  • Patent number: 9864067
    Abstract: Method for determining a current position (5) of a motor vehicle (6) in a geodetic coordinate system from a time series of first geodetic position data (2) recorded particularly by a position sensor (8) associated with a global navigation satellite system, and proper motion data (3) recorded by at least one proper motion sensor (9), wherein the position is determined by applying a transformation into the geodetic coordinate system to the displacement vector of the motor vehicle (6), which is derived from the most current proper motion data (3) starting from a reference time to which the transformation relates, wherein the transformation is determined in the context of a regression analysis as optimal mapping of a progression of displacement vectors determined over a defined time period onto a progression of the position data (2) determined for the same time period.

  • Patent number: 8751157
    Abstract: A method determines the position of a vehicle on a carriageway, in which method data of a satellite signal sensor, of a digital map, of a line detection sensor and of a vehicle movement dynamic sensor and/or of a surroundings sensor are combined in such a way that the position of the vehicle on the carriageway is determined with at least lane-specific accuracy. In particular, the method can also be used to determine the number of lanes. A device determines the position of the vehicle on a carriageway, and a motor vehicle has such a device.
