System Description

  1. NAVIGATION SYSTEM OUTLINE 
    1. Vehicle position tracking methods

      It is essential that the navigation system correctly tracks the current vehicle position and displays it on the map. There are 2 methods to track the current vehicle position: autonomous (dead reckoning) and GPS* (satellite) navigation. Both navigation methods are used in conjunction with each other.

      *: GPS (Global Positioning System)

      Fig 1: Identifying Vehicle Position Tracking Methods

      Operation Description
      Vehicle Position Calculation The display and navigation module display calculates the current vehicle position (direction and current position) using the direction deviation signal from the gyro sensor and driving distance signal from the vehicle speed sensor and creates the driving route.
      Map Display Processing The display and navigation module display processes the vehicle position data, vehicle driving track and map data from the hard disk drive.
      Map Matching The map data from the hard disk drive is compared to the vehicle position and driving track data. Then, the vehicle position is matched with the nearest road.
      GPS Correction The vehicle position is matched to the position measured by the GPS. Then, the GPS measurement position data is compared with the vehicle position and driving track data. If the position is very different, the GPS measurement position is used.
      Distance Correction The vehicle speed signal includes error caused by tire wear and slippage between the tires and road surface. Distance correction is performed to account for this. The display and navigation module display automatically offsets the signal to make up for the difference between the distance signal and distance data of the map. The offset is automatically updated.

      HINT: 

      The combination of autonomous and GPS navigation makes it possible to display the vehicle position even when the vehicle is in places where the GPS cannot receive a signal. When only autonomous navigation is used, however, the mapping accuracy may slightly decrease.

    2. Autonomous navigation

      This method determines the relative vehicle position based on the driving track determined by the gyro located in the display and navigation module display and the vehicle speed signal.

      1. Gyro sensor

        Used to calculate the direction by detecting angular velocity. It is located in the display and navigation module display.

      2. Vehicle speed signal

        Used to calculate the vehicle driving distance.

    3. GPS* navigation (Satellite navigation)

      This method detects the absolute vehicle position using radio waves from GPS satellites.

      *: GPS satellites were launched by the U.S. Department of Defense for military purposes.

      Number of Satellites Measurement Description
      2 or less Measurement is impossible Vehicle position cannot be obtained because the number of satellites is not enough.
      3 2-dimensional measurement is possible Vehicle position is obtained based on the current longitude and latitude. (This is less precise than 3-dimensional measurement.)
      4 3-dimensional measurement is possible Vehicle position is obtained based on the current longitude, latitude and altitude.
    4. Map matching

      The current driving route is calculated by autonomous navigation (according to the gyro sensor and vehicle speed sensor) and GPS navigation. This information is then compared with possible road shapes from the map data in the hard disk drive and the vehicle position is set onto the most appropriate road.

  3. REMOTE TOUCH OUTLINE 

    HINT: 

    • The navigation system is remotely controlled using the remote touch switch knob and switches.
    • The remote touch is equipped with a feedback force function.
    • When the remote touch switch knob is operated, the built-in 2-axis motors are controlled. The motors are used to provide feedback force for the knob according to the pointer operation displayed on the multi-display.
    • The feedback force of the remote touch allows the users to select icons easily when operating the navigation system.
    1. Remote Touch Switch Knob Operation
      Fig 6: Identifying Touch Switch Knob Operation
      GTY266669Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
      1. Movement of the pointer on the multi-display screen is synchronized with knob operation.

        HINT: 

        • During remote touch switch knob operation, the distance that the knob moves is sent to the display and navigation module display as operational coordinates. The range of operational coordinates for the lateral and longitudinal axes is between 0 and 255.
        • The multi-display also has operational coordinates that range from 0 to 255 for the lateral and longitudinal axes. The display and navigation module display displays the pointer according to the operational coordinates from the knob.
    2. Remote Touch Switch Knob Feedback Force
      Fig 7: Identifying Touch Switch Knob Feedback Force
      GTY258109Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
      1. The remote touch has 2 built-in motors. These motors control both lateral and longitudinal axes and generate feedback force according to remote touch switch knob operation.

        HINT: 

        • There are 3 types of feedback force image areas (Icons, Frames and Others) are provided on the multi-display screen. The feedback force changes depending on the area.
        • The display and navigation module display sends a feedback force request signal to the remote touch according to the pointer location displayed on the multi-display.
        • When the remote touch receives the feedback force request signal, the remote touch controls the motors and generates 3 types of feedback force according to the operation direction of the remote touch switch knob.
        • The strength of feedback force generated by the remote touch can be adjusted. Refer to the owner's service information for further information.
      2. Icon Area

        NOTE:
        • Pressing on the disc by hand or rubbing the disc with a hard cloth may scratch the disc surface.
        • Use of solvents such as record spray, antistatic agents, alcohol, benzine, thinners or a chemical cloth may cause damage to the disc, making the disc unusable.
