Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining the location of a mobile object are disclosed. The apparatus includes a GPS module unit, a mobile communication module unit, a USN module unit, and a control module unit. The GPS module unit receives a GPS signal including the coordinate information of the current location of a mobile object. The mobile communication module unit is operated when the GPS module unit has received the GPS signal, and transmits the coordinate information of the current location of the mobile object and the ID of the mobile object to a location estimation apparatus. The USN module unit is operated when the GPS module unit fails to receive the GPS signal, and broadcasts a beacon signal carrying the ID of the mobile object. The control module unit operates any one of the mobile communication module unit and the USN module unit.
