Abstract :
Vehicular navigation is becoming increasingly difficult due to the high volume of traffic. Navigation systems are increasingly becoming common with the advent of digital maps. In this paper, we propose a navigation system from one place to another based on fuzzy logic considering real world parameters such as distance, traffic density, visual range and re-routing as inputs and based on these factors, a rating is designated for each path and the best path is chosen out of all possible paths. Simulation was done using MATLAB and the results were found to be satisfactory in accordance to the inputs provided.
