Abstract
An approach is provided for using a passenger-based driving profile. The approach involves detecting an identity of a user of a vehicle. The approach also involves retrieving a passenger profile of the user based on the identity. The passenger profile is generated based on sensor data indicating a reaction of the user to at least one vehicle driving behavior previously experienced by the user as a vehicle passenger. The approach further involves configuring the vehicle based on the passenger profile.
Claims13
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- detecting, by a processor, an identity of a user of a vehicle through manual input at a user interface in the vehicle, an automated sensor in the vehicle, or a combination thereof;
- retrieving, by the processor, a passenger profile of the user based on the identity, wherein the passenger profile is generated based on sensor data indicating a reaction of the user to at least one vehicle driving behavior previously experienced by the user as a vehicle passenger, wherein the reaction of the user in the passenger profile comprises a first reaction of the user to the at least one vehicle driving behavior as a driver of the vehicle, and a second reaction of the user to the at least one vehicle driving behavior as a passenger of the vehicle not driving the vehicle, and wherein the vehicle driving behavior is selected from at least one of an acceleration pattern, braking pattern, distance to a neighboring vehicle, or speed in a curve;
- configuring, by the processor, the vehicle to operate based on the passenger profile, wherein the configuring of the vehicle comprises:
- adapting a driving style of a vehicle based on the passenger profile,
- computing at least one navigation route for the vehicle, wherein the at least one navigation route is linked with an estimated time of arrival,
- presenting in the user interface, the estimated time of arrival and a comfort level for the user for each computed navigation route;
- and
- controlling movement of the vehicle based on the passenger profile;
- retrieving one or more other passenger profiles of one or more other passengers;
- determining whether a common denominator driving behavior from among the passenger profile and the one or more other passenger profiles;
- and
- when no common denominator driving behavior can be determined, alerting the passengers of an incompatibility.

An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
- detect an identity of a user of a vehicle through manual input at a user interface in the vehicle, an automated sensor in the vehicle, or a combination thereof;
- retrieve a passenger profile of the user based on the identity, wherein the passenger profile is generated based on sensor data indicating a reaction of the user to at least one vehicle driving behavior previously experienced by the user as a vehicle passenger, wherein the reaction of the user in the passenger profile comprises a first reaction of the user to the at least one vehicle driving behavior as a driver of the vehicle, and a second reaction of the user to the at least one vehicle driving behavior as a passenger of the vehicle not driving the vehicle, and wherein the vehicle driving behavior is selected from at least one of an acceleration pattern, braking pattern, distance to a neighboring vehicle, or speed in a curve;
- configure the vehicle to operate based on the passenger profile, wherein the configuring of the vehicle comprises:
- adapting a driving style of the vehicle based on the passenger profile,
- computing at least one navigation route for the vehicle, wherein the at least one navigation route is linked with an estimated time of arrival,
- presenting in the user interface, the estimated time of arrival and a comfort level for the user for each computed navigation route;
- and
- controlling movement of the vehicle based on the passenger profile;
- retrieve one or more other passenger profiles of one or more other passengers;
- determine whether a common denominator driving behavior from among the passenger profile and the one or more other passenger profiles;
- and
- when no common denominator driving behavior can be determined, alert the passengers of an incompatibility.

- and
- controlling movement of the vehicle based on the passenger profile;
- retrieving one or more other passenger profiles of one or more other passengers;
- determining whether a common denominator driving behavior from among the passenger profile and the one or more other passenger profiles;
- and
- when no common denominator driving behavior can be determined, alerting the passengers of an incompatibility.
