Claim 8:
9. A method for determining a location of a vehicle, the method comprising:
determining an indicated distance between a first detector of the vehicle and a source based on a signal originating at the source and detected by the first detector,
determining a second distance between the source and a second detector based on a signal originating at the source and detected by the second detector,
determining whether a portion of the vehicle obstructs a direct signal path between the source and the second detector based on a determined position of the second detector relative to the vehicle and a determined position of the vehicle relative to the source, and
determining a reliability of the indicated distance for determining the location of the vehicle by determining whether the indicated distance corresponds to a direct signal path between the first detector and the source based on a difference between the indicated distance and the second distance and based on whether the portion of the vehicle obstructs the direct signal path between the source and the second detector.
