Method for secure determination of an object location, preferably a vehicle moving along a known course
First Claim
1. A method of determining the location or the position of an object moving along a known course comprising:
- securely mapping said known course; and
performing an elementary measurement involving at least one satellite, wherein the elementary measurement comprises determining an individual domain along said course between two mileage points, said domain depending on a standard deviation of timing measurement errors of said elementary measurement, the speed of light, a coefficient linked with coordinates of said satellite and said course, and a weighting factor defining an error distribution for any measurement recording, so that a probability of non-presence of the object in said individual domain is predefined.

Abstract
A device for determining the location or the position of an object moving along a known course includes equipment associated with the object. The equipment includes at least one central computer, at least one receiver/decoder of signals originating from one or more satellites, a radio interface and a database having a mapping of the course of the object. The device includes further central equipment including a central computer, one or more radio interfaces, a bus system, a database including the mapping of the course, an application for managing modifications of the mapping and at least one console, and moving-object/central-equipment and man/moving-object interface elements.
