Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for taking additional Traffic information for the function of a one internal digital road map containing vehicle-fixed Guidance device of a motor vehicle by handover from the starting point and destination to a central computer and Transfer one in the central computer taking into account the supplementary traffic information created route planning on the vehicle-fixed route guidance device of the motor vehicle.
  • Vehicle-fixed route guidance devices are known and have been since at least in use in luxury vehicles for a few years.
  • the route guidance devices contain a navigation system, the current position of the motor vehicle to be able to determine. This is generally a satellite navigation with the evaluation of vehicle sensors combined. They also contain route guidance devices at least one digital road map, for example as a CD-Rom is part of the route guidance system.
  • the vehicle-mounted route guidance devices work autonomously, however, are unable to get current traffic information to consider.
  • a location coding is used with which all traffic-relevant nodes of a country can be specified that are listed in a "location table".
  • the protocol contains a coding of the direction and the extent, so the traffic disruption to define the area described.
  • the traffic information are transmitted in the RDS system in addition to a radio broadcast and can be sent as a TMC signal (Traffic message channel) stored, decoded and output in a suitable form become.
  • TMC signal Traffic message channel
  • the digital maps used in the route guidance system provided with the details of the "location table” to determine to be able to determine whether the route calculated in individual cases is affected by current traffic information.
  • the automatic utilization of the traffic information in the vehicle-fixed Route guidance system is because of that considerable effort is only possible to a limited extent. The system allows does not take traffic forecasts into account and can only do that events for route planning restricted to the TMC locations consider.
  • Such a system is e.g. known from EP-A-564 353.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the problem off, the transmission of a centrally calculated route planning to simplify a vehicle-fixed route guidance device and enable it within shorter transmission times.
  • the internal digital road map of the route guidance device is provided with information for a location code that the Transfer of route planning by specifying by Location coding defined route sections takes place between The starting point and destination are and that the transferred Route sections in the internal digital road map the route guidance device are modified so that preferred over other, non-transmitted route sections at the then in the vehicle-fixed route guidance device performed route search are taken into account.
  • the transmission takes place in the central computer certain optimized route by transmitting route sections, which are encoded with a location code into the vehicle-mounted route guidance device can be loaded.
  • the vehicle-fixed route guidance device Contains information about the location code used, by already providing the internal digital road map with details the location coding used is provided.
  • the transferred Route sections are, if necessary after an implementation of the transmitted Location codes in the internal digital map location codes used by tables or algorithms to Modification of the internal digital road map used by assigning them as high priority route sections for the function of the vehicle-fixed route guidance device is used become.
  • the high priority can be achieved, for example, by the Allocation of a very high possible average speed to be marked.
  • the transmitted route sections can, but do not have to connect seamlessly.
  • any Gaps between the route sections are fixed by the vehicle Route guidance facility completed.
  • the vehicle-fixed route guidance device the way from the starting point to the entry point of the route section to be traveled first determine and appropriate guidance output. The same applies when leaving the last given Section of the route for reaching the specific destination. Accordingly, the vehicle-mounted route guidance device any gaps between the transmitted route sections fill up and your own, independent of the central computer Carry out navigation at the starting point and for the destination, if the starting point and / or destination are not coincidental match a location contained in the location table.
  • TMC encoded traffic disturbances When TMC encoded traffic disturbances are received, the stored preferred route to be checked. In case of a traffic disruption lies on a preferred route section the modification of the affected route section changed that preference is lifted and the traffic disruption is taken into account. There may then be a local cancellation, without the rest of the preferred route in the vehicle-fixed Route guidance device would be lost and from the headquarters (chargeable) would have to be recalculated.
  • the coding of the route sections is put together from a coding for a specific position a certain street, a coding for the direction the road and a coding of the extent of the route section in the street.
  • This structure corresponds to the coding the traffic information encoded for RDS transmission provided location coding.
