    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The invention is defined as a method, a system and a program for planning a route for a vehicle, which can be realized in any of the embodiments described below. However, this invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited by the embodiments described herein, which are intended to illustrate and illustrate various aspects of the invention.
    Additional aspects and features of the invention may become apparent from the following detailed description when considered in conjunction with the accompanying figures. However, the figures are to be considered only as examples of different embodiments of the invention and should not be construed as limiting the invention, which is limited only by the appended claims. Furthermore, the figures are not necessarily to scale, and are, unless otherwise specifically indicated, intended to conceptually illustrate aspects of the invention.
    Figure 1A shows a route planning system 100 made by a driver of a vehicle 110. To assist the navigation of the vehicle 110, the vehicle 110 is provided with a navigation unit 120. The system 100 also includes a portable unit 130 with a display 140. The portable unit 130 is arranged to communicate with the vehicle navigation unit 120 to thereby obtain route-related and / or vehicle-related information, and to enable the driver to plan the route at any location outside the vehicle 110. In the illustrated example in Figure 1A, it communicates portable unit 130 wirelessly with vehicle navigation unit 120.
    For example, the wireless network may be based on one of the following technologies: Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE), Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), Code Division Access (CDMA), (CDMA 2000 ), Time Division Synchronous CDMA (TD-SCDMA), Long Term Evolution (LTE); Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), as defined by any of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standards 802.11 a, ac, b, g and / or n, Internet Protocol (IP), Bluetooth and / or Near Field Communication, (NFC), according to different embodiments.
    The invention thus enables navigation information to be transmitted from the navigation unit 120 in the vehicle 110 to a portable unit 130, for example a telephone, computer or tablet, whereby the vehicle route can be planned outside the vehicle 110. Thereby the driver is not bound to be in the vehicle 110 when planning a route.
    Before the driver leaves the vehicle 110, according to certain embodiments of the invention, the navigation unit 120 is connected to the portable unit 130.
    Information is then sent to the portable unit 130, which may be useful for planning a new route, such as, for example, map data, previous destinations, attributes for different road sections such as, for example, bearing capacity classification, type of road, speed limit, etc .; Points of Interest (POLs), and / or vehicle information previously stored or configured by the driver of the vehicle, or read by sensors such as the vehicle's weight, height, length, width, axle load, presence of attached truck, dangerous goods and similar.
    This avoids roads where certain vehicles 110 such as trucks and / or caravans are not allowed, narrow streets and low bridges and tunnels. The points of interest, or POs, may include, for example, petrol stations, shops open or shops or truck washes, or other places which the driver has entered on the navigation system 120 at various times for various reasons.
    The driver can then, with the aid of the portable unit 130, plan a new route outside the vehicle 110. When the driver returns to the vehicle 110 with the portable unit 130, the navigation system 120 and the portable unit 130 can be reconnected. Thereafter, the navigation unit 120 can be updated with the route planned in the portable unit 130 and illustrate this to the driver while driving the vehicle 110.
    In some cases, large amounts of data may need to be transferred between the navigation unit 120 and the portable unit 130. According to some advantages, connection between the navigation unit 120 and the portable unit 130, for example via a wireless embodiment, may be to create a network. In this way, the portable unit 130 can access information from 120, even though the navigation unit 120. When the driver makes a change in the portable unit 130, the navigation unit information is still in the navigation unit 120, the navigation unit 120 can be updated directly with this change according to certain embodiments.
    Thanks to the invention, the navigation function of the vehicle 110 becomes more flexible and more accessible. By allowing the handling of information outside the vehicle 110, the driver can plan his / her route when it suits him / her. If the driver has any questions or wants to discuss something with another person, it is possible to take the information out of the vehicle 110 and easily show this to someone else on the screen of the portable device 140.
    Figure 1B shows the route planning system 100 made by the driver of the vehicle 110 in an alternative embodiment to the system 100 shown in Figure 1A. The portable unit 130 is here connectable over a wired interface to the navigation unit 120.
