Abstract
In a location detecting system, an on-vehicle device is provided at each vehicle a location detecting unit detecting a location of the vehicle, a communication unit, and a CPU unit controlling the location detecting unit and the communication unit. Each of the on-vehicle devices includes a GPS trajectory information processing unit acquiring GPS trajectory information of each of the vehicles, the communication unit broadcasts requests for the GPS trajectory information, the communication units of other vehicles transmit the held GPS trajectory information to the communication unit of one vehicle when a distance to the vehicle is less than a predetermined value, the GPS trajectory information processing unit passes the GPS trajectory information from the other vehicles to the location detecting unit, and the location detecting unit of the vehicle outputs the location information of the vehicle based on the GPS trajectory information.
