Title: Procede et appareil de generation simplifiee d'informations relatives au trafic
Inventor: ADACHI SHINYA
IPC: G06T11/60
Filed: 2002-09-12
Abstract: Des informations relatives au trafic sont générées de manière efficace par une carte morphée à partir des informations du trafic comprenant <= des données de configuration de route >= et <= des données de position d'événement>=. La correspondance entre chaque liaison sur une carte numérique et la forme rectangulaire constituant un module de présentation d'événement de la carte morphée est préalablement établie et conservée dans une unité de données de carte morphée (25). A la réception des données de configuration de route, la carte est mise en correspondance avec les données de carte numérique par un module de mise en correspondance (22), et une section de route sur la carte numérique est identifiée. A partir des données reçues sur les informations relatives à l'événement et des données de carte numérique (23) de la section de route précitée, une liaison sur la carte numérique correspondant à la position de l'événement est identifiée. A partir de la correspondance préalablement établie pour la liaison, la forme rectangulaire affichant les informations relatives à l'événement sur la base des données d'informations relatives à l'événement est déterminée sur la carte morphée. Ainsi, à partir <= des données de configuration de route >= et <= des données de position d'événement >=, il est possible de générer efficacement des informations relatives au trafic de niveau 2.