  • Figure 1 shows functional blocks of a vehicle-fixed route guidance device 1, into which an input device 2 a destination can be entered. Calculated for the destination entered a route computer 3 with the help of a self-location current position and with the help of an associated with it digital map a route with driving recommendations on a Output device 4 is communicated to the driver.
  • a TMC block 5 shows that the in the route computer used digital map with a TMC location table is provided, with the help of all important traffic nodes coded (16 bit) and clearly identified.
  • the destination and entered by the input device 2 if necessary, one also entered with the input device 2 Starting point or one from the self-location facility in the Route calculator 3 determined starting point are together with a request for an optimized route calculation a remote data transmission interface 6 passed.
  • About the Remote data transmission interface 6 communicates with the vehicle Route guidance device 1 with a remote data transmission interface 7 a control center 8, in which a central computer 9 based on the received request for the invoice a route between a given starting point and calculates a route for a destination entered.
  • current traffic information in a modification level 10 are stored to modify the in Central computer 9 used digital road map.
  • the powerful central computer 9 can do everything in this way relevant traffic information for the possible routes take into account, so that an adapted to the current traffic situation optimized route can be calculated.
  • the optimized route is from the central computer 9 on the Remote data transmission interfaces 7, 6 to the vehicle fixed Transfer guidance device 1. This happens according to the invention by transmission of route sections that between the starting point and the destination completely have to be driven through.
  • These route sections are according to the invention characterized by a location code for which preferably a TMC location table 11 is used which the TMC location table 5 of the vehicle-fixed route guidance device 1 corresponds.
  • the route sections are therefore preferred by a location coding from the location table 11 (16 bit) a direction for the direction of travel on the Road (1 bit) and the extent of the area on the road (3 bit) defined. If the area to be traveled is larger be than to be transmitted through the three expansion bits the area is divided and as several route sections transfer.
  • a start 21 of the vehicle-fixed route guidance device gives an entry 22 for a destination free.
  • a handover step 23 the entered destination and the self-located Position of the motor vehicle on the remote data transmission interface 6 passed. After that the vehicle remains fixed Route guidance device 1 in a waiting state up to a receiving step 24.
  • a start step 41 for the control center 8 puts it into one Waiting state for a request 23 from a vehicle fixed Route guidance device 1, which in a reception step 42 received by the remote data transmission interface 7 becomes.
  • About mathematical traffic models 43, the current Taking traffic information into account is an optimally individual Route 44 calculated.
  • This route is in one coding step 45 divided into route sections and with a TMC location coding characterized.
  • the coded route sections are transmitted in a transmission step 46 by remote data transmission transmitted and in the vehicle-fixed route guidance device 1 received with the receiving step 24.
  • the function of the Control center 8 is completed after transmission step 46, so that for this request the end 47 of the function of the center is reached.
  • the internal digital map of the route computer 3 modified in step 25.
  • the route sections transmitted from the control center 8 are modified in the internal digital map so that in the subsequent independent route calculation 26 are preferably used by the route computer 3.
  • the result is a route that first follows that of the Central also contains 8 planned route sections, by means of a corresponding arrival and destination navigation as well through navigation to close any connection gaps supplemented by the vehicle-fixed route guidance device become.
  • a subsequent checking step 29 it is checked whether whether there is a major deviation from the predicted route a recalculation of the route based on the current one Location of the vehicle.
  • a recalculation can also be caused by temporal influences (breaks, expiry a specified time span, planned travel time exceeded) become necessary. If this is the case, the functional sequence the moment after entering destination 22 deferred and a new route calculation using the Central 8 requested. If no recalculation 29 is required, is checked in test step 30 whether the destination has been reached is. If this is not the case, steps 27 to 29 repeatedly until the destination is reached. Is this Destination reached, in step 31, the current one Modification of the internal digital travel order Road map (step 25) canceled so that the original state the vehicle-fixed route guidance device 1 restored is. Then the function of the vehicle-fixed route guidance device 1 completed for this job so that the functional sequence is set to "end" 32.
