    A problem for the driver is to plan his route so that the place where the legally regulated break must be taken corresponds to the needs or wishes that the driver, or the vehicle may have, such as for example a petrol station or restaurant.
    The problem becomes particularly noticeable when the driver drives along a road section that is essentially unknown to him / her.
    Although the driver can often estimate in advance from experience how long a distance can be traveled during the permitted driving time, this can change during the journey due to traffic conditions, weather situation, technical problems with the vehicle or other similar reason beyond the driver's control or knowledge of the estimate.
    This can lead to the driver being forced to panic by stopping the vehicle, for example at a parking pocket along the road when the permitted driving time has ticked out, in order to avoid fines; only because a short while later, when the journey has resumed, they may stop again to refuel or have lunch when a petrol station or restaurant paSSGfaS.
    In addition to the loss of time that is made, and the possibly unstimulating rest environment to which the driver is exposed during a panic break, this can lead to safety risks, as for example a parked truck along the road can obscure the view of other road users, or cause an accident when driving to or from the roadside .
    If the driver, in order to avoid this, stops at a restaurant after, for example, three hours and a quarter of an hour's drive since the previous break, the above-described situation with panic break is avoided, but this instead leads to an underuse of the vehicle in relation to the available driving time. , which can be costly and lead to delayed delivery.
    It can be stated that much remains to be done to facilitate a vehicle's route planning.
    SUMMARY It is therefore an object of this invention to enable the planning of driving interruptions for the driver and vehicle stops for the vehicle, in order to solve at least some of the above-mentioned problems and thereby achieve a vehicle improvement.
    According to a first aspect of the invention, this object is achieved by a method in a navigation unit for planning vehicle stops for a vehicle and driving interruptions including, for example, rest, rest or daily rest for its driver, at a point of interest. The procedure includes the collection of requests regarding points of interest for the driving interruption. Furthermore, the remaining driving time is collected for subsequent driving interruptions for the driver, from a driving time calculating unit in the vehicle. In addition, a geographical area is determined, which is possible to achieve on the collected remaining driving time. Thereafter, a selection is made of at least one point of interest within the established geographical area that corresponds to the desired request. A presentation of the selected point or points of interest can then be made to the driver of the vehicle, whereby driving interruptions are proposed at this or these points of interest.
    According to a second aspect of the invention, this object is achieved by a navigation unit for planning vehicle stops for a vehicle and driving interruptions including, for example, rest, rest or daily rest for its driver at a point of interest. The navigation unit comprises a receiver arranged to collect requests regarding points of interest for driving interruptions, and arranged to collect the remaining driving time for subsequent driving interruptions, from a driving time calculating unit in the vehicle. Furthermore, the navigation unit comprises a processor circuit arranged to determine a geographical area, which is possible to achieve in the remaining driving time, and also arranged to select a point of interest within the determined geographical area which corresponds to the collected request.
    The navigation unit also comprises a display unit, arranged to present the selected point of interest to the driver of the vehicle, and thereby to suggest interruptions to driving at this point of interest.
    By giving the navigation unit access to information about the driver's driving times, and calculating the time left for a break or rest, the navigation unit can generate suggestions for points of interest to place, for example, driving breaks as upcoming driving breaks. This can be done by the navigation unit being able to calculate how long the driver has time to cover during the remaining permitted driving time for driving interruptions and by collecting requests from the driver, and / or vehicle owner, regarding the service offer at the point or points of interest where driving interruptions are proposed. When the driver selects a proposed point of interest, this can be entered as an intermediate destination in the navigation unit. Thereby, the driver's planning of his route can be improved, panic stops with the vehicle can be avoided and statutory driving interruptions can be arranged so that the permitted driving time is utilized in an optimal, or at least improved way, and so that the driver and / or vehicle is given a rest area with it. service level that this / these need. This achieves a vehicle improvement.
    Other advantages and further novel features will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The invention is defined as a method and a navigation unit for planning driving interruptions for a vehicle driver, 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 drawn to scale and are, unless otherwise specifically stated, intended to conceptually illustrate aspects of the invention.
    Figure 1A shows a vehicle 100 traveling in a direction of travel 105. Inside the vehicle 100, for example in the cab, there is a driving time calculating unit 110 and a navigation unit 120. The driving time calculating unit 110 may be a tachograph according to certain embodiments. Such tachographs can be analog or digital, according to different embodiments.
