Method for detecting the position of a moving body

摘要

A method is provided for detecting the position of a moving body in which the position of a moving body such as a vehicle can be detected with a high degree of precision. It is possible to perform at least data communication using radio waves between radio base stations (3) and a vehicle (1) capable of movement. Precise positions are stored in advance in the radio base stations (3) and radio wave clocks (10) that keep a common time are provided in the radio base stations (3). The radio base stations (3) transmit radio waves containing this time information. The vehicle (1) receives these radio waves and determines the difference between the received time information and a clock (15) provided in the vehicle (1) in order to detect the current position of the vehicle (1) by calculating the distances between the vehicle (1) and each of the radio base stations (3). <IMAGE>
