Abstract: A device for determining position information includes a detector that is configured to detect a position of the device and a processor that is configured to determine the position information based on a primary position indication from the detector and a secondary position indication from a second detector that is distinct from the detector. The processor determines the position information by aligning the primary position indication with the secondary position indication based on identifying a pattern of the primary position indication that corresponds with a pattern of the secondary position indication.

Abstract: An illustrative example embodiment of a method of processing information regarding movement of a first vehicle based on information regarding movement of at least one second vehicle includes: receiving a communication from the second vehicle that includes information regarding movement of the second vehicle, determining that the movement of the second vehicle corresponds to movement of the first vehicle, identifying at least one feature of the movement of the second vehicle that indicates an environmental condition that affects the movement of the second vehicle, identifying a sensor indication of movement of the first vehicle that corresponds to the feature of the movement of the second vehicle, and excluding the identified sensor indication from information used to determine movement of the first vehicle.

Abstract: A system for determining vehicle location information includes a receiver supported on a first vehicle for receiving a communication from a second vehicle and a signal from each of a plurality of satellites. A detector is configured to detect a positional relationship between the first vehicle and the second vehicle. A processor is configured to determine a location of the first vehicle from received satellite signals, a location of the second vehicle based on the communication received from the second vehicle, a corrected location of the first vehicle based on the location of the second vehicle and the positional relationship between the vehicles, and a corrective mapping of a plurality of sections of a field of view of the receiver. Each section has ad correction factor for correcting a subsequently determined location of the first vehicle based on satellite signals received from satellites appearing in the respective sections.
