摘要:
An embodiment provides a traffic information generating method for generating traffic information about a road on which a vehicle travels. A vehicle speed is detected by a vehicle speed sensor at predetermined distance or time intervals. By referring to a prescribed speed, a prescribed distance, and a link determination distance, a congestion degree associated with the vehicle speed is detected.

A navigation device divides a pathfinding range into plural areas and performs pathfinding in consideration of congestion information. The navigation device includes a forecast congestion information generating unit configured to generate forecast congestion information corresponding to a predetermined time based on traffic information; and a forecast congestion information applying unit configured to apply, to each of the areas, the forecast congestion information corresponding to a time when a vehicle arrives in each of the areas. The navigation device includes an area setting unit configured to set regions divided by concentric circles centering around a present location, as the plural areas. The radius of the concentric circles is incremented by a fixed length that is set beforehand for each region or each time zone.

According to the present invention, information which is associated with a motion of a vehicle can be acquired even in the case where no vehicle travels on a road. Motion information, which is associated with the motion of the vehicle on the road where the vehicle traveled, is acquired along with time information. Reference traffic information, which is traffic information on the road at a reference time which is specified by the time information, is acquired from a traffic information providing device which constantly provides the traffic information. A correlation between the motion information and the reference traffic information is specified. Furthermore, estimated motion information, which indicates an estimated motion of the vechicle on the road at an estimate time when the motion is estimated, is acquired based on estimating source traffic information at the estimate time and the correlation, the estimating source traffic information being provided as the traffic information of the estimating source from the traffic information providing device in the case where no motion information is acquired at the estimate time.

Conventionally, different traffic information cannot be sent in accordance with an output reason of a request to send. According to the present invention, a request to send traffic information, which is output in response to an instruction given by a user operation or an automatically given instruction, is acquired, an output reason of the request to send is determined, and a communication unit is controlled so that the traffic information on different areas is sent depending on the cases where the output reason is the instruction given by the user operation or the automatically given instruction.
摘要:
When a vehicle passes through an intersection that is stored in a collection target intersection database and for which direction-specific probe information is collected, a CPU of a navigation device generates a plurality of direction-specific probe information (entry link, exit link, section travel time, and the like) from a plurality of unit distance section information that is collected within a direction-specific traffic information acquisition section until the vehicle passes through the intersection, an entry link traveled before entering the intersection; and an exit link traveled after passing through the intersection, and transmits these to an information distribution center.

An on-vehicle information providing device for providing information to a driver based on information sent from an information providing center is disclosed. When a vehicle leaves an off-street facility having multiple exits to enter a road, the on-vehicle information providing device performs a first process of sending the information providing center vehicle-side information including information obtained based on starting time and exiting time of the vehicle and information identifying one of the exits selected for the vehicle to leave the facility; and performs a second process of receiving from the information providing center exit status information including exit time lengths calculated for the respective exits by the information providing center based on the vehicle-side information received from multiple vehicles and providing information to the driver based on the received exit status information.
