  • Patent number: 10883840
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and a method for localizing a vehicle. A vehicle terminal acquires location information of a vehicle and transmits the acquired location information to the mobile terminal, then determines whether the vehicle enters a poor reception quality zone where a reception of a satellite signal is poor. Then, the vehicle terminal, when the vehicle enters the poor reception quality zone, receives map information of the poor reception quality zone transmitted from the mobile terminal, and corrects a current location of the vehicle using the map information of the poor reception quality zone.
