ROUTE GUIDANCE SYSTEM AND ROUTE GUIDANCE METHOD

摘要

A route guidance system includes a current position detection portion, a route search processing means, and a guidance processing means. The guidance processing means includes a branching element computation processing means that computes the number of branching elements from a host vehicle position to a guidance point and a point guidance processing means that executes route guidance based on the computed number of the branching elements. The number of the branching elements from the host vehicle position to the guidance point is computed, and the route guidance is executed based on the computed number of the branching elements, so it is possible to recognize the guidance point simply by counting the number of the branching elements, regardless of the number of traffic signals that exist between the host vehicle position and the guidance point. The driver will not fail to recognize the guidance point.
