Route guidance systems are predominant examples for in-vehicle telematic systems. The format in which the information is presented in these systems determines the ease of interacting with the system and may influence driving performance. An experiment compared the effects of a table, a separable bar graph and an integrated object display on the time required for route selection, driving performance and subjective evaluations of route guidance information. The integrated display was superior in performance times and participants' preferences and led to the least lane deviations in a driving simulator study. The tabular display led to the most accurate performance. The study provides information on issues related to information display in telematic systems and on the effects the display and system use may have on driving performance. These issues need to be taken into account when designing next generation telematic systems.

This paper deals with novel distributed route guidance that cooperates with self-organizing control of traffic signal networks. Self-organizing control of traffic signals provides a fully distributed approach to coordinate a number of signals distributed in a wide area based on local information of traffic flows so that split and offset control parameters between traffic signals are adjusted for efficient traffic flow. The self-organizing route guidance systems (SRGS) concept is introduced for efficient route guidance to facilitate offset adjustment of the self-organizing control of signal networks by self-organizing multilayered vector fields. Simulation demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposal under nonstationary traffic conditions.

With the increasing popularity of route guidance systems, it becomes more important for such highly advanced applications as the cross detection to induce road maps with a higher accuracy. In this paper, we present a novel approach to induce higher-precision maps with the help of the GPS data, mainly identify intersections, curves, and bifurcation junctions. Our approach consists of several successive processing steps: Firstly, try to find out areas where the distribution of GPS feature points is very intensive. Then, analyze the characteristic of the intersections and attach some restrictions to filter out the intersections, curves and bifurcation junctions which meet with our conditions. We also propose this method to improve the efficient of our algorithm. Among the new contributions are a creative method that connects both the TargetRegion_Detect algorithm and the AbnormalPointFilter algorithm which helps us identify the three forms of roads mentioned above and induce road maps with a higher accuracy.

GPS-based route-guidance systems are used for various types of transport, such as airplanes, boats, cars and motorbikes. Such systems have also been developed for pedestrians, focusing initially on hikers in rough terrain. Recently, some devices were developed for pedestrians in urban environments. This study focuses on the ways in which route instructions can be presented to urban pedestrians with such GPS-receivers.
