Further, the radio navigation is not limited to the GPS, but, for example, a VICS optical beacon may be used. Further, in order to detect the relative orientation of the vehicle in the self-contained navigation, a gyro sensor or wheel speed sensors provided on the left and right wheels of the vehicle may be used instead of the steering sensor 13.

  The digital road map database 20 is a device for inputting digital map data including road data, background data, character data, facility data, and the like to the computer 30. The digital road map database 20 has an information storage medium 21 for storing digital map data. As the information storage medium 21, a CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM is generally used depending on the data amount. A card, a hard disk, or the like may be used.

  Here, the configuration of road data will be described. The road data is composed of data such as a link ID with a unique number for each road, link coordinate data, node coordinate data, road type data indicating a road type such as an expressway or a national road, and road width data. . The link in the road data is obtained by dividing each road on the map into a plurality of nodes by nodes indicating intersections, branching points, etc., and defining a link between the two nodes. The link coordinate data describes the start and end coordinates of this link. When a node is included in the middle of the link, the node coordinates are described in the node coordinate data. In addition to displaying a map, this road data is used to give the shape of a road when performing map matching processing, or used when searching for a guide route to a destination.

  The background data is data for displaying the facility shape, natural terrain, and the like to be displayed other than the road when the road map is displayed on the display unit 40. The character data is for displaying place names, facility names, road names, and the like on the road map, and is configured as data in which coordinates on the map corresponding to the display positions are associated.

  The display unit 40 is configured by, for example, a liquid crystal display, and the vehicle generated by the vehicle position mark corresponding to the current position of the vehicle on the screen of the display unit 40 and the map data input from the digital road map database 20. The surrounding road map can be displayed. When a destination is set, a guide route from the current position to the destination is displayed on the road map in an overlapping manner.

In addition, the VICS receiver 80 outputs the received road traffic information to the computer 30.

  In the present embodiment, the traffic jam information received by the FM multiplex receiver 81, the optical beacon receiver 82, and the radio beacon receiver 83 is hereinafter referred to as the first traffic jam information, the second traffic jam information, and the third traffic jam information. It is called traffic congestion information.

  The traffic jam information includes infrastructure links, lane identification information, and the level of traffic jams. The infrastructure link is a position expression link for efficiently processing information about roads provided from the infrastructure side. A table defining the correspondence between the infrastructure link and the link ID is stored in the first storage device 90 described later.

  The lane identification information is information for identifying whether the road corresponds to the above-mentioned infrastructure link, whether it is traffic jam information related to an upstream lane or traffic congestion information related to a downstream lane. Specifically, for example, the traffic lane identification information is “1” in the case of traffic jam information related to the up lane, and the traffic lane identification information is “0” in the case of traffic jam information related to the down traffic lane. The degree of traffic congestion is divided into four categories: “traffic jam”, “crowded”, “no traffic jam”, and “unknown”.

  The first storage device 90 stores an infrastructure link and a link ID corresponding to the infrastructure link. For example, as shown in the example of FIG. 4, the first storage device 90 stores a table indicating a link ID corresponding to the infrastructure link for each infrastructure link.

  The second storage device 91 is for displaying the first to third traffic jam information received by the VICS receiver 80 on the road map, and the information source of the first to third traffic jam information The first to third arrow images are stored as the first to third line segments indicating the first to third congestion information.

  Specifically, as an aspect in which the information providing source can be identified, the shapes of the first to third arrow images are made different. In this way, the user can identify the information providing source by changing the shapes of the first to third arrow images. As a specific example, as shown in FIG. 5, as the shapes of the first to third arrow images, at least one of the line width, line type, and linearity of the first to third arrow images is different. Make it. As described above, the shapes of the first to third arrow images can be made different by changing at least one of the line width, line type, and linearity of the first to third arrow images.

  Further, as an aspect in which the information providing source can be identified, the display colors of the first to third arrow images are made different according to each information providing source and the degree of traffic jam as shown in the example of FIG. 5 again. As described above, the user can identify the information providing source by changing the display colors of the first to third arrow images according to the information providing sources and the degree of each traffic jam.

  As described above, the second storage device 91 stores the first to third arrow images having different shapes according to the information providing sources and different display colors according to the information providing sources and the degree of traffic jams. Has been.

