Abstract

The invention relates to a method, to a device, and to a system for determining a position of a vehicle. The method comprises the method steps: Measuring (S) at least one first magnetic field strength of a magnetic field at one each first position (A-i) by means of a first magnetic field sensor () arranged on a vehicle (); measuring (S) at least one second magnetic field strength of the magnetic field at one each second position (B-i) by means of a second magnetic field sensor () arranged on the vehicle () at a distance from the first magnetic field sensor (); determining (S) position data of the vehicle () at least by comparing data, which are based on the measured first and second magnetic field strengths, to a predetermined magnetic field data of the magnetic field; and outputting (S) a signal based on said position data.
