A method and suitable systems that execute the same, which relate to the collection, by a Satellite Navigation System (SNS), collection and distribution of information relating to the traffic flow (traveling speed of a vehicle through a road part), increasing thereby the available data of navigation maps and providing thereby improved routing and navigation capabilities to available SNS. A suitable software that interacts with the hardware, of the navigation device (SNS), will record features and parameters of the covered route (e. g. the period to cover each individual road part, the current time and date, the weather conditions, the type of the vehicle, etc. ). After the processing of the users` data by a central server system, this is incorporated in a `global map` (which will consist of a segmented database of a specific purpose and design). The SNS users will be able to obtain and store in their SNS any part of this map, supplementary to the available static maps of their device,in order to obtain improved decisions and routing instructions, which will be based on dynamic (space time-dependent) traffic data and will optimize, based on time, cost, or a combination thereof, as desired by the user-driver. |
