NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND ROUTE SEARCH METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18367236 titled 'NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND ROUTE SEARCH METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a navigation system and a method for searching routes in the system. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The navigation system includes a vehicle controller and a service server.
  • The vehicle controller is responsible for platoon driving, which involves vehicles driving closely together in a coordinated manner.
  • The service server has a communicator to receive traffic information from the vehicle.
  • The service server also has a database to store platoon driving information received from the communicator.
  • Additionally, the service server has a processor that generates a driving route based on the traffic information and platoon driving information.
  • The driving route is generated in response to a route search request from the vehicle.

Potential Applications:

  • This navigation system can be used in autonomous vehicles or vehicles equipped with advanced driver assistance systems.
  • It can be applied in transportation and logistics industries to optimize routes for platoon driving.
  • It can be used in smart city infrastructure to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion.

Problems Solved:

  • Platoon driving requires coordination and communication between vehicles.
  • Finding the most efficient route for platoon driving considering traffic conditions can be challenging.
  • This technology solves the problem of generating driving routes that are optimized for platoon driving based on real-time traffic information.

Benefits:

  • Improved efficiency and safety in platoon driving by selecting the best routes.
  • Reduced fuel consumption and emissions by minimizing unnecessary stops and optimizing driving routes.
  • Enhanced traffic management and reduced congestion by coordinating platoon driving and optimizing routes.


Original Abstract Submitted

A navigation system and a route search method thereof are provided. The navigation system includes a vehicle controller that performs platoon driving and a service server. The service server includes a communicator that communicates with the vehicle and receives traffic information, a database that stores platoon driving information received from the communicator, and a processor that generates a driving route based on the traffic information and the platoon driving information according to a route search request from the vehicle.
