Abstract
A method for determining an estimated position of a vehicle includes: receiving a measured sensor response determined with a scanning sensor of the vehicle, which is scanning an environment of the vehicle and determining the estimated position of the vehicle by generating a virtual sensor response for a possible position of the vehicle from an environmental map; and comparing the measured sensor response with the virtual sensor response for determining, how much the possible position and a real position of the vehicle at which the measured sensor response was generated, coincide.
