Abstract

A method for calibrating at least one position sensor in a vehicle, comprising: saving a map in the vehicle with at least one item of virtual location information from the environment of a predefined calibration route, moving the vehicle on the predefined calibration route, detecting at least one item of actual location information via the at least one position sensor while the vehicle moves on the predefined calibration route, carrying out a comparison between the at least one item of virtual location information and the at least one item of actual location information, calculating a map-based movement of the vehicle within the saved map based on the comparison, calculating an odometry-based movement of the vehicle, and calibrating the at least one position sensor based on a comparison between the map-based movement and the odometry-based movement.
