Abstract

A position and time calculator, based on a navigation satellite signal, calculates a position of a navigation satellite and a position and a time where an antenna receives the navigation satellite signal. An upper limit error determiner evaluates an upper limit of error caused in positioning a reception position of the antenna based on an amount obtained by multiplying a difference between the time calculated based on the navigation satellite signal and the time measured by a time measurer by a coefficient determined based on arrangement of navigation satellites, and information on the position on the track stored in a memory. A position determiner corrects the moved distance measured by the speed measurer based on the evaluation of the upper limit of error in positioning, and determines the position of the antenna.