  In addition, when the position of the destination is input by the operation switch group 50 or voice recognition, the in-vehicle navigation device 100 according to the present embodiment automatically selects the optimum route from the current position to the destination and guides the route. A so-called route guidance function is also provided. As a method for automatically setting an optimum route, a known method such as the Dijkstra method is known. In addition, for example, a search function for searching for the position of a facility or the like from an address, a facility name, a telephone number, or the like input by the user is also provided.

  These functions are executed mainly by the computer 30 performing various arithmetic processes. That is, when the destination is input, the computer 30 calculates a route using the map data in the digital road map database 20 and displays the route. In addition, the computer 30 displays the own vehicle position mark indicating the position of the vehicle and the surrounding road map on the display unit 40, or changes the scale of the road map.

  Next, the display control process in the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the display control process. As a specific example, the description will be made assuming that the host vehicle is traveling on a general road and the VICS receiver 80 can receive the first traffic jam information and the second traffic jam information.

  First, in step S10 in FIG. 2, the current position of the host vehicle is detected. At this time, the position data by the GPS receiver 11 is acquired in the same form as the coordinate data (latitude and longitude) of the road data described above. In addition, the geomagnetic sensor 12, the steering sensor 13, and the vehicle speed sensor 14 acquire data related to the traveling direction and travel distance of the host vehicle, and calculate the coordinate data of the current position based on the vehicle position calculated or determined in the past. Perform (calculation of coordinate data by self-contained navigation). The current position is basically obtained based on coordinate data calculated by self-contained navigation. However, when the position data by the GPS receiver 11 is acquired, the two are compared, and when the difference is equal to or greater than a predetermined distance, the position data by the GPS receiver 11 is adopted as the current position.

  In step S20, map data of the surrounding map including the current position of the vehicle is read from the digital road map database 20 and displayed on the display unit 40. Then, link IDs corresponding to all roads on the road map displayed on the display unit 40 are stored in the RAM of the computer 30. When the road map is updated due to a change in the current position detected in step S10 and a change in the scale of the road map, the computer 30 deletes all link IDs stored in the RAM, The link IDs corresponding to all roads on the updated road map are stored in the RAM.

  In step S30, it is determined whether or not the first traffic jam information has been received. Specifically, for example, it is determined whether or not the first traffic jam information is input to the computer 30 from the FM multiplex receiver 81. If it is determined that the first traffic jam information has been input to the computer 30, the process proceeds to step S40.

  In step S <b> 40, the computer 30 stores the first traffic jam information in the first EEPROM of the computer 30. Specifically, for example, the computer 30 extracts a link ID corresponding to the infrastructure link included in the first traffic jam information from the first storage device 90. Then, as shown in the example of FIG. 6, the computer 30 stores the extracted link ID, the link ID, the lane identification information, and the degree of traffic jam in the first EEPROM so as to correspond one-to-one. .

  If it is determined in step S30 that the first traffic jam information has not been input to the computer 30, the process proceeds to step S50.

  In step S50, it is determined whether there is first traffic information corresponding to the road on the road map displayed on the display unit 40. Specifically, for example, the computer 30 collates the link ID stored in the RAM with the link ID stored in the first EEPROM, and the same link ID is found in the RAM and the first EEPROM. It is determined whether or not it is stored. If it is determined that the same link ID is stored, the process proceeds to step S60.

  In step S60, the computer 30 extracts a first arrow image for displaying the first traffic jam information on the road map from the second storage device 91. Specifically, for example, first, the computer 30 extracts the degree of traffic jam corresponding to the link ID determined to be the same in step S50 from the first EEPROM. Next, the computer 30 extracts a first arrow image having a display color corresponding to the degree of the extracted traffic jam from the second storage device 91.

  In step S70, the first arrow image is displayed on the road map. Specifically, for example, the computer 30 extracts the first arrow image extracted in step S60 along the lane on the road corresponding to the link ID and the lane identification information determined to be the same in step S50. Is displayed on the road map.

  If it is determined in step S50 that the same link ID is not stored, the process proceeds to step S80.

  In step S80, it is determined whether the second traffic jam information has been received. Specifically, for example, it is determined whether or not the second traffic jam information is input to the computer 30 from the optical beacon receiver 82. If it is determined that the second traffic jam information has been input to the computer 30, the process proceeds to step S90.

