VEHICLE DYNAMIC NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A vehicle navigation system, comprising an onboard navigation unit installed on board a vehicle that can be used by a user to set target destinations and an operations centre communicating with said onboard navigation unit and comprising means of monitoring traffic conditions and road conditions of at least one road network, in which said onboard navigation unit is configured to:
- receive a target destination request from said user,calculate, in response to said destination request, a first static road route based on information regarding the position of said vehicle and stored geographic data, andprovide said user with information regarding said first calculated static road route, characterized in that said onboard navigation unit is configured to;
transmit information associated with said target destination and said first static road route to said operations centre,and that said operations centre is configured to;
calculate a dynamic road route based on said target destination, said first static road route and information regarding the traffic conditions and road conditions of said road network and/or said static road route,compare said calculated dynamic road route with said first static road route, andtransmit information associated with a road route that is selected on the basis of said comparison to said onboard navigation unit.

Abstract
A vehicle navigation system is described, comprising an onboard navigation unit installed on board a vehicle that can be used by a user to set target destinations and an operations centre communicating with the onboard navigation unit. The onboard navigation unit is configured to transmit a target destination and a static road route to the operations centre. The operations centre is configured to calculate a dynamic road route based on the target destination, the static road route and information regarding the traffic conditions and road conditions of said road network and/or the static road route. In addition, the operations centre compares the calculated dynamic road route with the static road route and transmits information associated with a road route that is selected on the basis of the comparison to the onboard navigation unit.

13. A vehicle navigation method, comprising:
-
receiving a target destination request from said user on an onboard navigation unit installed on board a vehicle, calculating, in response to said request, a first static road route based on information regarding the position of said vehicle and geographic data stored in said onboard navigation unit, providing said user with information regarding said first static road route, transmitting said target destination and said first static road route to an operations centre, calculating, at said operations centre, a dynamic road route based on said target destination, said first static road route and information regarding the traffic conditions and road conditions of said road network and/or said static road route, comparing said calculated dynamic road route with said first static road route, and transmitting information associated with a road route that is selected on the basis of said comparison to said onboard navigation unit. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
