Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014008968A1] The invention relates to a method for determining a position of a vehicle (10, 10'), in which a sensor (14) is used to detect an object (16) in the surroundings of said vehicle (10, 10'). Data values which indicate the position of the object (16) are taken into account when determining a position of said vehicle (10, 10') relative to the object. In order to determine the relative position of the vehicle (10, 10'), an angle (alpha, beta) is determined respectively at two different points in time between a straight line on which the sensor (14) and the object (16) come to rest, and a reference direction (L). A length (c) of a distance covered by said vehicle (10, 10') between these two points in time is also determined. The invention additionally relates to a vehicle (10, 10') which comprises a position-determining device (12).
