Abstract

Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for personalized vehicle management. A current location of a vehicle may be received. A route of the vehicle may be determined based upon a trip library and/or the current location. The trip library may correspond to routes traveled by the user above a travel frequency threshold. A route segment (e.g., a portion of the route that the vehicle will travel within a threshold duration) may be identified. A route segment characteristic (e.g., a weather characteristic, a physical characteristic, a traffic characteristic, etc.) of the route segment may be determined. The route segment characteristic may be provided to a driver assistance component of the vehicle. The driver assistance component may be instructed to alter functionality of the vehicle using a vehicle operational parameter derived from the route segment characteristic.

Claims (61)

1. A method of personalized vehicle management, comprising:

receiving a current location of a vehicle of a user;

determining a route of the vehicle based upon a trip library corresponding to routes traveled by the user above a travel frequency threshold; and

creating an updated route comprising at least one of:

a first updated route between an updated current location of the vehicle and an ending location of the route responsive to a user preference for a faster route;

a second updated route between the updated current location and the ending location responsive to a user preference for a least costly route; or

a third updated route to a location of interest located between the updated current location and the ending location responsive to the trip library indicating that the user has traveled to the location of interest over a second travel frequency threshold,

wherein the first updated route has a shorter duration than the second updated route and the third updated route, the second updated route has a lower cost than the first updated route and the third updated route, and the third updated route is nearer the location of interest than the first updated route and the second updated route.

2. The method of claim 1 , the creating comprising:

creating the first updated route between the updated current location of the vehicle and the ending location of the route responsive to the user preference for a faster route.

3. The method of claim 1 , the creating comprising:

creating the second updated route between the updated current location and the ending location responsive to the user preference for a least costly route.

4. The method of claim 1 , the creating comprising:

creating the third updated route between the updated current location and the ending location responsive to the trip library indicating that the user has traveled to the location of interest over the second travel frequency threshold.

5. The method of claim 1 , comprising:

providing a message comprising an explanatory statement associated with the updated route.

6. The method of claim 1 , comprising:

determining an updated route segment characteristic based upon the updated route.

7. The method of claim 6 , comprising:

instructing a driver assistance device to alter functionality of the vehicle using a vehicle operational parameter derived from the updated route segment characteristic.

8. A system of personalized vehicle management, comprising:

a processor; and

memory comprising processor-executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause implementation of a personalized vehicle component configured to:

receive a current location of a vehicle of a user;

determine a route of the vehicle based upon a trip library corresponding to routes traveled by the user above a travel frequency threshold; and

create an updated route comprising at least one of:

a first updated route between an updated current location of the vehicle and an ending location of the route responsive to a user preference for a faster route;

a second updated route between the updated current location and the ending location responsive to a user preference for a least costly route; or

a third updated route to a location of interest located between the updated current location and the ending location responsive to the trip library indicating that the user has traveled to the location of interest over a second travel frequency threshold,

wherein the first updated route has a shorter duration than the second updated route and the third updated route, the second updated route has a lower cost than the first updated route and the third updated route, and the third updated route is nearer the location of interest than the first updated route and the second updated route.

9. The system of claim 8 , the creating comprising:

creating the first updated route between the updated current location of the vehicle and the ending location of the route responsive to the user preference for a faster route.

10. The system of claim 8 , the creating comprising:

creating the second updated route between the updated current location and the ending location responsive to the user preference for a least costly route.

11. The system of claim 8 , the creating comprising:

creating the third updated route between the updated current location and the ending location responsive to the trip library indicating that the user has traveled to the location of interest over the second travel frequency threshold.

12. The system of claim 8 , the personalized vehicle component configured to:

provide a message comprising an explanatory statement associated with the updated route.

13. The system of claim 8 , the personalized vehicle component configured to:

determine an updated route segment characteristic based upon the updated route.

14. The system of claim 13 , the personalized vehicle component configured to:

instruct a driver assistance device to alter functionality of the vehicle using a vehicle operational parameter derived from the updated route segment characteristic.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon processor-executable instructions that when executed cause performance of operations, the operations comprising:

receiving a current location of a vehicle of a user;

determining a route of the vehicle based upon a trip library corresponding to routes traveled by the user above a travel frequency threshold; and

creating an updated route comprising at least one of:

a first updated route between an updated current location of the vehicle and an ending location of the route responsive to a user preference for a faster route;

a second updated route between the updated current location and the ending location responsive to a user preference for a least costly route; or

a third updated route to a location of interest located between the updated current location and the ending location responsive to the trip library indicating that the user has traveled to the location of interest over a second travel frequency threshold,

wherein the first updated route has a shorter duration than the second updated route and the third updated route, the second updated route has a lower cost than the first updated route and the third updated route, and the third updated route is nearer the location of interest than the first updated route and the second updated route.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , the creating comprising:

creating the first updated route between the updated current location of the vehicle and the ending location of the route responsive to the user preference for a faster route.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , the creating comprising:

creating the second updated route between the updated current location and the ending location responsive to the user preference for a least costly route.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , the creating comprising:

creating the third updated route between the updated current location and the ending location responsive to the trip library indicating that the user has traveled to the location of interest over the second travel frequency threshold.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , the operations comprising:

providing a message comprising an explanatory statement associated with the updated route.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , the operations comprising:

determining an updated route segment characteristic based upon the updated route; and

instructing a driver assistance device to alter functionality of the vehicle using a vehicle operational parameter derived from the updated route segment characteristic.
