背景技術  Background art
[0002] 近年、自動車等に搭載される装置として、 GPS (Global Positioning System)により 自分の位置を算出して地図上に自分の位置を表示する共に、目的地までの経路を 表示して、経路案内をするナビゲーシヨン装置が広く普及している。このようなナビゲ ーシヨン装置は、 POI (Point of Interest)と呼ばれる地図上の地点に関連付けられた 周辺施設の情報を保持しており、 POIに含まれる情報を画面上の地図情報と共に重 ね合わせて表示することにより、運転者等により多くの情報を提供できるようになって いる。  [0002] In recent years, as a device installed in automobiles, etc., GPS (Global Positioning System) calculates its position and displays its position on a map, and also displays a route to a destination. Navigation devices for guiding are widely used. Such a navigation device holds information on peripheral facilities associated with points on the map called POI (Point of Interest), and superimposes information contained in the POI together with map information on the screen. By displaying, more information can be provided to the driver.
[0003] POIの情報には、駐車場の情報についても含まれていることが多ぐ画面に表示さ れた地図上に付近の駐車場の情報が表示されるため、運転者は不慣れな場所であ つても、駐車場を速やかに見つけることができる。更に、そのナビゲーシヨン装置が搭 載された自動車等を駐車することができるかどうかを見分けるために、駐車場の情報 に付加的な情報を加えて利用者の利便性を高めている。例えば、特許文献 1では、 駐車場の空き状況、営業日時、車幅、車高及び料金の情報を用いている。また、特 許文献 2では、駐車場が、エレベータ式、ステップ式、ゲート式及び立体自走式等で あるかどうかの情報を用いて 、る。  [0003] Information on nearby parking lots is displayed on the map displayed on the screen, which often includes parking lot information in POI information. Even so, parking can be found quickly. Furthermore, in order to determine whether or not a car equipped with the navigation device can be parked, additional information is added to the parking lot information to improve the convenience for the user. For example, Patent Document 1 uses information on parking space availability, business date and time, vehicle width, vehicle height, and fare. Patent Document 2 uses information on whether a parking lot is an elevator type, a step type, a gate type, a three-dimensional self-propelled type, or the like.

発明の開示 発明が解決しょうとする課題 Disclosure of the invention Problems to be solved by the invention
[0005] これらの情報は、運転者が駐車場を利用する際には、有用な情報として用いられる 。しかし、これらの情報の他にも、駐車場を選ぶ際に、運転者が気にかけたい情報と して、駐車場の路面の傾斜の角度差がある。都市部の狭い場所に作られた駐車場で は、駐車場内の路面の傾斜の角度差の大きいものが多ぐ特に走行している路面か ら上側に向う角度差が大きい場合には、ボディの先端の下側を擦ったり、ぶっけたり してしまう場合がある。これは、フロントタイヤの中心力もボディの最先端までの距離( フロントオーバーハング)が大きい場合に起こりうる。逆に、リアタイヤの中心力もボデ ィの最後端までの距離 (リアオーバーハング)が大きい場合には、ボディの後端を擦る 場合がある。  [0005] These pieces of information are used as useful information when the driver uses the parking lot. However, in addition to this information, there is a difference in the inclination of the road surface of the parking lot as information that the driver wants to pay attention to when choosing a parking lot. In a parking lot that is built in a narrow area in an urban area, there are many cases where the angle difference of the road surface in the parking lot is large, especially when there is a large angle difference upward from the running road surface. The bottom side of the tip may be rubbed or crushed. This can happen when the center force of the front tire is too large (front overhang) to the tip of the body. Conversely, if the center force of the rear tire is too far from the rear end of the body (rear overhang), the rear end of the body may be rubbed.
[0006] 車両が走行することができるこれらの最大角度は、それぞれ、その車両におけるァ プローチアングル及びディパーチヤアングルと呼ばれ、図 14の自動車 Cにおいて、 それぞれ AA及び D Aで表わされる量であり、車両にとって重要なパラメータとなって いる。しかし、従来のナビゲーシヨン装置では、駐車場の路面の傾斜の角度差が、こ れらのアプローチアングル又はディパーチヤアングルを超えて 、るかどうかは、実際 にその駐車場に行ってみな 、と分力もなかった。  [0006] These maximum angles that the vehicle can travel are called the approach angle and the departure angle in the vehicle, respectively, and are the quantities represented by AA and DA, respectively, in the car C in FIG. It has become an important parameter for vehicles. However, with the conventional navigation device, whether or not the difference in the inclination of the road surface of the parking lot exceeds these approach angles or departure angles is considered by actually going to the parking lot. And there was no power.
[0007] また、駐車場でなくとも、急な傾斜のある道や、道路に車両の速度を落とさせるため のハンプ (道路を一部盛り上げたもの)等を設置してある場合で、車両の先端をぶつ けてしまうような地点も存在する。  [0007] Even if the parking lot is not a parking lot, a road with a steep slope or a hump (a part of the road that is raised) is installed on the road. There are also places where you can hit the tip.
