Abstract
A method determines a corrected distance between a mobile transceiver fastened to a vehicle and a fixed transceiver. The method includes: identification, among a set of predetermined path segments, of the segment on which the vehicle is currently found on the basis of the last position determined for this vehicle, then selection of a correction function specifically associated with the identified segment using a table that associates, with each path segment, a respective correction function, then execution of the identified correction function to obtain a current correction coefficient for correcting a raw distance computed from transmission and reception times of the radio signals exchanged between the fixed and mobile transceivers, then correction of the last raw distance computed using the current correction coefficient to obtain the corrected distance.
