In Fig. 2; Transport information obtains positional information and the destination information that portion 24 obtains the vehicle 12 that has sent path request, and obtains the identification information of the piece corresponding with the place of this vehicle 12 and destination with reference to the positional information of the boundary node of each piece of in map DB22, storing.In addition, transport information obtains the temporary transient storage of portion 24 from various transport information such as the congestion information at VICS center 14 and/or traffic restricted informations, and upgrades the information in the map DB22.
26 storages of piece internal information storage part constitute the information of each piece of road-map, and as shown in Figure 5, it possesses: pheromones scale 50, mobile probability tables 52, link cost table 54, main body routing table 56, optimal path table 58.These various tables 50~58 are provided with by each piece that constitutes road-map.
Here, so-called pheromones amount is the index of amount of the vehicle of certain link of expression (between node), for example, confirms according to " is 10 under 5 situation in automobile storage " such benchmark.The pheromones amount confirms as the function of time t for example and decays along with the process of time t, for example decays with one one-tenths degree during a second.In addition, the time of decay is not limited to one second at interval, and attenuation ratio also is not limited to one one-tenth.Pheromones amount τ between nodes X and node Y
XyRepresent by for example following formula.
[formula 1]
τ
xy(t+1)=(1-ρ)τ
xy(t)+Δτ
xy
Here, τ
Xy(t) be pheromones amount under the time t, ρ is an attenuation rate, Δ τ
XyBe to the pheromones amount that increases between the time (t+1) (passing through of the main body of afterwards stating is several) at time t.In addition, pheromones amount τ
XyBe not limited to following formula, for example, also can comprise from the component of adjacent link with certain proportion transmission (transmission pheromones).In addition, under the situation (Δ τ is zero situation in the given time) that the pheromones amount does not increase in the given time, also can the value of τ be set at zero.
So-called link cost is the weighted value η of the distance of certain link of expression (between node), and its positional information that is based on the node of map DB22 storage is calculated.The value of η is less under the short situation of the distance between link, and the value of η is bigger under the long situation of the distance of link.
In addition, move probability ρ and represent the probability from certain node motion to another adjacent node, it is big more to move probability ρ, and then the ratio passed through of vehicle is high more, and expression is best driving path.From the mobile probability ρ of nodes X to node Y
XyCan represent by for example following formula.
[formula 2]
Here, η
Xy(t) be the nodes X under the time t, the link cost between Y, α is positive constant, and β is the constant of bearing.In addition, in following formula, Y representes the node adjacent with certain nodes X.According to following formula; Under the little situation of the value of big situation of the value of pheromones amount τ and/or link cost η; Internodal mobile probability uprises, under the big situation of the value of little situation of the value of pheromones amount τ and/or link cost η, and internodal mobile probability step-down.
Fig. 6 representes an example of the relation between the adjacent node in the piece.In the example of Fig. 6, confirm and node N
xAdjacent Y1, Y2, these three nodes of Y3 between each node, confirm to move probability ρ, pheromones amount τ, link cost η, and these values are stored in pheromones scale 50 respectively, move in probability tables 52, the link cost table 54.
Fig. 7 representes the example that the data of pheromones scale 50 constitute.Pheromones scale 50 produces the data of the internodal pheromones amount τ in node D1~this piece 44 of D3 storage by each of piece 44.
In Fig. 7, τ
O1N1Pheromones amount when (D1) expression will be produced node and be set at D1, between node O1 and the node N1.In pheromones scale 50 data of the plain amount of canned data carry out at every turn by after the node searching that carries out of the main body stated upgrade when handling.Likewise, move probability tables 52, link cost table 54 and produce internodal mobile probability ρ and link cost η in node D1~D3 storage block 44 by each respectively.In addition, pheromones scale 50, to move probability tables 52, link cost table 54 (be common for O1~O3) in this embodiment for whole nodes that change over to.
The temporary transient storage of main body routing table 56 by after the main body stated carry out, arrive changing node over to and producing the path of node in the piece 44.Here; So-called main body (agent); Be illustrated in the vehicle that moves in the piece 44 hypothetically; Each main body with from a plurality of change that node confirms at random over to change node over to be starting point and be that impact point moves with the predetermined node that produces, and the internodal mobile foundation in the piece is moving the mobile probability that probability tables is stored.That is, under the situation that has a plurality of nodes adjacent (for example, the node Y1 of Fig. 6, Y2, Y3), moving between the high node of probability (for example, at ρ with certain node (for example, the nodes X of Fig. 6)
Xy1Under the maximum situation, between nodes X, Y1) probability that passes through uprises.
