Abstract
External position data, which are transmitted to the vehicle by infrastructural devices or adjacent vehicles, are used for validating or improving the measured vehicle position. As well, these data can be used for calculating the position of the vehicle itself without a satellite navigation receiver having to be provided for this purpose in the vehicle. The position determination can be improved further via a corresponding statistical evaluation.
