Abstract
A position calculating method performed by a position calculating device having a sensor unit carried by or mounted on a mobile body and moving with the mobile body, includes: calculating the position of the mobile body; setting a detection value agreement range of the sensor unit for each of the possibility of moving, possibility of uncertainty, and possibility of stopping of the mobile body, and setting the detection value agreement range of the possibility of moving as the widest range to establish a membership function; determining whether the mobile body is in the stopping condition by predetermined fuzzy inference calculation using the membership function; changing an error parameter used for predetermined Kalman filter process to correct the calculated position by the Kalman filter process according to whether the stopping condition of the mobile body is determined or not; and correcting the calculated position by the Kalman filter process.
