Route guidance method and system for implementing such a method, as well as a corresponding computer program and a corresponding computer-readable storage medium
First Claim
1. A route guidance method, comprising:
- calculating at least one route by a navigation system based on information about destination and start location, wherein the at least one route is evaluated as a function of a dynamic risk, and wherein the dynamic risk is included in a route calculation at a short notice so that information about the current traffic situation in the surrounding of a user of the route guidance method is evaluated;
evaluating a risk of motion behavior resulting from the calculated at least one route using results of the evaluation by at least one computer program;
outputting driving recommendations as a function of the evaluation; and
outputting a plurality of alternative routes as a function of the risk of the motion behavior of the at least one calculated route.

Abstract
The invention relates to a route guidance method and a system for implementing such a method, and a corresponding computer-readable storage medium, which in particular may be used for an adaptive route guidance, the travel routes being selected that offer the highest safety when following the required driving maneuvers. For this purpose, it is recommended to output driving recommendations as a function of the risk of calculated routes. To this end, information about the current traffic situation in the surroundings of the vehicle is evaluated, the risk of the driving maneuvers resulting from calculated routes is evaluated using the results of the evaluation by at least one computer program, and driving instructions are output as a function of the evaluation.
