Abstract
A method for processing GPS route data of a vehicle is proposed, in which the GPS route data are used for the route guidance of the vehicle along a route (1), wherein vehicle positions and an offroad position information or an onroad position information are generated as route data, wherein a vehicle position calculation function for route guidance of the vehicle is used, if erroneous vehicle positions are generated from the GPS route data. Furthermore, a control device for carrying out a method is proposed.
Claims17
A method for processing GPS route data of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- generating, by a GPS system of the vehicle, GPS route data using vehicle positions;
- generating, by the GPS system, an offroad position information or an onroad position information based a position of the vehicle with respect to a road;
- determining, by the GPS system, that the GPS route data contains one or more erroneous vehicle positions based on a deviation from the onroad position information;
- and
- using, by the GPS system, a vehicle position calculation function for route guidance of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle position calculation function includes pre-calculating vehicle positions using the GPS route data, and wherein the GPS system uses pre-calculated vehicle positions from the GPS route data for vehicle route guidance.
