  • Publication number: 20090326799
    Abstract: A system and method to facilitate the creation, organization, maintenance and determination of traversable routes for vehicles traveling between an origin and a destination. Traversable routes are based on one or a plurality of route segments each containing criteria related to physical aspects of the segment, including maximum allowable physical limits of a vehicle. These route segments may be partially or completely joined via standardized node identifiers prior to route selection to allow additional level(s) of physical or other criteria to be stored in association with a plurality of route segments. Individual route segments, collections thereof, or complete routes may be maintained independently, or in a hierarchical manner whereby physical criteria or other data exist in associated layers. Traversable routes may be determined by the selection of complete routes, which may contain one or a plurality of associated segments, and span certain origins and destinations.

  • Patent number: 7158876
    Abstract: A system, method, and user interface are provided for determining a traversable route for a vehicle, which supports the ability to determine traversable routes based on physical vehicle criteria and vehicle criteria limits imposed by the routes. The user enters the vehicle criteria, and in response the system populates a set of origins based on the vehicle criteria. The user then selects an origin from this list, which causes the system to calculate a set of destinations based on the selected origin and vehicle criteria. The user then selects a destination from that list, which causes the system to select a set of routes connecting the user-selected origin to the user-selected destination. This list of routes may be sorted alphabetically by route and/or by route distance. The user then selects a route.
