determining a vehicle attribute of the surrounding vehicle based on comparing the capture data to the trained data; determining a vehicle position relative to a current location based on a vehicle distance meeting or exceeding a distance threshold; and controlling a vehicle operation with a control unit based on the vehicle type, the vehicle attribute, the vehicle position, or a combination thereof for adjusting the vehicle distance between a user's vehicle and a surrounding vehicle. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of operation of a navigation system comprising: determining a vehicle type of a surrounding vehicle based on comparing a capture data to a trained data; determining a vehicle attribute of the surrounding vehicle based on comparing the capture data to the trained data; determining a vehicle position relative to a current location based on a vehicle distance meeting or exceeding a distance threshold; and controlling a vehicle operation with a control unit based on the vehicle type, the vehicle attribute, the vehicle position, or a combination thereof for adjusting the vehicle distance between a user's vehicle and a surrounding vehicle. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising determining a travel context based on the current location for traveling in a geographic area. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising generating an operation profile based on an operation pattern of the user's vehicle. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein controlling the vehicle operation includes controlling the vehicle operation based on determining an addendum feature for changing a travel speed. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein controlling the vehicle operation includes controlling the vehicle operation based on an operation profile for adjusting the vehicle distance between the user's vehicle and the surrounding vehicle. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein controlling the vehicle operation includes controlling the vehicle operation by prioritizing the vehicle type over the vehicle attribute based on a travel context. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein controlling the vehicle operation includes controlling the vehicle operation by prioritizing the vehicle attribute over the vehicle type based on a travel context. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein controlling the vehicle operation includes setting the vehicle distance, the distance threshold, or a combination thereof for the vehicle type different from another different instance of the vehicle type for adjusting the vehicle distance between the user's vehicle and the surrounding vehicle. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein controlling the vehicle operation includes setting the vehicle distance, the distance threshold, or a combination thereof for the vehicle attribute different from another different instance of the vehicle attribute for adjusting the vehicle distance between the user's vehicle and the surrounding vehicle. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising determining an operation pattern based on the vehicle between the user's vehicle and the surrounding vehicle meets, exceeds, or below the distance threshold. ### Claim 11 A navigation system comprising: a control unit for: determining a vehicle type of a surrounding vehicle based on comparing a capture data to a trained data; determining a vehicle attribute of the surrounding vehicle based on comparing the capture data to the trained data; determining a vehicle position relative to a current location based on a vehicle distance meeting or exceeding a distance threshold; controlling a vehicle operation based on the vehicle type, the vehicle attribute, the vehicle position, or a combination thereof; and a communication unit, coupled to the control unit, for transmitting the vehicle operation for adjusting the vehicle distance between a user's vehicle and a surrounding vehicle. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for determining a travel context based on the current location for traveling in a geographic area. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for generating an operation profile based on an operation pattern of the user's vehicle. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for controlling the vehicle operation based on determining an addendum feature for changing a travel speed. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for controlling the vehicle operation based on an operation profile for adjusting the vehicle distance between the user's vehicle and the surrounding vehicle. ### Claim 16 A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions for execution, the instructions comprising: determining a vehicle type of a surrounding vehicle based on comparing a capture data to a trained data; determining a vehicle attribute of the surrounding vehicle based on comparing the capture data to the trained data; determining a vehicle position relative to a current location based on a vehicle distance meeting or exceeding a distance threshold; and controlling a vehicle operation based on the vehicle type, the vehicle attribute, the vehicle position, or a combination thereof for adjusting the vehicle distance between a user's vehicle and a surrounding vehicle. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 16 further comprising determining a travel context based on the current location for traveling in a geographic area. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 16 further comprising generating an operation profile based on an operation pattern of the user's vehicle. ### Claim 19 (depends on 16) The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 16 wherein controlling the vehicle operation includes controlling the vehicle operation based on determining an addendum feature for changing a travel speed. ### Claim 20 (depends on 16) The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 16 wherein controlling the vehicle operation includes controlling the vehicle operation based on an operation profile for adjusting the vehicle distance between the user's vehicle and the surrounding vehicle.
