Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006042690A2] The invention relates to a method of determining routes between a point of departure (a) and a point of arrival (ß) for a digital road mapping system comprising a set of segments that are representative of a road network. The inventive method comprises the following steps consisting in: receiving a route request containing the points of departure and arrival and the selected, preferred sinuosity level; identifying a plurality of potential routes; assigning a value to each of the potential routes as a function of the global sinuosity index thereof, which is established from the sinuosity index of each of the segments forming the potential routes; and selecting the potential route with the sinuosity index that best corresponds to the sinuosity level of the request.
