Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und ein Navigationssystem zur Bestimmung einer aus mindestens zwei Teilrouten bestehenden Gesamtroute zwischen einem Start- und einem Zielort mittels einer Routenberechnungseinrichtung, wobei die Teilrouten aus Knoten und Kanten bestehen und die Gesamtroute an einem indirekten Zwischenziel vorbeiführt. Erfindungswesentlich ist, dass zuerst eine erste Zwischenroute zwischen dem Startort und dem indirekten Zwischenziel berechnet wird, auf der ersten Zwischenroute ein Knoten als ein direktes Zwischenziel bestimmt wird, wobei sich der Knoten innerhalb einer von verschiedenen Kriterien abhängigen Entfernung von dem indirekten Zwischenziel befindet, anschließend die Zwischenroute an dem Knoten gekürzt wird, so dass eine erste Teilroute zwischen dem Startort und dem direkten Zwischenziel definiert ist, und zum Schluss eine zweite Teilroute zwischen dem direkten Zwischenziel und dem Zielort berechnet und mit der ersten Teilroute zu einer Gesamtroute zusammengefügt wird.

The invention relates to a method and a navigation system for determining an overall route consisting of at least two partial routes between a starting and a destination by means of a route calculation device, wherein the partial routes consist of nodes and edges and the overall route passes an indirect intermediate destination. It is essential to the invention that first a first intermediate route between the starting point and the indirect intermediate destination is calculated, on the first intermediate route a node is determined as a direct intermediate destination, wherein the node is within a distance dependent on different criteria from the indirect intermediate destination, then the Intermediate route is shortened at the node, so that a first partial route between the starting place and the direct intermediate destination is defined, and finally a second partial route between the direct intermediate destination and the destination calculated and merged with the first partial route to form an overall route.
