Research on experienced route for driving plan services

Driving plan, which is to provide user a route between origin and destination, is a basic and important service of telematics system. Conventional driving plan methods, based on road link properties and shortest route algorithms, seldom consider user driving behaviors and preferences, therefore the generated routes may not be satisfying enough. To solve the problem, this paper proposes a driving plan method by introducing the experiences of local driver, i.e., experienced routes. Moreover, the characteristics of experienced routes, which are helpful to users in choosing suitable routes, are analyzed and presented.
