Abstract
A position determination apparatus for a vehicle may include: a first sensing unit configured to sense driving state information of the vehicle; a GNSS module configured to acquire position data of the vehicle; a first core unit configured to generate a first driving trajectory of the vehicle based on the driving state information sensed by the first sensing unit, and estimate the current position of the vehicle based on the generated first driving trajectory; a second sensing unit configured to detect driving environment information of the vehicle; and a second core unit configured to generate a second driving trajectory of the vehicle, generate map matching data by performing map matching on the driving environment information sensed through the second sensing unit, and generate fused position determination information by fusing the position data received from the GNSS module, the second driving trajectory and the map matching data.
