Abstract
A method for automatically calculating optimum routes in a traffic-route network is provided, taking into consideration at least one set, fixed route section, where the traffic-route network is described by segments for traffic-route sections, weighted with a resistance, and nodes for the intersection points of traffic-route sections, and the route to be calculated runs from a starting segment to a destination segment, and where, for purposes of optimization, the segments from the destination segment to the starting segment are evaluated with respect to the best resistance. The route is optimized, in each instance, from a starting segment up to the fixed route sections, at the fixed route sections, and from the fixed route section up to a destination segment.

11. A method for calculating an optimum route in a traffic-route network, taking into consideration a predefined route section, comprising:
-
describing the traffic-route network by segments representing traffic-route sections, each segment being weighted with a respective resistance;
calculating a route from a starting segment to a destination segment, taking into consideration the predefined route section, initially optimizing a part of the route extending from the predefined route section to the destination segment so that resistance to the destination is minimized; and
evaluating a part of the route extending from a starting segment to the predefined route section for the least resistance to both the destination segment and the predefined route section. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A computer program having program codes for implementing calculation of optimum routes in a traffic-route network, taking into consideration a predefined route section, the program codes performing, when executed on a processing unit, the following:
-
describing the traffic-route network by segments representing traffic-route sections, each segment being weighted with a respective resistance;
calculating a route from a starting segment to a destination segment, taking into consideration the predefined route section, initially optimizing a part of the route extending from the predefined route section to the destination segment so that resistance to the destination is minimized; and
evaluating a part of the route extending from a starting segment to the predefined route section for the least resistance to both the destination segment and the predefined route section.
