Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for identifying direction data to be followed for an intercity road graph of a route calculation system. It also relates to a system for identifying direction data to be used for an intercity road graph of a route calculation system.
- EP 1865284 discloses a route display device which includes a means for extracting geographical points relating to an existing city along a route, a display means and a display control means to visualize a schematic route.
- the document JP 2010145087 describes a display device which comprises: a storage means for storing the names of the surroundings of its dwelling place, a determination means for determining whether or not a predetermined intersection consists of a road leading to the neighborhood of his place of residence, and guide means for generating the route using the neighborhood names if the intersection is constituted by a road leading to the neighborhood of his dwelling place.
- the invention provides different technical means.
- a first object of the invention is to provide a method for completing the direction databases lacking sufficient data to be used in route calculations reliably.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a method for completing the direction databases not having sufficient data, without using conventional modes of collection or data entries.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a method for scanning the graph to determine whether directional data can be identified.
- the invention provides a route calculation method for determining a road course between two points of a road graph, comprising the steps of:
- intersections of the intercity road graph into three types of intersections, the first type comprising level intersections or roundabout exits; the second type comprising the outputs in the form of braces; the third type comprising the entrances of fast ways in the form of braces;
- ii) perform, for the first type of intersections, a survey of the graph by searching, for each intersection of the graph of this type, city name data traveled during the exploration phase of the graph;
- v) perform, for the second type of crossroads, a graph run by searching, for each crossroads of the graph of this type, city name data traveled during the exploration phase of the graph;
- the method of the invention allows to create or supplement databases direction, using data already present in the database, from which the direction data is generated. This avoids having to resort to data entry methods from the field, often expensive and tedious.
- the method comprises the steps of:
- the calculation of the route is performed after the enrichment of the database.
- the calculation of the route is performed simultaneously with the enrichment of the database.
- the invention also provides a method for completing a directional database to be followed for an intercity road graph of a route calculation system, comprising the steps of:
- intersections of the intercity road graph into three types of intersections, the first type comprising level intersections or roundabout exits; the second type comprising the outputs in the form of braces; the third type comprising the entrances of fast ways in the form of braces;
- ii) perform, for the first type of intersections, a survey of the graph by searching, for each intersection of the graph of this type, city name data traveled during the exploration phase of the graph;
- v) perform, for the second type of crossroads, a graph run by searching, for each crossroads of the graph of this type, city name data traveled during the exploration phase of the graph;
- the method of the invention allows to use enriched databases with respect to the direction data. Thanks to this technical feature, it is now possible to generate maps or guidance with direction data, without risk of inconsistency or errors related to incomplete databases. This same functionality also allows a synthetic expression of the routes, since the use of directions to follow makes it possible to omit the precise details which often make the instructions difficult to apprehend.
- the method comprises the steps of:
- FIG. 1 presents a functional flowchart presenting the steps of a first phase of the method according to the invention
- FIG. 2 presents a functional flow diagram showing the steps of a second phase of the method according to the invention
- FIG. 3 presents a functional flowchart presenting the steps of a third phase of the method according to the invention.
- FIG. 4 presents a schematic representation of a steering data identification system according to the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
- the method according to the invention is subdivided into three phases or stages, corresponding to as many categories of intersections.
- a first phase of exploration of the graph in order to establish links between data of intersections and data of directions or potential destinations attainable from these intersections is carried out for crossroads of the type intersections at level and exits of roundabout.
- a second phase of exploration to establish links between data crossroads and data directions or potential destinations achievable from these crossroads is performed for crossroads like network outlets in the form of braces.
- Figure 1 illustrates the various steps performed by a data identification system 1 according to the invention for the steps inherent in the first category of road junctions.
- a selection module 6 selects the interurban road graph and identifies, at step 120, the intersections of the graph representing level intersections or roundabout exits.
- the threshold of importance of the city to be reached is determined according to the level of importance of the route initially taken by the selection module 6.
- step 140 the graph of the path module 8 performs a route of the graph from the identified intersections and in each of the directions allowed at the start.
