SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING A MODEL OF A VEHICLE THAT IS TO BE USED BY A POSITIONING SYSTEM

Abstract:

System includes one or more processors configured to receive location data from a device communication unit and from at least a first communication unit and a second communication unit that are positioned relative to a vehicle. The location data includes a device spatial location of the device communication unit, a first spatial location of the first communication unit, and a second spatial location of the second communication unit. The one or more processors are further configured to determine a vehicle spatial location of a designated point of the vehicle. The one or more processors are further configured to generate a virtual model. The virtual model, when used by a positioning system to locate the vehicle, indicates the vehicle spatial location relative to an estimated location of the vehicle.
