GPS area road condition reminder system

The invention relates to a GPS area road condition reminding system, in particular to an area road condition reminding system which can effectively improve the smoothness and safety of driving.

According to the situation, road traffic jams often occur in areas with dense populations and high population density. Therefore, some operators have developed vehicle navigation systems to provide information such as route navigation and real-time traffic conditions to assist vehicle drivers to avoid them. Block the road.

Please refer to the "Navigation Systems and Methods" of Taiwan Notice No. I471530 and the "System and Method for Producing Information Schematic" of Taiwan Notice No. I476737 to disclose vehicle navigation and assist drivers in avoiding congestion routes. The "Navigation System and Method" of the Taiwan Patent Publication No. I471530 discloses that a driving device generates a line of vehicle information according to a route, and a receiving unit of a cloud server receives the driving information, and the cloud server One of the feature analysis units analyzes the driving information, and determines that the driving information is one of a plurality of driving information corresponding to the route, and one of the cloud server optimization units starts according to one of the inputs of the electronic device. And a destination, an optimal route is obtained from the group, and the optimal route is transmitted to the electronic device for navigation; and the Taiwan announcement No. I476737 "system and method for generating a message map" A system for generating a message map on an electronic map is disclosed, which allows the user to select on the electronic map A range of maps or an operating system for automatically locating regional maps near the user, the system can automatically convert and match the latitude and longitude coordinates of the selected sections in the selected area, and then through the road section styling, and draw the intersections and displays of the links. Mark the point and finally adjust the length of the link length automatically to generate a simple information sketch for the user.

However, the "Navigation Systems and Methods" of the Taiwan Notice No. I471530 and the "System and Method for Producing Information Schematic" of the Taiwan Notice No. I476737 provide information on road conditions such as route navigation and traffic flow at most, without providing traffic lights, Information such as speed camera detection and road construction, the number of traffic lights and speed cameras installed on the road, and whether or not road construction is carried out are all important factors affecting the smoothness and safety of the vehicle, especially when the road is smooth, the vehicle is driving. Many people will not notice whether the speed exceeds the maximum speed limit of the road section. At this time, if there is a speed camera on the road section, the driver's speeding condition will be photographed, and the driver of the vehicle will receive the violation ticket due to the speeding. Causes it to lose money.
