Embodiment Construction

[0030] figure 1 An example block diagram of an on-vehicle computing system 1 for a vehicle 31 is illustrated. A vehicle provided with a vehicle-based computer system may include a visual front-end interface 4 located in the vehicle. The user can also interact with the interface (if present) through, for example, a touch screen. In another illustrative embodiment, the interaction occurs through button presses, spoken dialogue, and speech synthesis.

[0031] exist figure 1 In the illustrative embodiment 1 shown in , the processor 3 controls at least a portion of the operation of the on-board computer system. Provided in the vehicle, the processor allows on-board processing of instructions and routes. Furthermore, the processor is connected to non-persistent memory 5 and persistent memory 7 . In this illustrative embodiment, the non-persistent storage is random access memory (RAM) and the persistent storage is a hard disk drive (HDD) or flash memory.

[0032] The processor ...

Abstract

A route-determination method includes gathering road-related data in a vehicle navigation system (VNS) for a plurality of routes between two locations. This may include weighting two or more of the possible routes in the VNS based at least on the road-related data. Also, this may include adjusting the weighting in the VNS for each weighted route based on projected fuel consumption and determining an optimal fuel usage route in the VNS based on the adjusted weighting. Further, this may include outputting at least one optimal fuel usage route.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for determining a driving route of a vehicle. Background technique [0002] Many drivers today have a navigation system provided as part of their vehicle, or have a navigation system from the aftermarket attached for use within the vehicle. These systems rely on the Global Positioning System and are commonly referred to as GPS. The map data for these systems may be pre-installed when the user purchases the system. Alternatively or additionally, map data may be provided to the system periodically or dynamically. [0003] In a similar system, directions may be provided to the driver based on coordinates input to an off-board location such as, but not limited to, a server. The server can perform vehicle orientation calculations and upload data to vehicle systems (eg, Ford SYNC system) for output to the driver. [0004] In either of these solutions, the system may use map data compiled by a third party in the query. I...
