    Abstract: A navigation apparatus for navigating a vehicle in accordance with a preset course while measuring distance travelled and steering angle has voice track indication means in which voice track indications corresponding to the distance remaining to an intersection at which the next turn is to be made are outputted as the intersection is approached. When the distance from this intersection to the next intersection requiring a turn is less than a predetermined value, a voice track indication pointing out a lane into which the vehicle should be steered following the turn at the former intersection is outputted after the final voice track indication given just before the vehicle reaches this intersection. When it is required that a turn be made at the latter intersection immediately after the turn at the former intersection, the lane information for the turn at the latter intersection is outputted before the vehicle is turned at the former intersection. This makes it possible for the driver to steer the vehicle to the lane appropriate for the turn at the latter intersection while the vehicle is being turned at the former. Accordingly, in situations where it is required to make the turn at the latter intersection immediately after effecting the turn at the former, the driver can make the proper maneuvers smoothly and without haste.

    Abstract: A lane change assist and/or lane departure warning system adapted for use with a vehicle having a module engaged by an operator, wherein the vehicle travels within a lane, and the system includes a steering wheel sensor, at least one sensor operable to detect a lane-marking or an approaching object in adjacent lanes in the direction of host vehicle travel, a warning device including an active material element engaged with the module, and a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor and device and configured to determine a spatial relationship between the vehicle and the lane-marking or approaching object in the direction of host vehicle travel, compare the relationship to a threshold, transmit an activation signal to the element when the relationship exceeds the threshold or when an object is detected and the wheel sensor indicates a turn towards the object, and generate an alert by activating the element.

    Abstract: Method and system for supporting path control are disclosed for supporting path control especially of a vehicle on a road or in an off-road environment, or of a ship or an airplane. The supporting of path control is especially provided by conducting at least one of the following steps (a) and (b): (a) estimating an actual future path of the vehicle on the basis of vehicle movement data and at least one of optically, acoustically, and tactilely indicating the estimated actual future path to the driver, (b) detecting the actual present path of the vehicle, estimating a present deviation of the detected actual present path from a desired present path and at least one of optically, acoustically, and tactilely indicating the estimated present deviation to the driver.
