Patent number: 10036646Abstract: The invention relates to a method for transmitting route data to a motor vehicle, wherein the route data describe an area lying ahead. A control device of the motor vehicle carries out the following steps: a) Determining a route section extending between a current position of the motor vehicle and the area; b) Determining a transmission bandwidth, which is expected to be available along the route section; and c) Determining a speed profile of the travel speed which is expected to be achieved along the route section. This results in a start time at which transmission has to be started so that the route data will have been completely transmitted when the area is reached. A trigger location is determined, which corresponds to the start time (23) according to the speed profile.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2016Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: AUDI AGInventors: Toralf Schumann, Guido Mueller

Patent number: 7788026Abstract: A method for ascertaining routes in a route network is provided, in which an optimal route to a target of a certain category can be determined. A route is calculated from a point of origin to an optimal target point from a plurality of spatially separated target points that are allocated to at least one directed segment and/or to at least one node. The method includes defining the target points from entries of addresses, map targets, target memory entries given by an index of a given category, such as, for instance, post office, gas stations. The respective route to the target point is optimized as a sequence of the directed segments having nodes situated between the directed segments such that the sum of all resistances of the sequence to the respective target point becomes a minimum. A list of the respective routes to the respective target point is then drawn up.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2002Date of Patent: August 31, 2010Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Guido Mueller
