Navigation systems' classification, their functional range and information flows within them

Increasing content of telematic applications within transport systems, enables enhancing transfer and processing of data concerned with transport process performance. This is consequently causing developing possibilities of transport monitoring systems, being advanced navigation systems. The thesis describes classification of navigation applications used within transport systems, basing on their functional range. Information flows among their particular modules have been shown, plus their priorities in different modes of transport. Paper is also including a trial to foresee changes about range and priorities of data exchanged within different modes of transport, that will take place together with evolution of transport systems, and increasing traffic of different transport means.