    The wired interface may, for example, be based on one of the following technologies in the vehicle 110: Controller Area Network (CAN), Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST), Ethernet. According to some alternative embodiments, the wired interface may, for example, be based on any of the following technologies, outside the vehicle 110: Ethernet, Universal Serial Bus (USB), Serial RS232, FireWire, Thunderbolt, to name just a few possibilities.
    Figure 2A shows a schematic example of route planning for a vehicle 110, visualized on a display 140 on the portable unit 130.
    In some embodiments, the driver may, for example, mark the starting point and destination of the route. In this simplified example, two alternative routes are illustrated, in Figure 2A marked with circles and squares respectively.
    The illustrated example shows two alternative routes. However, this is only an example according to one embodiment. According to other embodiments, another number of alternative travel routes can be illustrated. Figure 2B shows a schematic example of route planning for a vehicle 110, visualized on a monitor 140 on the portable unit 130.
    The screen 140 shows a comparison between two alternative routes between a certain starting point and destination. The driver can here compare, for example, estimated travel time, route distance and fuel consumption for the various alternative routes for the vehicle 110. These calculations are based on the previously received information related to the vehicle 110 and map data. In this way, certain routes can also be avoided or deselected which are not permitted or suitable for certain traffic, for example due to dangerous loads on the vehicle 110 or vehicle height that exceeds the permitted value on a certain road section.
    Furthermore, in some embodiments, the driver can enter the estimated start time for the journey. Planning can then be done so that road sections that are particularly exposed to traffic congestion are avoided during rush hour traffic and planned bridge openings and railway crossings are avoided. In this way, according to certain embodiments, real driving times can be estimated to calculate the fastest travel route, based on the time of day. Factors such as speed limits, road works, traffic lights, roundabouts and other obstacles on the road can in some embodiments be included in a calculation of estimated driving time.
    The illustrated example shows the distance traveled, estimated fuel consumption and estimated driving time for two alternative travel routes between a starting point and a destination. However, this is only an example according to certain embodiments. According to other embodiments, another number of alternative travel routes, estimated travel distance, estimated fuel consumption and / or estimated driving time can be illustrated. Other parameters that may be related to the route can also be illustrated in certain embodiments.
    Figure 3 shows an example of how a travel route can be planned for a vehicle 110, in a portable unit 130, outside the vehicle 110. In a first step, measurement data related to the vehicle 110 can be collected to the navigation unit 120 according to certain embodiments. Such measurement data may be collected, for example, from various sensors in the vehicle 110 and may refer to the configuration of the vehicle. These sensors and measurement data can include, for example, thermometer / temperature; air pressure in the vehicle's tires; the weight of the vehicle including load by measuring axle pressure, but measurement data may also include information stored in the vehicle, such as the length and height of the vehicle, etc.
    Some of this information collected by sensors in the vehicle 110 can be used, for example, to calculate air resistance and / or rolling resistance, which in turn can be used to calculate fuel consumption of the vehicle 110, for the current route, or for a number of alternative routes. The transmission of measurement data in the vehicle 110 can be done, for example, over a communication bus system consisting of one or more communication buses for interconnecting a number of electronic control units (ECUs), or control units / controllers, and various components located on the vehicle 110 and SGHSOFGF.
    The navigation unit 120 and said sensors are in turn arranged to communicate partly with each other, in order to receive signals and measured values and possibly also trigger a measurement, for instance at a certain time interval. Furthermore, the navigation unit 120 and the sensors are arranged to communicate, for example, via the communication bus of the vehicle, which may be constituted by one or more of a cable; a data bus, such as a CAN bus (Controller Area Network bus), a MOST bus (Media Oriented Systems Transport), or any other bus configuration; or by a wireless connection, for example according to any of the wireless communication technologies listed above.
