Development of a Route Guidances System and its Application

도로안내 시스템 개발과 그 적용

The main purpose of this paper is to develop a route guidance system which is a part of the intelligent vehicle-highway system and to apply to a real world in order to evaluate usefulness of the system. To this end, significant literature review works with regard to vehicle navigation and route guidance systems were conducted and have provided an important information about state-of-the-art systems developed and tested by the advanced countries. A geographic information system, called INTGIS, was used to find the shortest path in a given road network. Three scenarios to find minimum path were simulated and observed : 1) with-constraint on intersections and road segments, 2) without-constraint on intersections and road segments, and 3) via several stops from origin to destination. Based on a series of experiments, the results indicate that the route guidance system developed in this research is very useful to inform drivers on highway and arterial the traffic informations such as congestion and incident.
