Abstract

The invention relates to a method (1) for routing a motor vehicle. A route from a start destination to an end destination is planned (2); the route started (3); the motor vehicle is guided from the starting destination to the final destination according to the planned route (4); reaches the final destination (5) and ends the route (10). According to the invention after reaching the final destination (5) and before completing the route (10) the motor vehicle for parking space search inactive or actively continued (6a, 6b).

Description

The invention relates to a method for routing a motor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1.

Methods for routing a motor vehicle are already known from the prior art. In this case, a route is planned in a navigation system, which leads a motor vehicle from a start destination to an end destination. Different parameters can be taken into account, such as the avoidance of federal roads or highways, the traffic jam situation and others. Once the route is started, the motor vehicle is guided from the start destination to the final destination after the planned route. As soon as the motor vehicle reaches the final destination, the route is ended.

After reaching the final destination, however, a parking space must be searched more often. However, searching for a parking space - especially in a large city or in an old town - may lead to the procedure and unwanted removal of the final destination in an unknown environment. Out DE 11 2009 000 141 T5 In order to solve said problem, a method is known which monitors the current parking situation and guides the motor vehicle to a parking space in the vicinity of the final destination. However, as such monitoring services are still under development, there is currently no viable solution to the problem.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide a method in which the disadvantages mentioned are overcome.

This object is achieved by the subject of independent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

The present invention is based on the general idea of avoiding a method and unwanted removal from a final destination when searching for a parking space. For this purpose, in a method for route guidance of a motor vehicle, a route from a start destination to the final destination is first planned and the route is started. The motor vehicle is then guided from the start destination to the final destination after the planned route. Then the final destination is reached and the route is ended. According to the invention after reaching the final destination and before the end of the route, the motor vehicle for parking searches active or inactive continues.

By continuing the motor vehicle after reaching the final destination, the parking search can be performed more easily. In particular, this can avoid a method and undesired removal from the end goal. Thus, for example, one-way streets are displayed in the route, which can lead the motor vehicle undesirably from the final destination. In addition, parking spaces can be shown in the route to which the motor vehicle can be actively guided.

Advantageously, it is provided that in the case of inactive continuation, the motor vehicle is continued to the final destination with or without a voice output. Thus, for example, when searching for parking space, a current return route to the final destination can be calculated, so that during the parking space search, the motor vehicle can be guided back to the final destination at any desired time. The inactive advancement of the motor vehicle may further include displaying a nearest parking lot or even a distance to the final destination. Thus, when searching for parking, the motor vehicle may remain close to the final destination and avoid a method and unwanted removal of the motor vehicle from the final destination. The continuation of the motor vehicle can be supported by the voice output or done without the voice output.

Alternatively, it is provided that during the active advancement of the motor vehicle a parking space search pattern is planned and the motor vehicle is guided according to the planned parking space search pattern. The parking search pattern may include, for example, guiding the motor vehicle to nearest parking lots around the final destination. Furthermore, it can be planned in the parking space search pattern that the motor vehicle is guided to toll-free parking spaces and only then to parking spaces subject to charge. In this way, parking search can be carried out particularly easily and efficiently, and a method and unwanted removal from the final destination can be avoided.

Advantageously, it is provided that a distance of the motor vehicle to the final destination is continuously increased in the parking space search pattern. Thus, for example, the motor vehicle can first be guided through the nearest and then through the further roads around the final destination. Likewise, the motor vehicle can also be routed first to the nearest and then to the further parking lots. Preferably, the motor vehicle is guided spirally around the final destination after the parking space search pattern in order to be able to carry out the parking space search particularly efficiently.

Alternatively or additionally, it is provided that in the parking space search pattern, the motor vehicle is preferably guided through secondary roads. Experience exists in the side streets better parking, so that facilitates parking in this way and the route guidance of the motor vehicle can be improved.

Overall, by the method according to the invention, the parking space search after reaching the final destination can be supported actively or inactive, and a method as well as an undesired removal from the final destination can be advantageously avoided.

Other important features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims, from the drawing and from the associated description of the figures with reference to the drawing.

It is understood that the features mentioned above and those yet to be explained below can be used not only in the particular combination given, but also in other combinations or in isolation, without departing from the scope of the present invention.

Preferred embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the drawings and will be explained in more detail in the following description.

The only 1 shows a method according to the invention 1 , In the process 1 for routing a motor vehicle is first planning 2 a route from a start destination to an end destination. After that, a start 3 the route and a lead 4 of the motor vehicle from the start destination to the final destination after the planned route. After reaching 5 the final destination will be an inactive continuation 6a with or without a voice output or an active resume 6b carried out of the motor vehicle. In this embodiment, an active continuing 6b performed and the inactive Continue 6a is for this reason shown with a broken line. When actively continuing 6b of the motor vehicle is doing a plan 7 the parking search pattern and then a guide 8th of the motor vehicle made according to the parking space search pattern. Preferably, after the parking space search pattern, a distance of the motor vehicle to the end destination is continuously increased, and the motor vehicle is preferably guided spirally through secondary roads. After quitting 9 the parking search will be a quit 10 the route. Ending the parking search 9 as well as the termination 10 The route can be enforced both automatically and by a user after a successfully completed Parkplatzsuchen.

Overall, by the method according to the invention 1 the parking search after reaching the final destination is actively or inactive supported and a method and an undesirable removal of the final destination can be advantageously avoided.
