ABSTRACT:
A positioning system accurately estimates transmission times of signals from a signal transmitter and measures a position of a receiver on the basis of the transmission times. The receiver10comprises a velocity-vector calculating unit12calculating velocity vectors of GPS satellites20on the basis of signals from the GPS satellite; a satellite selecting unit13generating a combination of velocity vectors from the calculated velocity vectors and selecting a combination of GPS satellites from the GPS satellites on the basis of the combination of velocity vectors; a position calculating unit15calculating positions of the receiver10at a plurality of times, the times being signal transmission times, on the basis of signals from the selected GPS satellites; and a position-accuracy evaluating unit17evaluating the accuracy of the calculated positions of the receiver10, setting one time selected from the plurality of times corresponding to the plurality of positions as a transmission time, and setting the position of the receiver10corresponding to the transmission time as an estimated position.
