METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING THE POSITION OF A TRACK-BOUND VEHICLE

The invention relates to a method for determining the position of a track-bound vehicle (1), in which several first distance values (X) for different distances (11) between respectively two route points (A, B, C, D) on a travel route (2) of the vehicle (1) are determined in a first manner, in which several second distance values (Y) for the different distances (11) between the respectively two route points (A, B, C, D) are determined in a second manner different from the first, in which several distance value pairs are formed from respectively the first distance value (X) and the second distance value (Y) for the distance between the same two route points (A, B, C, D), in which at least one common correction value (K) is determined for the several distance value pairs, for which the difference across the several distance value pairs is minimal, and in which the determined correction value (K) is used in the position determination of the vehicle (1). The invention has the advantage that more precise position determination is made possible. The invention also relates to a device for position determination for a track-bound vehicle.
