Abstract
To provide a positioning apparatus which can reduce the error of the positioning information of the positioning satellite, by using either appropriate one of the positioning reinforcement information by the ground channel or the positioning reinforcement information by the satellite channel, according to execution state of the automatic driving. A positioning apparatus receives positioning information from positioning satellites; calculates a first own position based on the positioning information and the positioning reinforcement information of the ground base station; calculates a second own position based on the positioning information and the positioning reinforcement information of the satellite; determines either the first own position or the second own position to be used, based on whether or not the driving mode is the automatic driving mode; and outputs the first own position or the second own position determined to be used, as a final own position.
