Abstract

Method for locating a vehicle (1), preferably a crawler vehicle (1) and in particular a snow grooming vehicle, within a working region (11), the working region (11) comprising at least one reference element (12), the method comprising the steps of: acquiring a reference model (MR) of the working region (11) comprising reference data (DR) relating to the at least one reference element (12); detecting, via at least one sensor (23) of the vehicle (1), data (DD) relating to an area (31) of the working region (11) surrounding the vehicle (1); comparing the data (DD) detected by the at least one sensor (23) with the reference data (DR), to verify whether at least a part of the data (DD) detected by the at least one sensor (23) corresponds to the reference data (DR); and determining a position (PV) of the vehicle (1) within the working region (11) on the basis of the comparison between the data (DD) detected by the at least one sensor (23) and the reference data (DR).
