Abstract
A method for determining a vehicle position of a vehicle to be located within a defined cruising range in a mapped environment is disclosed, wherein the vehicle position is determined by evaluating the position data of at least one predetermined component of the vehicle, and the position data are made available particularly by way of a plurality of position detecting sensors, which are fixedly arranged within the mapped environment.
Claims9
A method for determining a position of a vehicle within a predetermined driving area in a mapped environment, comprising:
- identifying the vehicle to the mapped environment;
- obtaining positional data of at least one predetermined component of the vehicle with a sensor device fixedly arranged in the mapped environment;
- determining the position of the vehicle by analyzing the positional data;
- and
- navigating the vehicle through the mapped environment in a piloted manner.
A device for determining a position of a vehicle within a predetermined driving area of a mapped environment, comprising:
- means for identifying the vehicle to the mapped environment;
- a sensor device fixedly arranged in the mapped environment and configured for providing positional data of at least one predetermined component of the vehicle;
- and
- an analysis device for determining the vehicle position from the positional data,
- wherein the vehicle is configured for being navigated through the mapped environment in a piloted manner.
