Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/083307
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for guiding a user of a radiolocation-based, in particular a satellite radiolocation-based, navigation device along a route in order to search for a parking space in the region of a destination. In the method, an endless route along a route map around the destination is calculated in the navigation device, and the user is guided along said route until the user has found a parking space. According to the invention, the endless route is calculated and compiled from route portions using the following criteria: • i) the distance of the respective route portion from the destination and ii) the probability of finding a parking space on the respective route portion within a specified time span. Furthermore, the successively set route portions of the endless route are selected in a weighted manner when calculation and compiling the endless route using the relevance of each criteria i) and ii). The invention further relates to a method for ascertaining the probability of finding a parking space on a specified travel portion of an area which has a plurality of travel portions within a specified time span and to a method for displaying the probability of finding a parking space in a specified travel portion on a radiolocation-based navigation device.
