Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to navigation systems and methods incorporating altitude data from a Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) network.
Claims20
A vehicle navigation system comprising:
- a DSRC transceiver;
- a processor configured to:
- send to a DSRC network a first DSRC message comprising a real-time vehicle location;
- and
- receive from the DSRC network a second DSRC message comprising navigation routes and altitudes for discrete locations along the navigation routes;
- and
- an interface to:
- display the navigation routes and the altitudes;
- toggle between the navigation routes;
- receive a navigation route selection;
- and
- show the real-time location and a corresponding altitude utilizing dynamic communication with the network.
9 more elements
A method for a vehicle, comprising:
- transmitting, via a transceiver, a current location to a DSRC network;
- receiving, via the transceiver, navigation routes with corresponding altitude data at discrete locations along the navigation routes from the DSRC network;
- toggling, via a processor, between displaying the navigation routes with the corresponding altitude data;
- receiving a selection of one of the navigation routes;
- and
- dynamically displaying a real-time location and altitude along the selected navigation route.
3 more elements
A vehicle navigation system comprising:
- a display interface configured to:
- receive an input requesting a navigation route option;
- transmit the input to a DSRC transceiver for transmission to a DSRC network;
- receive a plurality of navigation route options with corresponding altitude data from infrastructure located in close proximity to the navigation route options;
- display the plurality of navigation routes and corresponding altitude data, the altitude data being at discrete locations along the navigation routes;
- toggle between the multiple navigation route options;
- receive a selection of one of the navigation route options to identify a selected navigation route option;
- and
- dynamically show a real-time location and a real-time altitude of a vehicle that is enabled by dynamic communication between the display interface and the DSRC network.
