METHOD FOR OPERATING A NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND NAVIGATION SYSTEM FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A method for operating a navigation system for a motor vehicle in a road network, wherein at least one zone of the road network is provided with an emissions class-dependent drive-through restriction, wherein the motor vehicle is associated with at least one emissions class, comprising:
- in a first step storing in a first database of the navigation system, information about the geographic location of the one or more zones and about the minimum emissions class that is required in the zones for the motor vehicle to be authorized to drive through,in a second step, entering information about the one or more emissions classes of the motor vehicle with the navigation system in a second database of the navigation system, andin a third step, considering the information entered in the first and second steps in the destination guidance process, wherein destination guidance into or through the zoned is avoided, if the one or more emissions classes of the motor vehicle are affected by emissions class-dependent drive-through restrictions in the zone,wherein in the second step, the emissions class is transmitted from a motor-vehicle-side information memory to the navigation system,wherein a mobile navigation system is used as the navigation system and information about the one or more emissions classes is read out via wireless contact by the navigation system from a vehicle-side information memory.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for operating a navigation system for a motor vehicle in a road network, and to a navigation system. To this end, first a zone of the road network is provided with an emissions class-dependent drive-through restriction, wherein the motor vehicle is associated with at least one emissions class. First, information about the geographical location of the zone and about the emissions class at least required there is stored in the navigation system. Then, information about the at least one emissions class of the motor vehicle is entered into the navigation system. Thereafter, the information entered is considered in the destination guidance process, wherein destination guidance into or through the zone is avoided if the at least one emissions class of the motor vehicle is affected by emissions class-dependent drive-through restrictions in the zone.

13. Navigation system for a motor vehicle, comprising a database for a road network, wherein the navigation system is configured for storing at least one emissions class-dependent drive-through restriction for at least one zone of the road network, the navigation system is set up for storing at least one emissions class assigned to the motor vehicle in which the navigation system is being operated, and the navigation system is configured for taking into consideration the emissions class-dependent drive-through restriction for the zone with respect to the one or more emissions classes assigned to the motor vehicle, wherein driving into and/or through the zone is avoided in the cases in which the one or more emissions classes of the motor vehicle are affected by the drive-through restriction, characterized in that the navigation system is configured for reading out the emissions class via wireless contact from a motor-vehicle-side information memory.
