Abstract
A method and an apparatus establish a distance as well as to a vehicle. In the method for establishing a distance between a vehicle and an infrastructure device, at least two vehicle-mounted reception devices receive a signal transmitted by the infrastructure device. Each of the vehicle-mounted reception devices contains at least two antenna elements. For each reception device, a reception device-specific distance between the vehicle and the infrastructure device is established in accordance with the antenna signals generated by the antenna elements, and the shortest of all the reception device-specific distances is established as the distance.