- step 150 the flow path module 8 performs a check to determine whether the exploration can be continued in continuity.
- step 170 the process ends at step 180. If the exploration in the continuity is possible (step 160), when a city is reached, the module of Test 7 checks if the newly reached city has the highest level of importance since the beginning of the exploration. If this is not the case (step 162), these direction data are not retained (step 163) and the exploration of the graph continues (step 169) in step 150.
- the matching module 9 connects the data of this city to the intersections for which a link exists.
- a pairing is performed for all the intersections identified in step 120 and encountered during the exploration.
- step 165 the test module 7 checks whether the level of importance of the city reached is equal to or greater than the threshold determined at the outset. If this is the case (step 167), the exploration stops at step 180. In the opposite case (step 168), the exploration of the graph is continued (step 69) starting from the step 150.
- Figure 2 illustrates the various steps performed by a data identification system 1 according to the invention for the steps inherent in the second category of road junctions.
- a selection module 6 selects the interurban road graph and identifies, in step 220, the intersections of the graph representing outputs of the expressway network in the form of straps.
- the graph of travel module 8 performs a route of the graph from the identified intersections, only via the shoulder straps.
- the route module of graph 6 tests the crossroads traveled and stops the journey as soon as a crossroads with data from the first exploration phase is reached.
- the direction data obtained is filtered so as to eliminate the data beyond a threshold limit. For example, a threshold is set at 30km and applies to cities of medium and high importance (cities whose "importance of management" in Table 1 is greater than 4).
- step 260 the matching module 10 connects the remaining data to the intersections for which a link exists.
- Figure 3 illustrates the various steps performed by a data identification system 1 according to the invention for the steps inherent in the third category of road junctions.
- a selection module 6 selects the interurban road graph and identifies, in step 320, the intersections of the graph representing inputs of the fast track network in the form of straps.
- the threshold of importance of the city to be reached is determined according to the level of importance of the route initially taken by the selection module 6.
- step 340 the graphing path module 8 performs a route of the graph from the identified intersections, only via the shoulder straps and the network they feed.
- step 350 the flow path module 8 performs a check to determine whether the exploration can be continued in the continuity. If this is not the case (step 370), the process ends at step 380. If the exploration in the continuity is possible (step 360), when an exit ramp is reached, the test module 7 checks whether the ramp has directions to cities with a higher level of importance than those already encountered since the beginning of the exploration. If this is not the case (step 362), these direction data are not retained (step 363) and the exploration of the graph continues (step 369) in step 350. If the ramp encountered has directions to cities whose level of importance is higher than those encountered since departure, (step 364), the matching module 9 connects these data direction to the starting point of exploration.
- step 365 the test module 7 checks whether the level of importance of the city reached is equal to or greater than the threshold determined at the outset. If this is the case, (step 367), the exploration stops at step 380. In the opposite case (step 368), the exploration of the graph is continued (step 369) starting from the step 350.
- Table 1 illustrates an example of data that can be obtained by means of the steering data identification method according to the invention.
- Table 1 Example of data resulting from the implementation of the method according to the invention
- identifiers are provided for the starting points, the sections, and the directions.

- the distance data makes it possible, for example, preferably to select a direction that could be followed longer for a given route.
- FIG. 4 shows an example of a steering data identification system according to the invention.
- the system is arranged according to a plurality of modules, depending on the main operations to be performed.

- the direction data identification system comprises:
- a selection module 6 adapted to select the graph or portion of graph relevant for the current phase and select the junctions of the graph relevant for the current phase.
- an importance level test module 7 which, depending on the current stage, is, when a city is reached, checks whether the newly reached city has the highest level of importance since the beginning of exploration or, check if the level of importance of the city reached is equal to or greater than the threshold determined at the outset.
- a graphing path module 8 makes it possible to traverse the sections and nodes of the graph.
- a matching module 9 is adapted to connect the data of the cities reached at the intersections for which a link exists between the two.
