1 Advancing Routing Systems

“Cognitive Load Routing Metric for Vehicle Guidance” is, in the simplest terms possible, a method for finding the best route to a destination. But the system goes far beyond finding the quickest way via Google Maps — it factors in a range of other parameters.

Basically, the system can use infrastructure information to determine the best route based on how difficult to drive it may be. It can take into account the number of lanes and narrowness of a road, as well as how many traffic signals or street lights there are. It combines those factors with weather and real-time vehicular and pedestrian traffic data to find the best route.
