Abstract

A vehicle positioning apparatus and method are provided that are capable of more accurately measuring the position of a traveling vehicle without interoperating with a DGPS. The method includes calculating a position of the traveling vehicle based on coordinates of the respective GPS satellites shared by a surrounding vehicle and the traveling vehicle. In addition, a position coordinate is calculated of the surrounding vehicle measured by the reference of the traveling vehicle.
