A method and system for guiding a self-driving vehicle. The vehicle comprises an ultrasound-based proximity sensing system. The method comprises determining a location and an orientation of the vehicle in a predetermined coordinate system; in the vehicle, receiving a predetermined route from the traffic control unit; by a vehicle control unit, controlling the vehicle to travel along the predetermined route while estimating a vehicle travel path; receiving an ultrasound signal from a beacon having a known location in the predetermined coordinate system, wherein the ultrasound signal transmitted by the beacon uniquely identifies the beacon location; determining a relative position of the vehicle in relation to the beacon by means of ultrasound signals transmitted between the beacon and the vehicle; and determining a location of the vehicle in the predetermined coordinate system based on the determined relative position of the vehicle and the known location of the beacon.
