Abstract
In a process for determining a route from a predetermined starting point to a predetermined destination, firstly, weights are assigned to route segments interconnected at route nodes. At least a first weight relating to a first route segment is varied by querying at least a data source based on at least a second weight relating to a second route segment. The second route segment is prior to the first route segment in a consideration of the route from the starting point to the destination. Subsequently, the route is determined by using a route finding algorithm, the algorithm taking the weights into account.

11. A process for determining an optimized route from a predetermined starting point to a predetermined destination using a route finding algorithm, the route including route segments and route nodes, the route segments interconnecting at route nodes, the route segments having weights assigned thereto, the process comprising the steps of:
-
(a) determining an initial optimized route based on the weights assigned to the route segments between the predetermined starting point and the predetermined destination; and (b) predetermining the optimized route during execution of the algorithm during the initial optimized route, wherein at least one of the route segments is determined by the cumulative weights of the preceding route segments, and at least one of the route segments has a weight which is dynamically variable during the optimized route. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
