Patent CA-2519087-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ADACHI SHINYA
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 2004-03-17
Abstract: It is possible to provide a method for transmitting run trace data capable of accurately reporting the run trace with a small amount of data in a probe car system. An on-vehicle FCD re-samples the run route which the vehicle has run while measuring its position with a re-sample interval length set in accordance with a range of curvature of the road, expresses the position information on the sampling point as a parameter having a statistical deflection, encodes the parameter value into a variable length code, and transmits it to an FCD collection device. The FCD collection device decodes the reception data, reproduces the position information at the sampling point, and specifies the run route by the map matching using the position information. By encoding, it is possible to significantly reduce the data amount of the run trace. Moreover, when the probe car runs along a road having a sharp curve, the sampling point interval is set shorter and the run trace can be accurately grasped by a center.
