A vehicle's position can be estimated with array receiving signal data without the help of satellite navigation. However, traditional array self-position determination methods are faced with the risk of failure under multipath environments. To deal with this problem, an array signal subspace fitting method is proposed for suppressing the multipath effect. Firstly, all signal incidence angles are estimated with enhanced spatial smoothing and root multiple signal classification (Root-MUSIC). Then, non-line-of-sight (NLOS) components are distinguished from multipath signals using a K-means clustering algorithm. Finally, the signal subspace fitting (SSF) function with a P matrix is established to reduce the NLOS components in multipath signals. Meanwhile, based on the initial clustering estimation, the search area can be significantly reduced, which can lead to less computational complexity. Compared with the C-matrix, oblique projection, initial signal fitting (ISF), multiple signal classification (MUSIC) and signal subspace fitting (SSF), the simulated experiments indicate that the proposed method has better NLOS component suppression performance, less computational complexity and more accurate positioning precision. A numerical analysis shows that the complexity of the proposed method has been reduced by at least 7.64dB. A cumulative distribution function (CDF) analysis demonstrates that the estimation accuracy of the proposed method is increased by 3.10dB compared with the clustering algorithm and 11.77dB compared with MUSIC, ISF and SSF under multipath environments.