  In step S90, similarly to step S40, the computer 30 stores the second traffic jam information in the second EEPROM of the computer 30. If it is determined in step S80 that the second traffic jam information has not been input to the computer 30, the process proceeds to step S100.

  In step S100, it is determined whether there is second traffic information corresponding to the road on the road map displayed on the display unit 40. Specifically, similarly to step S50, the computer 30 collates the link ID stored in the RAM with the link ID stored in the second EEPROM, and in the RAM and the second EEPROM, It is determined whether or not the same link ID is stored. If it is determined that the same link ID is stored, the process proceeds to step S110.

  In step S110, similarly to step S60, the computer 30 extracts a second arrow image for displaying the second traffic jam information on the road map from the second storage device 91.

  In step S120, the second arrow image is displayed on the road map. Specifically, as shown in the example of FIG. 3, the computer 30 is the first corresponding to the lane in the lane on the road corresponding to the link ID and the lane identification information determined to be the same in step S100. The second arrow image is displayed on the road map along the arrow image. Thus, by displaying the first and second arrow images at different positions according to the information providing source along the lane on the road corresponding to the first and second arrow images, the user can The information providing source can be identified from the display position of the second arrow image.

  If it is determined in step S100 that the same link ID is not stored, the process returns to step S10.

  Even when the VICS receiver 80 can receive traffic jam information from n (n> 0) information providing sources, the display control process in this embodiment can be executed. Specifically, first, the second storage device 91 stores first to n-th arrow images indicating the first to n-th traffic jam information in such a manner that the information providing source can be identified. When the first to n-th traffic information is received by the VICS receiver 80, the computer 30 determines the degree of traffic included in the first to n-th traffic information from the second storage device 91. First to n-th arrow images of display colors corresponding to the above are extracted. Then, the computer 30 displays the nth arrow image on the road map along the (n−1) th arrow image corresponding to the lane in the lane corresponding to the first to nth congestion information. To display. By doing so, even if the number of information providing sources increases, the user can identify the information providing sources from the display positions of the first to n-th arrow images.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the first and second traffic jam information from a plurality of information providing sources is received, the first and second traffic jams can be identified in such a manner that the information providing source can be identified. Both the first and second arrow images indicating information can be displayed on the road map. Thereby, the user can confirm traffic jam information from a plurality of information providing sources.

  It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the example in which the first and second arrow images are both displayed on the road map for all roads on the road map has been described. However, the first and second arrow images may be displayed on the road map for roads included in a predetermined range (for example, within a radius of 100 m) starting from the detected current position (in step S10). . This is because it is sufficient that the first and second arrow images are displayed on the road map for the road included in the predetermined range starting from the current position.

  Further, for example, based on the travel locus in a predetermined period including the current position detected by the position detector 10, from the digital map data of the digital road map database 20, the traveling direction lane on the vehicle travel road on which the host vehicle is traveling And the first and second arrow images may be displayed on the road map for the identified traveling lane. This is because it is sufficient that the first and second arrow images are displayed on the road map with respect to the traveling lane on the vehicle traveling road on which the host vehicle is traveling.

  Further, for example, when a guide route is searched, the first and second arrow images may be displayed on the road map regarding the traveling direction lane in the searched guide route. This is because it is sufficient that the first and second arrow images are displayed on the road map with respect to the traveling lane in the guide route.

  In addition, for example, both the first and second arrow images may be displayed on the road map only when the degree of congestion in the first and second congestion information is different for the same road. This is because it is sufficient that both the first and second arrow images are displayed on the road map only when the degree of congestion of the first and second congestion information is different for the same road.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the first and second arrow images are always displayed has been described. However, when the scale of the road map is changed, the display of the first and second arrow images on the road map may be stopped if the scale ratio of the changed road map is smaller than the predetermined scale ratio. . If the scale ratio of the road map is small, the possibility that the first and second arrow images displayed on the road map overlap with each other increases. Therefore, when the scale ratio of the road map is smaller than the predetermined scale ratio, And the display of the second arrow image on the road map is stopped. In addition, when displaying the first and second arrow images on the road map is stopped, one of the first and second arrow images is displayed on the road map.

  For example, the user may select whether to display the first and second arrow images. Thereby, the user can select whether to display the first and second arrow images on the road map. In addition, when the user selects not to display the first and second arrow images, one of the first and second arrow images is displayed on the road map.
