摘要

The invention relates to a method for providing location information (116) for locating a vehicle (102) by a locating device (100) arranged externally of the vehicle. In the method, vehicle sensor information (112) provided by at least one sensor (110) of the vehicle (102) is received from an interface (104) between the locating device (100) and the vehicle (102). In a further step the vehicle (102) is located in a digital map (114, 130) with use of the vehicle sensor information so as to generate at least one grid point as the location information (116) for a vehicle-side locating of the vehicle (102). Lastly, the location information (116) is sent to the interface (104) in order to provide the location information (116).
