- vehicle fixed position FZFP is with an image acquisition unit BAE for capturing images of the position determination system PBS from the vehicle perspective, which are essentially the Perspective of the vehicle driver FZF ent speaks of a marking expected route area - ie a region of the route FST in which a marking MK spaced apart from the vehicle fixed position FZFP is at a marking position MKP, e.g. a signal sign SZ can be at a signal sign position SZP, is expected - a route image SB is acquired.
- satellite-based position determination methods such as GPS, GALILEO or GLONASS
- the image acquisition unit BAE of the position determination system PBS can be any device for acquiring and / or recording single or multiple images (videos), e.g. an image or video camera, a laser sensor, a thermal imaging camera, an infrared camera or a radar device.
- videos e.g. an image or video camera, a laser sensor, a thermal imaging camera, an infrared camera or a radar device.
- FIG. 2 shows a basic structure of the position determination system PBS for the vehicle and according to FIG Driving-based position determination of the vehicle position FZP.
- the position determination system PBS contains, in addition to the image acquisition unit BAE already mentioned in connection with the description of FIG. 1 for capturing images, a position acquisition unit PAE for acquiring fixed vehicle positions and a control unit STE.
- the position acquisition unit PAE is the unit of the position determination system PBS, which uses the GPS, GALILEO and GLONASS coordinates to determine the fixed vehicle position FZFP.
- the control unit STE in turn contains a computer program product CPP for position determination, which one does not
- volatile, readable memory SP in which processor-readable control program commands of a program module PGM performing the position determination are stored, and a processor PZ connected to the memory SP, which executes the control program commands of the program module PGM for position determination.
- the image acquisition unit BAE contains a correction component KOK, which includes weather and brightness data in the evaluation of the captured image material, a focal length change component BVK which, depending on the distance to the marking MK, SZ, is the correct one Selects the recording angle so as to optimally support the multiple evaluation of the marking MK, SZ, and a lighting component BLK, which is preferably designed as a headlight and which works inside or outside the human-visible area.
- KOK which includes weather and brightness data in the evaluation of the captured image material
- BVK focal length change component
- BVK which, depending on the distance to the marking MK, SZ, is the correct one Selects the recording angle so as to optimally support the multiple evaluation of the marking MK, SZ
- a lighting component BLK which is preferably designed as a headlight and which works inside or outside the human-visible area.
- the image acquisition unit BAE is also designed to be pivotable in an advantageous manner in order to be able to compensate for the angle of the image acquisition unit BAE to the marking MK, SZ.
- two or more of these image acquisition units BAE work in parallel in order to increase the confidence of the data obtained.
- the position acquisition unit PAE, the image acquisition unit BAE and the computer program product CPP Positionsbe ⁇ humor containing control unit STE form a common functional unit to the relative local position determination of the driving generating FZP.
- This functional unit is det such as who in the image acquisition unit BAE according to the depicting ⁇ lung in FIGURE 1, and as in the description of he already imagines to the to the mark position MKP, SZP the Markie tion MK, SZ spaced vehicle-fixed position FZFP, from the vehicle perspective, the route image SB is acquired from the marking ⁇ expected route area.
- the functional unit is designed such that in the control unit STE or in the processor PZ of the computer program product CPP

- the expert-marked image material is used to determine the relevant image section as precisely as possible and to be able to differentiate between relevant and irrelevant markings (e.g. a secondary route).
- expert markings can also be replaced by standard information, e.g. Standard information on a so-called pre-marking.
- any distortions of the route image SB if the stored reference route images RSB were not recorded at exactly the same point as the route image SB recorded during ferry operation, are detected by positions immediately considered.
- the control unit STE or the processor PZ accesses the first database DB1 and / or the second database DB2.
- the first database DB1 and / or the second database DB2 are Either part of the position determination system PBS (option "A” for DB1 or option “C” for DB2) or assigned to the position determination system PBS for these accesses (option "B” for DB1 or option “D” for DB2).
- the first database DB1 contains the reference route images RSB including any calibration images, the route image metadata SBMD, such as With regard to the route images, the exact position of their recording including information about the route or the track, possibly the angle of the recording and the MKD marking data including metadata such as the type of marking or signal character. These data can preferably be recorded as follows:
