Abstract
Systems and methods for route planning. The method includes acquiring, using processing circuitry, travel information. The travel information includes a user destination. Further, the method includes determining, using the processing circuitry, an emotional state of a user based on at least one of a plurality of factors, determining a route plan based on the user destination and the emotional state of the user; and control an aspect of the vehicle based on the route plan.
Claims19
A method for route planning of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- acquiring, using processing circuitry, travel information, the travel information including a user destination;
- determining, using the processing circuitry, an emotional state of a user based on a plurality of factors;
- determining, using the processing circuitry, a route plan for the vehicle based on the user destination and the emotional state of the user;
- and
- controlling an aspect of the vehicle based on the route plan, the aspect including at least a climate control setting of the vehicle,
- wherein the emotional state is determined as a weighted sum of the plurality of factors according to:
- Emotional state=(factor1×weight1)+(factor2×weight2)+ . . . +(factorn×weightn)
- where n is a number of the plurality of factors, and weight1 . . . n is a multiplier for each factor1 . . . n, at least one weight being less than 1, and the weight1 . . . n are retrieved from a look-up table.
A system for route planning of a vehicle, the system comprising:
- one or more sensors;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to
- acquire travel infoiliiation, the travel information including a user destination,
- determine an emotional state of a user based on a plurality of factors, the plurality of factors including readings from the one or more sensors,
- determine a route plan for the vehicle based on the user destination and the emotional state of the user, and
- control an aspect of the vehicle based on the route plan, the aspect including at least a climate control setting of the vehicle,
- wherein the emotional state is determined as a weighted sum of the plurality of factors according to:
- Emotional state=(factor1×weight1)+(factor2×weight2)+ . . . +(factorn×weightn)
- where n is a number of the plurality of factors, and weight1 . . . n is a multiplier for each factor1 . . . n, at least one weight being less than 1, and the weight1 . . . n are retrieved from a look-up table.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer-readable instructions therein which when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a method for providing a route plan, the method comprising:
- acquiring travel information, the travel information including a user destination;
- determining an emotional state of a user based on a plurality of factors;
- determining a route plan for the vehicle based on the user destination and the emotional state of the user;
- and
- controlling an aspect of the vehicle based on the route plan, the aspect including at least a climate control setting of the vehicle,
- wherein the emotional state is determined as a weighted sum of the plurality of factors according to:
- Emotional state=(factor1×weight1)+(factor2×weight2)+ . . . +(factorn×weightn)
- where n is a number of the plurality of factors, and weight1 . . . n is a multiplier for each factor1 . . . n, at least one weight being less than 1, and the weight1 . . . n are retrieved from a look-up table.
