Description

智慧型導航裝置Smart navigation device

本創作係一種智慧型導航裝置,尤指一種判斷車輛行駛於高架道路或平面道路之智慧型導航裝置。This creation is a smart navigation device, especially a smart navigation device that determines whether a vehicle is traveling on an elevated road or a flat road.

現行衛星導航設備都具有道路定位與道路導航功能,而道路定位功能是利用全球衛星定位系統及慣性導航系統即時計算車輛的所在位置座標,並將該位置座標和所儲存的道路資料庫內的道路資料進行比對,進而算出車輛當前所行駛的道路和實際位置,道路導航功能提供使用者設定一出發地和一目的地,設定完成後利用最佳路徑進行計算,以演算出該出發地和該目的地兩點間最佳的行車路徑,讓衛星導航設備依據建議的行車路徑,隨時記錄車輛行進路徑及對使用者進行提示道路的行進方向。The current satellite navigation devices have road positioning and road navigation functions, and the road positioning function uses the global satellite positioning system and the inertial navigation system to instantly calculate the coordinates of the location of the vehicle, and coordinates the location coordinates and the roads in the stored road database. The data is compared to calculate the current road and actual position of the vehicle. The road navigation function provides the user to set a departure place and a destination. After the setting is completed, the calculation is performed by using the optimal path to calculate the departure place and the The best driving route between the two points of the destination allows the satellite navigation device to record the travel path of the vehicle and the direction of travel of the road to the user at any time according to the suggested driving route.

然,目前衛星導航設備對於車輛行駛過程中,無法獲取車輛行駛時相對於地面的高度,當車輛行駛在有高架道路和平面道路的道路上時,則會造成衛星導航設備的誤判,若當車輛由平面道路行駛至高架道路,衛星導航設備的GPS接收器接收到的車輛經緯度相關訊號,會致衛星導航設備誤認為車輛還行駛在平面道路上,使得導航內容顯示車輛還在行駛平面道路,進而產生導航錯誤;反之,當車輛由高架道路行駛至平面道路,衛星導航設備的GPS接收器接收到的車輛經緯度相關訊號,會致衛星導航設備誤認為車輛還行駛在高架道路上,使得導航內容顯示車輛還在行駛高架道路,進而產生導航錯誤。However, at present, the satellite navigation device cannot obtain the height relative to the ground when the vehicle is running during the running of the vehicle. When the vehicle is traveling on the road with the elevated road and the flat road, the satellite navigation device may be misjudged. From the plane road to the elevated road, the GPS latitude and longitude correlation signal received by the GPS receiver of the satellite navigation device will cause the satellite navigation device to mistakenly believe that the vehicle is still driving on the plane road, so that the navigation content indicates that the vehicle is still on the plane road, and then A navigation error is generated; conversely, when the vehicle travels from an elevated road to a flat road, the GPS latitude and longitude correlation signal received by the GPS receiver of the satellite navigation device causes the satellite navigation device to mistakenly believe that the vehicle is still traveling on the elevated road, so that the navigation content is displayed. The vehicle is still driving on the elevated road, which in turn creates navigation errors.

因此,如何提供可判斷車輛行駛在高架道路或平面道路之智慧型導航裝置,亟待業界解決之課題。Therefore, how to provide a smart navigation device that can judge whether a vehicle is traveling on an elevated road or a flat road is an urgent problem to be solved by the industry.
