Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9210824A1] Proposed is a vehicle-guidance and target-tracking system in which a destination is entered into a vehicle-mounted terminal by keying in the place and street name in clear text. The vehicle-mounted terminal is connected by communications link with a beacon in which the street names in the various places, and the corresponding map coordinates, are stored. When requested by the vehicle-mounted terminal, the beacon extracts the appropriate map coordinates and transmits them to the vehicle. Other data can also be transmitted in the transmitted message, such as traffic information or street maps. The system can also be used for the automatic calculation of road tolls.
