Ergonomic map information system

Abstract

A system for the ergonomic communication of a map portion is presented. The map portion may include map information, map background, and additional information. The system includes an interface control unit that may include a graphics control unit, a processor and a memory. The system may include one or more modules for creating an ergonomic presentation including: a border module that may add the additional information to the representation; an adaptation module for adapting the map information and map background and/or additional information with one another, such as within a maximum color contrast; a scale-dependent module that may adapt the color intensity and width of map information as a function of scale and type; and a smoothing module to increase the quality of the map portion representation. The system may include a method for controlling the representation of a map portion.
