A method for determining the position of a vehicle is disclosed. GNSS signals from a global satellite navigation system are received by a receiving device. A vehicle velocity is detected; and a check is carried out as to whether the detected vehicle velocity falls below or exceeds a threshold value. After the vehicle velocity falls below the threshold value, the position of the vehicle is determined on the basis of a first calculation method. After the vehicle velocity exceeds the threshold value, the position of the vehicle is determined on the basis of a second calculation method. Both calculation methods include filtering the GNSS signals by a fusion algorithm. The calculation methods differing by input variables of the fusion algorithm.
