Abstract
The present application relates to providing alert notifications of high-risk driving areas in a connected vehicle by calculating a first navigational route between a host vehicle location and a destination, transmitting the first navigational route via a wireless network, receiving via a wireless network an indication of a high-risk area in response to the first navigational route, generating a second navigational route in response to the high-risk area, presenting the second navigational route to a vehicle occupant via a user interface and prompting user action.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a receiver operative to receive data indicative of a high-risk area;
- a processor operative generate a first navigational route, to compare the first navigational route to the data indicative of the high-risk area, and to generate a second navigational route in response to the first navigational route including the high-risk area;
- and
- a user interface to display the second navigational route to a vehicle driver.
A method performed by a processor comprising:
- calculating a first navigational route between a host vehicle location and a destination;
- transmitting the first navigational route via a wireless network;
- receiving via a wireless network an indication of a high-risk area in response to the first navigational route;
- generating a second navigational route in response to the high-risk area;
- and
- presenting the second navigational route to a vehicle occupant via a user interface.
An advanced driver assistance system for controlling a host vehicle comprising:
- a global positioning system sensor for detecting the host vehicle location;
- a user interface for receiving a user input indicative of a destination and to display a navigational route and an alternative route;
- a memory operative to store a map data;
- a transmitter for transmitting the navigational route via a wireless network;
- a receiver for receiving a high-risk driving location in response to the navigational route;
- and
- a processor for generating the navigational route in response to the host vehicle location, the destination, and the map data, the processor further operative to generate the alternative route in response to the high-risk driving location being located along the navigational route and to couple the alternative route to the user interface.
