Embodiment Construction

[0104]Preferred embodiments of the invention will now be described with particular reference to PNDs. It should be kept in mind, however, that the teachings of the present invention are not limited to PNDs, but are instead generally applicable to any type of processing device configured to execute navigation software in order to provide route planning and navigation functionality. Therefore, it follows that in the context of this application, a navigation device is intended to include (without limitation) any type of route planning and navigation device, regardless of whether the device is a navigation device embodied as a PND, built into a vehicle The device is also the computing resource (such as a desktop or portable personal computer (PC), mobile phone, or portable digital assistant (PDA)) that actually executes the route planning and navigation software.

Abstract

A method of determining a parking route for a vehicle travelling on a road network within a geographic area is disclosed. A sub-network is determined comprising a subset of segments of an electronic map that are representative of roads within a predetermined walking time or distance of a destination location. Data indicative of a walking time or distance from the segment to the destination location is associated, at least with the segments of the sub-network representing roads having at least one associated parking space. A search algorithm having an associated cost function is used to explorethe segments of the sub-network from an origin location to identify a plurality of candidate parking routes, wherein the cost for a given parking route is based on the probability of the vehicle successfully finding a parking space on the parking route and the expected cumulative travel and walking time or distance to the destination location should a parking space be found along the parking route.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of generating one or more stopping routes for a vehicle traveling on a navigable (e.g., road) network within a geographical area represented by an electronic map, and a method on which a part of said method can be implemented Or all systems, servers and navigation devices. The parking route may thus (but not exclusively) be used to guide a user of an electronic navigation device, such as a portable navigation device (PND), during a parking search, ie a search for an empty (typically on-street) parking space. Background technique [0002] Portable navigation devices (PNDs) including GPS (Global Positioning System) signal reception and processing functionality are well known and widely used as in-car or other vehicle navigation systems. [0003] In general, a modern PND includes a processor, memory (at least one, and often both, volatile and non-volatile), and map data stored within the memory. The processor co...
