Abstract:
1. A pedestrian route navigation system (“PRNS”) in a vehicle for determining a pedestrian route from a final parked position of the vehicle to a predetermined destination, the navigation system comprising: a final parking position unit configured to determine the arrival of the vehicle at the final parked position; a pedestrian route calculation unit configured to determine the pedestrian route from the final parking position to the predetermined destination; a control unit in signal communication with the final parking position unit and the pedestrian route calculation unit, where the control unit is configured to derive data describing the pedestrian route; and a disabling/enabling unit in signal communication with the control unit, where the disabling/enabling unit is configured to check at least one criterion relating to the data describing the pedestrian route other than whether or not the pedestrian route exists, and configured to enable outputting of the data describing the pedestrian route when the criterion is satisfied and to disable outputting of the data when the criterion is not satisfied, where the criterion includes a determination that a structure in which the final parking position is located has more than one exit.