In addition, at main body routing table 56, be provided with and represent whether the path that main body is passed through is the best sign that changes node over to, produces internodal optimal path.The best in the optimal path table 58 that this best sign is stated after being stored in is stored under condition of different " 0 " through the storage " 1 " under the consistent situation of process node of passing through of node with main body.Whether the driving path that thus, can detect each main body is best.
Optimal path table 58 changes node and the information of the path node that produces node storage representation optimal path and the information of path over to by piece 44 interior each.In this embodiment, so-called optimal path means from changing node over to the shortest path that produces node.For example, node will be set at " O1 ", the optimal path that produces under the situation that node is set at " D1 " is node O1, node N1, node N3, node D1 will changing over to, and the formed path in this path is L11.Likewise, node will be set at " O2 ", the optimal path that produces under the situation that node is set at " D3 " is node O2, node N1, node N4, node D3 will changing over to, and the formed path in this path is L23.
Figure 10 representes an example of the mobile route of main body.Its node that changes over to as starting point of this main body A G1 is confirmed as " O1 ", according to internodal mobile probability, between node, moves.Main body A G1 arrives through node N2, node N3 and produces node D1 as the destination.And; Path generation portion 28 compares the process node of the formed process of this main body A G1 node with storage in optimal path table 58 in the piece; Under condition of different, the path that is judged as this main body A G1 is not best, and the best sign of the correspondence in the main body routing table 56 is set at " 0 ".
Figure 11 representes an example of the mobile route of another main body A G2.Its node that changes over to as starting point of this main body A G2 is confirmed as " O2 ", according to internodal mobile probability, between node, moves.Main body A G2 arrives through node N1, node N3 and produces node D1 as the destination.And; Path generation portion 28 compares the process node of the formed process of this main body A G2 node with storage in optimal path table 58 in the piece; Under the situation of unanimity, the path that is judged as this main body A G2 is for best, and the best sign of the correspondence in the main body routing table 56 is set at " 1 ".
That is, path generation portion 28 amounts to by the pass through number of links of each link to whole main bodys according to the process nodal information of storage in the main body routing table 56 in the piece.And, for example, the number of pass times of the main body between link XY is confirmed as the Δ τ of above-mentioned formula (1)
Xy,, upgrade the pheromones amount (local updating) between link XY according to above-mentioned formula (1).Such local update processing produces node by each link and each and carries out.
And then path generation portion 28 has passed through in existence under the situation of main body in the path consistent with the optimal path information of storage in optimal path table 58 in the piece, for the path link corresponding of passing through with this main body, to the Δ τ of above-mentioned formula (1)
XyValue add a certain amount of (overall situation upgrade).For example, exist passed through and change node " O1 " over to, to produce node " D1 " pairing best through node " O1, N1, N3, D1 " under the situation of identical main body through node, to Δ τ
O1, N1, Δ τ
N1, N3, Δ τ
N3, N1Value add a certain amount of respectively.Thus, because optimal path is compiled more pheromones, so can extract optimal path efficiently.
And path generation portion 28 upgrades each internodal mobile probability based on above-mentioned formula (2) in the piece after pheromones scale 50 is upgraded.In addition, path generation portion 28 replaces with the path of storage in this main body routing table 56 in the piece under the situation in the path that in main body routing table 56, stores lower than the path cost of in optimal path table 58, storing (distance is short).Thus, can optimal path be upgraded.
28 pairs of each pieces 44 that constitutes road-map 40 of path generation portion in the piece, the plain scale 50 of lastest imformation, mobile probability tables 52 and optimal path table 58.
Whole route search unit 30 extract with reference to the optimal path table 28 of each piece that generates by generation portion in path in the piece 28 each piece from changing node over to the range information that produces node; Through with its combination, and extract driving path from the current location of vehicle to the destination.
