Claim 0:
1. A method for determining a position of a non-motorized road user carrying a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
ascertaining a first geodetic position of the non-motorized road user using a GPS system of the mobile terminal of the non-motorized road user,
transmitting the first geodetic position to a traffic device, the traffic device comprising at least one of a stationary infrastructure device, a roadside unit, and a motor vehicle,
using at least one sensor of the traffic device to ascertain a second geodetic position of the non-motorized road user relative to a position of the traffic device,
transmitting deviation information from the traffic device to the mobile terminal, the deviation information comprising at least one of (1) the second geodetic position and (2) a deviation between the first geodetic position and the second geodetic position,
correcting, at the mobile terminal, the first geodetic position using the deviation information, such that the corrected first geodetic position is based on a weighted combination of the first geodetic position and the deviation information, and
transmitting, in subsequent cycles, the corrected first geodetic position to the traffic device or other nearby motor vehicles.