    According to certain embodiments, the navigation unit 120 can be fixedly mounted in the vehicle 100, or be movable and mountable in the vehicle 100, for example in the driver's cab. The navigation unit 120 may also be a portable unit. Such a portable unit can be constituted, for example, by the driver's mobile phone, computer, tablet or similar portable device according to certain embodiments.
    Figure 1B illustrates an example of the driver environment in the vehicle 100. In the vehicle 100 is the driving time calculating unit 110 and the navigation unit 120, which comprises or is connected to a monitor 130. The driving time calculating unit 110 and the navigation unit 120 are arranged to communicate with each other; at least the navigation unit 120 is arranged to receive a signal representing information from the driving time calculating unit 110. This information may include, for example, how long the driver has been driving since the previous driving interruption, and / or how long the driver has until the subsequent driving interruption. Based on this information, the navigation unit 120 can determine a geographical area that is possible for the vehicle 100 to achieve at the estimated remaining allowable driving time. As a result, a driving interruption can be planned so that it corresponds to the driver's driving times and breaks in accordance with government requirements, industry requirements and / or employer policy or the like. In this context, the termination of a driving interruption refers to, for example, a break or break of, for example, 45 minutes, as a result of the vehicle 100 being driven by the same driver for a certain period of time, for example four hours and 30 minutes. Driving interruption can also refer to rest as a result of the driver driving the vehicle 100 for a certain period of time on a certain day, for example nine hours or a maximum of ten hours per day twice a week. l / led driving interruption can also refer to weekly rest as a result of the driver driving the vehicle 100 for a certain period of time during a week. However, the term driving interruption can also mean that the driver is forced to interrupt the driving of the vehicle during another time interval which may for example be implemented by the employer for safety reasons, for example ten minutes stop every two hours, in addition to 45 minutes stop after four hours and 30 minutes etc.
    Furthermore, the concept of driving interruption, perhaps in particular when the vehicle 100 has more than one driver, also includes a temporary stop with the vehicle 100 to enable driver change when the respective driver's estimated driving time ends.
    When driving with the vehicle 100 begins, the driver must start or continue the driver's log in the driving time calculation unit 110 by, for example, inserting his driver card or equivalent in the driving time calculating unit 110. This is due to legal requirements regarding driver logs in many countries, as mentioned in the background description.
    An advantage of allowing the navigation unit 120 to access the driving time calculating unit 110, and the information contained therein regarding the driver's driving time is, especially when the driving time calculating unit 110 is constituted by the vehicle tachograph, thereby at least partially utilizing existing equipment in the vehicle 100. makes the invention cheap to implement, as tachographs, driver logs and driver cards (or equivalent) must still be present in vehicles 100 of a certain type.
    In addition, the calculation of the driver's travel time made in the driving time calculating unit 110, especially when it includes a tachograph, can be considered reliable, as manipulation of this calculation is illegal, which is likely to discourage many from trying to influence or manipulate the calculation of the driving time. The navigation unit 120 also has access to information for planning a travel route for the vehicle 100, such as map data, previous destinations, attributes for different road sections such as, for example, bearing capacity, 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 detectors / sensors such as vehicle weight, height, length, width, axle load, presence of attached truck, dangerous goods, loose goods in the hold and the like.
    Thus, one can avoid roads where certain vehicles 100 such as trucks are not allowed; narrow streets and low bridges and tunnels. The points of interest, or POs (Points Of Interest), may include, for example, fuel stations, shops open on call, truck washes, or other places, including those which the driver himself has entered in the navigation unit 120 at various times for various reasons.
    Furthermore, an input device can be connected to the navigation unit 120 via a wired or treeless interface. Via the input device, the driver can state his preferences regarding points of interest where driving interruptions are planned, such as access to a restaurant of a certain type or other service offer.
    The navigation unit 120 is further arranged to match driver wishes regarding points of interest for driving interruptions with the points of interest found to be within the determined geographical area.
    As a result, driving interruptions can be planned at a point of interest that corresponds to the desired wishes, at a time when the driver's permitted remaining driving time is coming to an end. In this way, the driver can optimize his driving time, and at the same time find points of interest that suit the wishes of the driver. 110 and 120 can communicate with each other over a wired or wireless interface.
