Method for locating a vehicle, said method comprising the following steps: a) triggering, at an instant tu j, an exchange of radio signals between a mobile transceiver fixed to the vehicle and a fixed transceiver located along a path of the vehicle; then b) once this exchange of radio signals is complete, an electronic computer computing a rough distance only from the transmission and reception instants of the radio signals exchanged during this exchange; (c) the electronic computer locating the vehicle, with this locating comprising: - constructing an estimated position of the vehicle at an instant t m from a measurement carried out using a measurement unit independent and separate from the fixed and mobile transceivers and without using the computed rough distance, with the instant t m being subsequent to the instant tu j; then - correcting the position of the vehicle as a function of a difference between: - a distance between the fixed and mobile transceivers computed from the transmission or reception instants of the radio signals exchanged during the exchange triggered at the instant tu j; and - the distance between the estimated position of the vehicle at the instant t m and the position of the fixed transceiver, wherein the method comprises a step of correcting the rough distance computed during step b) in order to obtain a corrected distance, then, during step c), it is this corrected distance that is used to correct the position of the vehicle, with this step of correcting the rough distance comprising: - computing an apparent movement velocity of the vehicle towards the fixed transceiver, with the amplitude of this apparent velocity being equal to the norm of the orthogonal projection of a velocity of the vehicle between the instants tu j and t m onto an axis that passes through the geometric centre of the antennae of the mobile and fixed transceivers; then - adding a first corrective term δd 0 to the computed rough distance, which first corrective term is computed using the following relation: δd 0 = v a0.DT0, where: - DT0 is equal to the elapsed time between the instants tu j and t m; - v a0 is the computed apparent velocity; and - the "." symbol denotes arithmetic multiplication. a) triggering, at an instant tu j, an exchange of radio signals between a mobile transceiver fixed to the vehicle and a fixed transceiver located along a path of the vehicle;
