Abstract:
The present invention performs route guidance that excludes a difficult-to-travel section appropriately and provides an alternative route with favorable route quality. A navigation device  200  includes an arithmetic device  204  that, when a route including a difficult-to-travel section is found, identifies the route as a candidate route while adding a predetermined penalty cost to the cost of the route, identifies an alternative route obtained by coupling a first partial route from a constituent node in the difficult-to-travel section of the found route to a destination with a second partial route from the departure point of the found route to a node having already been searched for, identifies the alternative route as a candidate route after adding a coupling cost for reaching from the already-searched node to the certain constituent node in the difficult-to-travel section to costs of the first and second partial routes, selects one of the candidate route with the penalty cost and the candidate route with the coupling cost with the smaller cost as a guidance route.

Claim (Index 9):
The route search method according to  claim 7 , wherein\n when the alternative route has a traffic regulation between the second node and the first node in the difficult-to-travel section, the navigation device rejects the alternative route as the second candidate route.
