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 travelled 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

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . 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, via the processor, a route of the vehicle based upon a trip library corresponding to routes traveled by the user above a travel frequency threshold; 
 identify, via the processor, a route segment of the route that the vehicle will travel within a threshold duration; 
 determine, via the processor, a route segment characteristic of the route segment; 
 provide the route segment characteristic to a driver assistance device of the vehicle, the route segment characteristic corresponding to at least one of an on-ramp in the route segment, an off-ramp in the route segment, a straightaway in the route segment, a traffic light in the route segment, a change in speed limit in the route segment, or driver distraction in the route segment; and 
 instruct the driver assistance device to alter functionality of the vehicle using a vehicle operational parameter derived from the route segment characteristic. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , the route segment characteristic corresponding to the straightaway in the route segment. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , the route segment characteristic corresponding to the traffic light in the route segment. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , the personalized vehicle component configured to:
 update the route to create an updated route responsive to an updated current location of the vehicle indicating that the vehicle deviated from the route.   
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , the personalized vehicle component configured to:
 create the updated route based upon the updated current location of the vehicle and an ending location of the route.   
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , the personalized vehicle component configured to:
 update the route to create an updated route responsive to at least one of a physical characteristic or a traffic characteristic associated with the route.   
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , the personalized vehicle component configured to:
 provide a message comprising an explanatory statement associated with the updated route.   
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , the personalized vehicle component configured to:
 update the route to create an updated route;   determine an updated route segment characteristic based upon the updated route;   provide the updated route segment characteristic to the driver assistance device; and   instruct the driver assistance device to alter functionality of the vehicle using a second vehicle operational parameter derived from the updated route segment characteristic.   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , the route segment characteristic corresponding to at least one of the on-ramp in the route segment, or the off-ramp in the route segment. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , the route segment characteristic corresponding to the change in speed limit in the route segment. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1 , the route segment characteristic corresponding to the driver distraction in the route segment. 
     
     
         12 . 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 vehicle management component configured to:
 present a current location of a vehicle of a user through a user interface; 
 receive a route segment characteristic of a route segment, of a route of the vehicle, within a threshold distance of the current location, the route segment characteristic corresponding to at least one of an on-ramp in the route segment, an off-ramp in the route segment, a straightaway in the route segment, a traffic light in the route segment, a change in speed limit in the route segment, or driver distraction in the route segment; 
 receive instructions for a driver assistance device of the vehicle to alter functionality of the vehicle using a vehicle operational parameter derived from the route segment characteristic; and 
 alter an operational parameter of the vehicle to the vehicle operational parameter. 
   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , the operational parameter comprising at least one of a vehicle speed, a vehicle speed limit parameter, a turn light on or off parameter, a speaker volume parameter, a windshield wiper parameter, a driver assist parameter, a cruise control parameter, a brake parameter, or a vehicle operation parameter. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 12 , the vehicle management component configured to:
 receive an updated route segment characteristic of an updated route responsive to an updated current location of the vehicle indicating that the vehicle has deviated from the route.   
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , the vehicle management component configured to:
 receive a message comprising an explanatory statement about the updated route.   
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 12 , the route segment characteristic indicative of the traffic light in the route segment malfunctioning. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 12 , the route segment characteristic corresponding to the driver distraction in the route segment. 
     
     
         18 . A method, comprising:
 receiving a current location of a vehicle of a user;   determining a route of the vehicle;   identifying a route segment of the route that the vehicle will travel within a threshold duration;   determining a route segment characteristic of the route segment;   providing the route segment characteristic to a driver assistance device of the vehicle, the route segment characteristic corresponding to at least one of an on-ramp in the route segment, an off-ramp in the route segment, a straightaway in the route segment, a traffic light in the route segment, a change in speed limit in the route segment, or driver distraction in the route segment; and   instructing the driver assistance device to alter functionality of the vehicle using a vehicle operational parameter derived from the route segment characteristic.   
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , comprising:
 updating the route to comprise an updated route responsive to a change in the route segment characteristic.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , comprising:
 providing a message to the user, the message comprising an explanatory statement associated with the updated route.