Figure 12 is illustrated in and extracts in the whole route search unit 30 from the example of the starting point node ON arrival corresponding with the current location of vehicle as the driving path of the peripheral node DN of the destination of vehicle.Whole route search unit 30 is based on sending from vehicle 12 and confirming 12 existing on vehicle (starting point piece) 64 and starting point node ON in the positional information that transport information obtains the vehicle of obtaining the portion 24.Likewise, confirm the peripheral node DN of existing of destination (terminal point piece) 65 and this destination based on the destination information that sends from vehicle 12.
Whole route search unit 30 reads the nodal information and the cost table of starting point piece and terminal point piece from map DB22, and changes node over to and produce the cost information (range information) between the node from the information and these that change node over to and produce node that the optimal path table 58 corresponding with the piece of the certain limit that comprises starting point piece and terminal point piece reads each piece.And whole route search unit 30 is based on the euclidean distance between node pair information that is read, and through for example Di Jiesitefa, extracts the breast the tape driving path of node DN from starting point node ON.In the example of Figure 12, obtain changing node 66 over to and producing node 67 of adjacent piece from starting point node ON, likewise calculate changing node over to and producing node of each piece later on.And, extract the driving path that arrives peripheral node DN through the changing node (piece adjacent produce node) 68 over to of terminal point piece with the terminal point piece.
Below, use Figure 13,14 process flow diagram that the work of the guider that is formed by said structure is described.Figure 13 is the process flow diagram that is illustrated in the processing of the optimal path that extracts each piece in the piece in the path generation portion 28.In the piece path generation portion 28 by each piece set as the arrival target of main body produce node (S10), select the node that changes over to of main body at random, and in the selected node configuration main body (S11) that changes over to.
Then, path generation portion 28 makes main body move in piece according at the internodal mobile probability that moves probability tables 52 storages in the piece, and the information (S12) of the node (through node) that passes through in main body routing table 56 these main bodys of storage.
In the piece path generation portion 28 detect each main body whether from change over to node through mobile in the pre-determined number TH arrived set produce node (S13).Main body does not have to arrive (being " denying " among the step S13) under the situation that produces node in pre-determined number TH, delete the information of passing through node of this main body.Thus, can get rid of effectively many through the path, to the information of the inoperative main body of extraction of optimal path.
Arrived through mobile in the pre-determined number TH under the situation (in step S13, being " being ") that produces node in this main body; Path generation portion 28 detects whether m main body arrived is produced node in the piece, and whether the quantity of the main body of promptly storing at main body routing table 56 has reached m (S15).Its result (is " denying ") in step S15 under the situation that has arrived the discontented m of main body quantity that produces node, turn back to step S11 once more, other main body is configured in changes node over to, moves with the above-mentioned main body that likewise in piece, makes.Thus, can access pheromones scale 50, move the required quantity of the renewal of probability tables 52 and optimal path table 58 main body pass through nodal information.
On the other hand; (in step S15, be " being ") having arrived under the situation that the main body quantity that produces node reached m; The nodal information that passes through that the interior path generation portion 28 of piece is based on the main body of main body routing table 56 storages comes the plain scale 50 of lastest imformation, and upgrades mobile probability tables 52 (S16) based on the pheromones scale 50 after upgrading.Thus, can improve pheromones amount and mobile probability, and can extract optimal path efficiently for optimal path.
In addition; In the piece path generation portion 28 from the main body of main body routing table 56 storages pass through that nodal information obtains, from change over to node to the distance that produces node than the short situation of the distance of storage optimal path table 58 under, upgrade the information (S17) of this optimal path table 58.Thus, upgrade the optimal path of each piece.
And whether 28 pairs of whole node detection that produce of in piece, confirming of path generation portion have carried out above-mentioned processing (update processing of various tables) (S18) in the piece.Under the situation that produces node that the residual update processing that various tables are arranged does not finish, (be " denying " among the step S18), return step S10 once more, the other node that produces is carried out same update processing.
On the other hand, be through with (being " being " among the step S18) under the situation of update processing whole in the piece being produced node, the extraction processing of the optimal path in the piece finishes.Path generation portion 28 continues (perhaps with certain hour at interval) and carries out the extraction processing of above-mentioned optimal path in the piece.Thus, the whole pieces that constitute map image are carried out the extraction processing of above-mentioned optimal path.
