Abstract

A vehicle position detecting device includes an ECU that acquires a wheel speed of a wheel of a vehicle corresponding to rotation of the wheel, detects a skid of the wheel, calculates, when the skid is not detected, a vehicle body speed corresponding to the speed of a vehicle body of the vehicle based on the wheel speed, and corrects, in response to detection of the skid, the wheel speed based on correction information and calculates the vehicle body speed based on the corrected wheel speed. The ECU further calculates the position of the vehicle based on the vehicle body speed depending on the presence of the skid.
