Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A vehicle guidance apparatus (10) for use with a mobile transmitter/receiver located on the vehicle, which transmitter/receiver co-operates with a plurality of fixed transmitter/receivers located at spaced apart locations. The mobile transmitter/receiver determines the coordinates of the current location of the vehicle and the guidance apparatus comprises a display unit (18) and various processing means. The processing means includes means for receiving the coordinates of thetarget destination and means for receiving automatically from the mobile transmitter/receiver the coordinates of the current location of the vehicle. The processing means also includes display generation means, for generating on the display unit (18) a display of the relative directional displacement between thevehicle and the destination.
Refer to Figure 1.

Claims (10)
1. Vehicle guidance apparatus for use with a mobile transmitter/receiver located on the vehicle which transmitter/receiver co-operates with a plurality of fixed transceivers located at spaced apart locations, so as to determine the coordinates of the current location of the vehicle, the guidance apparatus comprising:-- a display unit, - means for receiving the coordinates of a target destination, - means for receiving automatically from the mobile transmitter/receiver the coordinates of the current location of the vehicle, and - display generation means for generating on the display unit a display of the relative directional displacement between the vehicle and the destination.
2. A vehicle guidance apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein:-- the display generation means generates a display comprising a direction indicator which indicates the direction in which the vehicle should proceed in order to reach the destination.
3. A vehicle guidance apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein:-- the display generation means generates a display comprising an indicator for the destination and an indicator for the current location of the vehicle.
4. A vehicle guidance apparatus as claimed in claim 3 wherein:-- the generated display includes a residual trace of the course of movement of the vehicle.
5. A vehicle guidance apparatus in claim 3 wherein:-- the generated display includes a map of the area in which the destination and the current location of the vehicle are situated.
6. A vehicle guidance apparatus as claimed in claim 5 wherein:-- the display generation means includes a plug-in cartridge which provides the data for generation of the map.
7. A vehicle guidance apparatus as claimed in claim 3 wherein:-- the said indicators indicate the actual relative displacement of the destination and current location of the vehicle and the guidance apparatus includes scale changing means providing the facility to increase or decrease the scale ofrepresentation of the said actual relative displacement.
8. A vehicle guidance apparatus as claimed in claim 7 wherein:-- the scale changing means operates automatically to increase the scale when the displacement between the destination and the current location of the vehicle reaches a preset value.
9. A vehicle guidance apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein:-- the guidance apparatus includes means for receiving traffic information broadcast by a fixed transmitter/receiver and the display generation means generates a display incorporating the said traffic information.
10. A vehicle guidance apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein the display generation means generates a display having two portions, one containing a display in accordance with claim 2 and the other containing a display in accordance with claim 3.
