Abstract
A method of operating a navigation system is disclosed. A request for an emergency stop for a vehicle is obtained. The current position of the vehicle is determined and an emergency profile representing a time until stop is generated. A maximum distance that may be traveled within said time until stop is determined and an emergency stop location within the maximum distance is identified.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method of operating a navigation system comprising:
- obtaining a request for an emergency stop for a vehicle that is currently traveling on a road network;
- determining a current position of the vehicle;
- building an emergency profile representing a time until emergency stop;
- determining a maximum distance that may be traveled within said time until emergency stop;
- and
- identifying an emergency stop location within the maximum distance.
3 more elements
A navigation system comprising:
- a processor,
- a geographic database associated with the processor,
- a emergency stop program executed on the processor, wherein the emergency stop program obtains a request for an emergency stop, determines a current position of the navigation system, and obtains data from the geographic database to identify an emergency stop location.
A computer implemented method of operating a navigation system, the method comprising:
- obtaining a request for an emergency stop from an occupant of a vehicle;
- obtaining data from a geographic database associated with the navigation system representing at least two candidate emergency stop locations;
- and
- selecting the candidate emergency stop location that provides greater safety for the occupant of the vehicle.
