  • Patent number: 8620575
    Abstract: The invention relates to a route guidance method and a system for implementing such a method, and a corresponding computer-readable storage medium, which in particular may be used for an adaptive route guidance, the travel routes being selected that offer the highest safety when following the required driving maneuvers. For this purpose, it is recommended to output driving recommendations as a function of the risk of calculated routes. To this end, information about the current traffic situation in the surroundings of the vehicle is evaluated, the risk of the driving maneuvers resulting from calculated routes is evaluated using the results of the evaluation by at least one computer program, and driving instructions are output as a function of the evaluation.

  • Patent number: 8111917
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for subdividing the road pattern in digital road maps into segments, in which, starting from the digital road maps in which the road pattern is subdivided into successive segments, new segment borders are established via new segment starting points and segment end points, by selecting the segment starting points and the segment end points in such a way that the shape of the segments between the segment starting points and the segment end points does not change. The invention also relates to the computation of the road pattern with the aid of digital road maps, in which the road is subdivided into successive segments, to each of which one segment starting point and one segment end point is assigned.

  • Publication number: 20100138146
    Abstract: A routing method and an arrangement for executing such a method, as well as a corresponding computer program and a corresponding processor-readable storage medium, which can be used in particular in combination with a navigation system in order to provide a user (vehicle driver, or pedestrian, bicyclists, etc.) with comprehensive information relating to route planning, as well as corresponding decision possibilities. For this purpose, it is provided that motor vehicles using a vehicle navigation system are guided, maneuver recommendations and/or orientation recommendations being outputted for at least two driving routes by the vehicle navigation system, and that this is also provided for mobile non-vehicle systems.
