In-car Navigation Sysytem ECO Route Planning Research

Today the people pay more attention on Environmental protection and the vehicle has become very popular in the family. How to reduce the exhaust emissions of vehicle with little effect on the user experience has become a practically significant topic. The paper focuses on the route optimization and resolves the problem that most of navigation products provide users the route without any energy consumption. The paper proposes an idea that different vehicle models should match the different ECO route. The paper studies how to get a suitable route for the vehicle based on the fuel consumption parameters of the car and reduce the energy consumption. It plays a very big role both in economic and environmental.ECO route calculation cost module was proposed in this paper. The algorithm was based on bidirectional A star algorithm and refer to traditional fastest and shortest route cost module algorithm. And also the fuel consumption data was applied in Ecology cost module. The algorithm can get a route which is the most fuel-efficient for a special vehicle type. Then algorithm was improved from the user experience to get a route which can be accepted by more users. At last, a simple improvement on ECO cost module for electric mobile was proposed and verified. All the search results were implemented, analyzed, verified and improved on the special navigation system.
