Abstract:
A route guidance unit includes: a position detection unit configured to detect a position of a host vehicle and a travel lane; a determination unit configured to determine whether the host vehicle should change the travel lane detected by the position detection unit to another lane so as to travel toward a branch point or an intersection on the travel route; and a guide unit configured to provide guidance to change lanes, wherein, when the determination unit determines that the host vehicle should change the travel lane to other lanes sequentially several times, the guide unit provides first guidance at a point at which a distance from the position of the host vehicle to the branch point is shorter than a distance obtained such that a predetermined distance is multiplied by the number of lane changes.

Claim (Index 1):
A route guidance device used for a vehicle which provides a travel route to a predetermined destination or an autonomous vehicle which is autonomously driven along the travel route, the route guidance device comprising:\n a position detection sensor configured to detect a position of a host vehicle and a travel lane; a route retrieval processor configured to retrieve per lane the travel route to the destination from the position of the host vehicle detected by the position detection sensor; a determination processor configured to determine whether the host vehicle should change the travel lane detected by the position detection sensor to another lane several times so as to travel toward a branch point or an intersection on the travel route; and a guide processor configured to provide guidance to change lanes depending on the position of the host vehicle and the travel lane, wherein, when the determination processor determines that the host vehicle should change the travel lane to other lanes sequentially several times, the guide processor provides first guidance at a point at which a distance from the position of the host vehicle to the branch point is longer than a predetermined distance and is shorter than a distance obtained such that the predetermined distance is multiplied by a number of lane changes, wherein the predetermined distance is from a point of last guidance provided by the guide processor to the branch point, and wherein a lane where the first guidance is provided and a lane where the last guidance is provided are different.
