Abstract
The present invention provides a system, a method and a computer usable medium including a program for determining a position of a mobile vehicle. This may be accomplished by receiving a positioning request from the mobile vehicle, receiving positioning information from at least three vehicle clients sharing an antenna tower with the mobile vehicle and transmitting a signal to the three vehicles. It may also be accomplished by determining a distance between the mobile vehicle and each of the vehicle clients, receiving positioning information from each of the vehicle clients and determining mobile vehicle position based on the determined distances and the vehicle client positioning information.
