A METHOD FOR VALIDATING AN INITIAL POSITION FOR POSITIONING A VEHICLE

A method for handling a localization system (10) in a vehicle (1) is provided. The method comprises, when initializing the localization system (10), obtaining at least one current parameter, at least one stored parameter, and a reference position of the vehicle (1). The at least one current parameter is indicative of a current position state of the vehicle (1). The at least one stored parameter is indicative of a position state of the vehicle (1) before a shutdown of the localization system (10). The reference position is a position of the vehicle (1) before the shutdown of the localization system (10). The method further comprises determining (202) whether or not the vehicle (1) has moved since the shutdown of the localization system (10) by using the current position state and the stored position state of the vehicle (1). The method further comprises, when determining that the vehicle (1) has not moved since the shutdown of the localization system (10), configuring (203) the localization system (10) using the reference position.
