Provided are a system and method for a safe taxi service. The method for a safe taxi service in a mobile device includes: transmitting input information regarding a destination to a vehicle information system; periodically receiving information regarding a current location of a vehicle from the vehicle information system; comparing the current location with an expected path to the destination; and transmitting state information to an external system when it is determined, according to the comparing, that the current location deviates from the expected path to the destination to an extent equal to or greater than a predetermined limit.

System and method for off-route determination via threshold for safe taxi service

A method and a terminal for providing a route in a navigation system using a satellite image are provided. The terminal includes a route calculation unit for calculating a route from a current location to a destination when a user inputs the destination, a satellite image requesting unit for requesting a satellite image server for satellite images corresponding to locations on the route and for downloading the requested satellite images, a satellite image storage unit for storing the downloaded satellite images, and a controller for retrieving a satellite image corresponding to the current location from the satellite image storage unit and for displaying the retrieved satellite image simultaneously while downloading the satellite images corresponding to the locations on the route.

Method and terminal for providing a route in a navigation system using satellite image

A method and apparatus for measuring the velocity of a vehicle are provided. An acceleration measurement received from an accelerator and RGI data received from an external information server are stored and an irregularity constant of the accelerator is determined. It is determined whether the vehicle is in a stationary state by analyzing the acceleration measurement. If the vehicle is not in the stationary state, the inclination angle of a road on which the vehicle is traveling is calculated using a plurality of three-dimensional shape points included in the RGI data. A gravity acceleration component is compensated for from the acceleration measurement using the road inclination angle. The velocity of the vehicle is calculated using the compensated acceleration measurement.

Method and apparatus for measuring velocity of land vehicle using accelerometer and route guidance information data

A method and an apparatus for detecting location of a movable body in a navigation system comprising a map data detector for detecting map information of a region corresponding to location information from an external digital map storage on the basis of the location information of the movable body transmitted from sensors sensing the location and traveling information of the movable body; a memory for storing the map information detected from the map data detector; a filter for computing an optimum location of the movable body including road error included in the map information on the basis of the location and traveling information of the movable body transmitted from the sensors; and a map-matching unit for receiving the optimum location information of the movable body from the filter and correcting the optimum location information by matching the optimum location information and the map information stored in the memory. The method and apparatus can apply a constraint to the location of the movable body by computing the location of the movable body including a width of road, in comparison with a case using only direction of road as a measured value. Further, the method and apparatus increases accuracy of location determination of the movable body by performing real-time correction of the sensor information including error whenever the sensor information is inputted, using the constraint model including the map information.
