Abstract

A method for determining the position of a vehicle involves determining a plurality of position hypotheses by comparing landmark objects detected by a sensor system of the vehicle with landmark objects stored in a map, in particular in a map section. By analyzing all position hypotheses and filtering out all false information using probabilistic analysis, a position hypothesis with an integrity value is determined. A position hypothesis with a position accuracy sufficient in a predetermined way for determining the position of the vehicle is determined by filtering according to predetermined limit values.
