Dynamic Route Planning – Drp - VDO PC 5200 Quick Operating Manual

CONTENTS
■
In the symbol display
1 TMC symbol of the next road obstruction
on the planned route.
If a number of obstructions exist, this is
indicated by means of a second TMC
symbol which is partially obscured by
the first.
2 Length of the section in which the traffic
obstruction is located.
If you are already located in the af-
fected section: distance to end of the
section of route with the road obstruc-
tion.
3 Distance to the next road obstruction
on the planned route.
4 Simplified presentation of the route
(black bar) and location of the road ob-
struction (red segment). Vehicle posi-
tion is shown as a circle with an arrow
inside.
OPERATION
✎
The system only displays TMC messages
which you have activated under "Mes-
sage selection" in the "Info" or "Settings"
menu.
✎
In the case of urgent traffic messages
within a radius of 50 km of the vehicle's
current position, a special message ap-
pears on the screen (e.g. vehicle on
wrong carriageway). This message can
be hidden by confirming with the OK
button. In addition, this information is
provided as an audible message.
✎
Road obstructions on the route are only
displayed when the guidance function is
activated.
SETUP
Dynamic Route Planning –
DRP
With the help of the TMC traffic information,
the dynamic route planning – DRP – integrates
the entire traffic situation in an adjustable
radius (traffic horizon) around the current
position into its calculation of the route. If a
traffic obstruction (e.g. stationary traffic) is
reported via TMC for the planned route, the
navigation system will analyse the information
and calculate the anticipated delay.
If there is a traffic problem on the planned
route, you will be informed of this by the
navigation system and may decide whether
the system should take a detour by changing
the route in order to avoid the segment con-
cerned or whether it would be more sensible
just to drive through the problem.
The basis for the possible delay due to a traf-
fic obstruction and calculated by the naviga-
tion system is data that the system receives
via the currently selected TMC station. The
actual delay may deviate from the calculation.
