Automated vehicle routing based on physical vehicle criteria
First Claim
1. A method in a computing system for routing using a plurality of stored route entries that each define a route over which a vehicle may travel, and that each have an associated vehicle criterion limit, comprising steps of:
- receiving an indication of an origin and a destination;
receiving a vehicle criterion;
searching the plurality of route entries for at least one route that connects the origin with the destination and that is associated with a vehicle criterion limit that encompasses the vehicle criterion; and
displaying results from the step of searching.

Abstract
A system, method, and user interface are provided for determining a traversable route for a vehicle, which supports the ability to determine traversable routes based on physical vehicle criteria and vehicle criteria limits imposed by the routes. The user enters the vehicle criteria, and in response the system populates a set of origins based on the vehicle criteria. The user then selects an origin from this list, which causes the system to calculate a set of destinations based on the selected origin and vehicle criteria. The user then selects a destination from that list, which causes the system to select a set of routes connecting the user-selected origin to the user-selected destination. This list of routes may be sorted alphabetically by route and/or by route distance. The user then selects a route.

11. A method in a computing system for determining vehicle routing, comprising steps of:
-
(1) receiving data representing a vehicle criterion; (2) accessing a plurality of stored routes, each route having an associated origin and destination; (3) searching the plurality of stored routes for at least one of the origins based on the vehicle criterion; and (4) causing to be displayed the at least one origin found in step (3). - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer-displayed user interface for providing routing information, comprising:
-
a user-interactive first portion for receiving an indication of a vehicle criterion; a user-interactive second portion for receiving an indication of an origin; a third portion for indicating at least one route depending upon the origin and the vehicle criterion; a user-interactive fourth portion for receiving an indication of a destination after the third portion indication the at least one route; and a user-interactive fifth portion for indicating at least one route depending upon the origin, the vehicle criterion, and the destination. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
