Abstract

See full text

A navigation device comprises a display, a data storage element, a passenger sensor, and a processor. The display may communicate routing data to a driver of a vehicle. The data storage element may store cartographic data including high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane data. The passenger sensor may sense a number of passengers in the vehicle. The processor may be coupled with the display and the data storage element and may be configured to receive the number of sensed passengers in the vehicle, determine if the vehicle is eligible to travel through one or more HOV lanes based on the number of sensed passengers and HOV lane data, determine a route that includes the one or more HOV lanes if the vehicle is eligible to travel in the one or more HOV lanes, and provide a visual indication of the route to be shown on the display.
