Abstract
A method and a corresponding electronic control system for ascertaining a distance traveled by a vehicle predicts with a Kalman filter a distance traveled by the vehicle using a change in angle of rotation of at least one right wheel and/or at least one left wheel of the vehicle for a specific period of time while the vehicle is traveling and an ascertained radius of the right wheel and/or ascertained circumference of the right wheel of the vehicle and/or an ascertained radius of the left wheel and/or ascertained circumference of the left wheel of the vehicle; and corrects the predicted traveled distance by a Kalman filter correction to ascertain the distance traveled by the vehicle using the predicted traveled distance and a local distance between at least two absolute positions of the vehicle recorded within the specific period of time with a time interval while the vehicle is traveling.
