Abstract
A radio transmitter in a first radio communication device transmits first position information and first time information to a radio receiver of a vehicle. Also, a radio transmitter in a second radio communication device transmits second position information and second time information to the radio receiver. When the radio receiver of the vehicle receives the respective pieces of information, a position specification processing unit specifies the position of the vehicle based on the received pieces of information. Thus, the position of the vehicle can be specified with high accuracy even when signals from GNSS satellites cannot be received.
