Abstract
The present invention is to perform position estimation in relation to a vehicle and a key module by using an ultra-wideband (UWB) and, specifically, relates to a method and system for precise position estimation for a vehicle, whereby position can be estimated, with effects minimized that result from the type of the vehicle and the quality of exterior metal of the vehicle. The method for precise position estimation for a vehicle over a UWB comprises the steps of: receiving, by an LIN transceiver, a position estimation-related signal delivered from an internal part of a vehicle, and transmitting the signal to a UWB transceiver to start the position estimation; the control unit measuring a predetermined number of times reception signal delays occurring in relation to a UWB tag, while turning on or off the switch of each of M antennas at predetermined time intervals; determining antennas at which the value of a corresponding reception signal delay measured the predetermined number of times is lower than a preset threshold; measuring the distances between the determined antennas and the distances between each of the antennas and the UWB tag; determining position angles with respect to…
