aguar rae sesor accuracy requirees uder high dyaic aguar rae ipus is geeray ore difficu o achieve (Savage P.G. ), whe he srapdow aguar sesors direcy are exposed o he high dyaics of he vehice. Due o he capabiiies ad iiaios of he copuer echoogy, he srapdow IS uses aiude agorih based o a wo-speed approach.

Whie he ie of wo speed approach was o overcoe he hroughpu iiaio of eary copuer echoogy, ha iiaio is rapidy becoig isigifica wih coiuousy rapid advaces i oder high speed copuer echoogy. This provides he oives o desig a siper sige speed agorih srucure i which a copuaios are execued a a repeiio rae ha is sufficiey high o accuraey accou for high frequecy aguar rae ad acceeraio recificaio effecs.
