Abstract: This paper examines existing and potential applications of navigation technology to motor vehicles that operate primarily upon streets and highways. Applications are described and representative systems approaches are outlined in three broad categories; driver information, traffic management, and fleet management. Driver information systems include those that develop and present navigation information in various forms to aid the driver in reaching the desired destination. The traffic management category includes navigation systems that consider real-time traffic conditions in determining optimum routes and, consequently, contribute to the overall improvement of traffic flow. Fleet management applications include automatic vehicle location monitoring systems (which do not necessarily provide navigation information to vehicle drivers) as well as systems which provide routing or step-by-step route guidance. The most comprehensive fleet management applications of vehicular navigation may also include command and control functions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of computer-assisted navigation systems and the key areas for future research are identified, including spatial cognition, way-finding, spatial search, the impact of spatial information on trip behavior, and market responses to potentially different travel patterns.
Abstract: Computer-assisted navigation systems provide navigation information to automobile drivers and are now available. They are capable of storing, processing and displaying information about street networks. The display typically mimics a printed street map. The underlying capabilities of these systems present unique opportunities for geographers to study spatial cognition, wayfinding, spatial search, the impact of spatial information on trip behavior, and market responses to potentially different travel patterns. Such systems are reviewed and key areas for future research are identified.

TL;DR: The CARIN system is a completely self-contained car navigation system using a Compact Disc as a storage medium for the vector coded road map and an important part of the system is the user interface.
Abstract: The CARIN system is a completely self-contained car navigation system using a Compact Disc as a storage medium for the vector coded road map. Once knowing where the roads are, the performance of the dead reckoning navigation technique based on information from an electronic compass and a set of wheel-sensors is improved by map matching. An important part of the system is the user interface. When road safety is at stake, no concessions are made.
