A method for determining a location of a vehicle driving on a track is provided, the method comprising the step of obtaining a real-time image from an imaging device (100) located on the vehicle and deriving information from the obtained real-time image. The derived information is compared with a database comprising derived information from a plurality of images, each of the plurality of images being associated with a specific track segment. The closest match is then determined between a sequence of the real-time images to a sequence of the plurality of images, and the location of the vehicle on a track segment is identified based on the specific track segment associated with the closest matched sequence of images. The track segments are associated with a specific track amongst a set of parallel or closely spaced tracks.
