Abstract
In the case of a position determination method, during traversal of a curve (K) the centroid (C ) of the latter is determined from measured values of a direction sensor. The centroid (C ) of the curve (K) of a digitized road ( ) is determined from the alignment of road segments (S) of the digitized road which correspond to positions (P ) determined by dead reckoning. The positions determined by dead reckoning are corrected on the basis of the difference between the determined curve centroids (C ; C ).