    But measurement data is also collected from a positioning system such as a Global Positioning System (GPS), Gallileo Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) GLObalnaja NAvigatsionnaja Sputnikovaja Sistema (GLONASS) or similar, which enables the determination of the vehicle's existing position in terms of longitude, latitude and altitude. Furthermore, the route of the route, topographical driving conditions and the like can be determined. Values received from sensors, accelerometers, gyro and / or positioning systems can then in certain embodiments be stored in a memory, with time information.
    Measurement data can be sent from the respective sensor to the navigation unit 120, either in response to a request sent from the navigation unit 120, or with a certain time interval according to different embodiments.
    The navigation unit 120 can then determine, and / or calculate navigation information, based on this collected measurement data, possibly together with vehicle constant data such as, for example, vehicle height. In this case, for example, air resistance, rolling resistance and / or fuel consumption at a certain speed can be calculated.
    This determined or calculated navigation information can then in certain embodiments be transferred from the navigation unit 120 to a portable unit 130, which may be constituted, for example, by the driver's mobile phone, computer, tablet or other similar portable unit with the capacity to execute a program.
    The navigation information can be transmitted, for example, at the request of the driver, over a wireless or wired interface according to various embodiments.
    Furthermore, according to certain embodiments, additional information related to the planned travel route can be collected, for example, from an information database or the like, where information on traffic works, obstacles on the roadway, queues, snow depths on the road and the like can be obtained.
    The driver can then plan the route of the vehicle 110 in the portable unit 130 at a distance from the vehicle 110. The driver can then compare different alternative travel routes and travel time / fuel consumption associated with these according to certain embodiments, and choose it according to some criterion most advantageous. In some alternative embodiments, the travel route that provides the shortest driving time, alternatively the lowest fuel consumption, or alternatively the shortest travel route can be selected, without different alternatives being presented to the driver. When planning a route in the portable unit 130, an estimate of fuel consumption for one or more route options can be made, according to certain embodiments.
    The selected route can then be transferred from the portable unit 130 to the navigation unit 120 over a wireless or wired interface according to various embodiments. For example, this can be done when the driver gets into the vehicle 110 to begin the journey to the destination. This event can then trigger said transmission according to certain embodiments.
    The navigation unit 120, when it receives the selected route from the portable unit 130 and stores it in a memory in order to be able to start and follow a route according to the planned route, according to certain embodiments.
    Figure 4 illustrates an example embodiment of the invention. The flow chart of Figure 4 illustrates a method 400 for planning a route for a vehicle 110.
    The vehicle 110 comprises a navigation unit 120 installed in the vehicle 110, arranged to collect, compile and illustrate navigation information.
    According to certain embodiments, this navigation information may be collected from sensors in the vehicle 110.
    According to certain embodiments, the navigation information may include, for example, map data, previous destination and starting point, points of interest, route, weight height / length of the vehicle 110, load weight, type of cargo, vehicle air friction, information from at least one sensor on the vehicle 110, or the like.
    The purpose of the method 400 is to enable the planning route of the vehicle 110 in a portable unit 130. This portable unit 130 may be, for example, a driver's mobile phone, computer, tablet or similar portable device according to certain embodiments. Thereby, planning of the travel route can be done outside the vehicle 110, at a distance from the vehicle 110. In order to enable planning of the travel route of the vehicle 110 in the portable unit 130 outside the vehicle 110 in a correct manner, the method 400 may comprise a number of steps 401-404. It should be noted, however, that some of the described steps 401-404 may be performed in a slightly different chronological order than the numerical order suggests and that some of them may be performed in parallel with each other, according to different embodiments. The method 400 includes the following steps: Step 401 Navigation information related to the vehicle 110 is transmitted from the navigation unit 120 in the vehicle 110 to a portable unit 130. related to the vehicle 110, from the navigation unit 120 in the vehicle 110 to the portable unit 130 may in some a wireless interface, based for example on any of the following technologies: Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE), Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), Code Division Access (CDMA), (CDMA 2000) , Time Division Synchronous CDMA (TD-SCDMA), Long Term Evolution (LTE); Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), as defined by any of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standards 802.11 a, ac, b, g and / or n, Internet Protocol (IP), Bluetooth and / or Near Field Communication, (NFC).
