1. A method for validating a current position of a first vehicle, the method comprising:
receiving, at the vehicle monitoring device, a position data signal from the first vehicle, the position data signal providing the current position of the first vehicle;
detecting the first vehicle by a source distinct from the first vehicle;
in response to the first vehicle being detected by the source distinct from the first vehicle, receiving, at the vehicle monitoring device, a position validation data signal associated with the first vehicle from the source distinct from the first vehicle, the position validation data signal being generated by the source distinct from the first vehicle, wherein the position validation data signal provides information regarding the position of the first vehicle as obtained by the source distinct from the first vehicle and not obtained from the first vehicle; and
validating, by the vehicle monitoring device, the current position of the first vehicle provided by the position data signal against the position validation data signal to determine an accuracy value for the current position.
