Route search device and information control server
First Claim
1. A route search device for searching a route from a starting point to a destination, wherein the route includes a plurality of sections, the device comprising:
- a parameter calculator for calculating a parameter of each section in the route based on road information in a map data;
a driving repetition information obtaining element for obtaining driving repetition information in each section from an external server, wherein the server calculates a driving repetition of vehicles in each section based on traffic information when the server receives the traffic information from vehicles for collecting the traffic information regarding a road;
a parameter changing element for increasing a parameter of first one of the sections when the driving repetition of the first one of the sections is smaller than a first parameter threshold, wherein the driving repetition of the first one of the sections is determined based on the driving repetition information; and
a route search element for searching the route to minimize a total of parameters of the sections in the route.

10. An information control server comprising:
-
a communication element for communicating a probe vehicle, which collects traffic information regarding a road; a driving repetition information memory for calculating a driving repetition in a predetermined section based on the traffic information when the server receives the traffic information from the probe vehicle, and for storing driving repetition information, which represents the driving repetition in the section; and a driving repetition information transmitting element for extracting the driving repetition of the section from the driving repetition information memory when a route search device in another vehicle requests the driving repletion of the section, and for transmitting the driving repletion of the section to the route search device in the other vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)