    By transferring information between the navigation unit 120 in the vehicle 110 and the portable unit 130 over a wireless interface, the information transfer can be done without the driver having to place the portable unit 130 in any particular place, it is sufficient if the portable unit 130 is located in a place where the reception is good enough, for example in the driver's pocket. The transfer of navigation information related to the vehicle 110, from the navigation unit 120 in the vehicle 110 to the portable unit 130 can in some embodiments be done over a wired interface.
    Such a wired interface may, for example, be based on any of the following technologies in the vehicle 110: Controller Area Network (CAN), Media Oriented 10 15 20 25 13 Systems Transport (MOST), Ethernet; or outside the vehicle 110: Ethernet, Universal Serial Bus (USB), Serial RS232, FireWire, Thunderbolt.
    According to certain embodiments, the transfer of navigation information related to the vehicle 110, from the navigation unit 120 in the vehicle 110 to the portable unit 130 may be done continuously, for example at a certain time interval and / or when a triggering event occurs, such as starting the vehicle 110.
    By continuously transmitting information, one can reduce the risk of the driver planning the route of travel on the mobile unit 130 without having access to the latest navigation information available in the vehicle navigation system 120.
    Step 402 The route of the vehicle 110 is planned in the portable unit 130.
    The planning of the route of travel in the portable unit 130 can be done at a location outside the vehicle 110.
    According to certain embodiments, the planning of the route in the portable unit 130 may include entering the starting point, entering one or more destinations for the route, calculating time consumption and / or fuel consumption for one or more alternative routes between the starting point and at least some destination, selecting the route. and / or entering one or more points of interest, or the like.
    This makes it possible to plan a route in a different environment than the cab.
    For example, the planning can be done together with another person who is outside the vehicle 110, which adds an increased flexibility in the planning of the drive. The actual (possibility of) environmental change can in itself have a positive effect on the driver's general well-being, as a walk outside the vehicle 110 can lead to increased oxygen intake and increased blood circulation. The driver also gets away from the sedentary driver environment in the vehicle 110 where a large part of the working day is spent, and has the opportunity for a varied working position, which can reduce ergonomic injuries to the driver.
    Step 403 The planned 402 route is received in the vehicle navigation unit 120, from the portable unit 130.
    The reception of the planned 402 route from the portable unit 130 to the vehicle navigation unit 120 can in some embodiments be done over a wireless interface, based on, for example, one of the following technologies: Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE ), Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), Code Division Access (CDMA), (CDMA 2000), Time Division Synchronous CDMA (TD-SCDMA), Long Term Evolution (LTE); Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), as defined by any of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standards 802.11 a, ac, b, g and / or n, Internet Protocol (IP), Bluetooth and / or Near Field Communication, (NFC).
    The reception of the planned travel route 402 from the portable unit 130 to the vehicle navigation unit 120 may in some embodiments be made over a wired interface.
    Such a wired interface may, for example, be based on any of the following technologies in the vehicle 110: Controller Area Network (CAN), Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST), Ethernet; or outside the vehicle 110: Ethernet, Universal Serial Bus (USB), Serial RS232, FireWire, Thunderbolt.
    According to certain embodiments, the reception of the planned travel route 402 from the portable unit 130 to the vehicle navigation unit 120 may be made at regular time intervals and / or when a triggering event occurs.
    Step 404 The received 403 route is inserted into a memory unit in the vehicle navigation unit 120. The received 403 route can then be illustrated on a monitor connected to the vehicle navigation unit 120.
    Figure 5 illustrates an embodiment of a route planning system 100 for a vehicle 110 including a navigation unit 120 installed in the vehicle 110.