    The driving time calculation unit navigation unit The wired interface may, for example, be based on one of the following technologies in the vehicle 100: Controller Area Network (CAN), l / ledia Oriented Systems Transport (l / IOST), Ethernet. In some embodiments, the wired interface may, for example, be based on any of the following technologies: Ethernet, Universal Serial Bus (USB), Serial RS232, FireWire, Thunderbolt, to name just a few.
    For example, the wireless interface 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), (CDMA), (CDMA 2000), Time Division Synchronous CDMA (TD-SCDMA), Long Term Evolution (LTE); Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), as defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standards 802.11 a, ac, b, g and / or n, Internet Protocol (IP), Bluetooth and / or Code Division Access or Near Field Communication , (NFC), according to different embodiments.
    Figure 2A shows a schematic example of driving interruption planning for a vehicle driver at a point of interest 210, visualized on a monitor 130. A dashed circle indicates the geographic area 220 that the navigation unit 120 calculates that the vehicle 100 reaches within the remaining permitted driving time of the driver.
    When calculating the geographical area 220 that the vehicle 100 reaches within the remaining driving time, the navigation unit 120 may in certain embodiments take into account whether the road section is subject to traffic congestion, for example during rush hour traffic, planned bridge openings and / or railway crossings or the like. Factors such as speed limits, road works, traffic lights, roundabouts and other obstacles on the road may in some embodiments be included in a calculation of the estimated remaining mileage, as well as visibility conditions such as fog, precipitation, darkness and / or embodiments a mileage for the vehicle 100 during the remaining driving conditions. as slippery. According to some, this can be estimated, which is as close to the distance actually achieved as possible. Other parameters that may be related to the travel route and / or driving interruptions can also be illustrated in certain embodiments. In certain embodiments, the navigation unit 120 may calculate and select a point of interest 210 within the geographic area 220 and also illustrate it to the driver, for example on the display 130.
    The illustrated example shows three alternative points of interest 210, which are suitable for subsequent driving interruptions as they all correspond to the wish. However, this is only an example according to one embodiment. According to other embodiments, another number of alternative points of interest 210 may be illustrated, including none at all, if no point of interest is found within the geographic area 220 that matches the desire.
    In certain embodiments, when no point of interest has been found within the geographic area 220 which corresponds to said desire, the last point of interest 210 may be illustrated which corresponds to the desire, before the driving time is calculated to end.
    In those embodiments where more than one point of interest 210 within the geographical area 220 is shown to the driver, he is given the opportunity to, for example, compare the various proposed points of interest 210 with each other and select one of them for driving interruptions which best corresponds to the wish made.
    Figure 2B shows a schematic example of driving interruption planning for a vehicle 100, visualized on a monitor 130 adjacent to the navigation unit 120.
    This example shows information regarding two alternative rest areas, A and B, and shows the range of services on these, as well as the time margin that the driver has for driving interruptions.
    The driver can then in certain embodiments select one of these rest areas and enter this rest area as an intermediate destination in the navigation unit 120.
    By showing the calculated respective time margin and the range of services to each alternative resting place, the driver is given a better decision basis to decide for himself what is best, depending on factors that the driver, but may not necessarily know the navigation system 120.
    Figure 2C shows a schematic example of vehicle stop planning for a vehicle 100, visualized on a monitor 130 adjacent to the navigation unit 120.
    In the illustrated example, the screen 130 consists of a touch screen and therefore also functions as an input device 135. However, this is only an example. According to other embodiments, the display 130 and the input device 135 are separate units, wherein the input device 135 can be constituted by, for example, a keyboard, a keypad, a pointing device or a similar device. Figure 2B illustrates how different desired alternatives for the next rest area, or all future rest areas, can be presented to the driver in an example.
    The driver can be given the opportunity to choose from various alternative wishes. In some embodiments, the driver may specify requests in a free text field, for example, or from a list of possible requests.
    In some embodiments, requests may be made in advance, not necessarily by the driver. For example, the owner of the vehicle or a representative of the vehicle may state that only certain service stations of a certain tank chain where the owner has a discount card or equivalent, shall be displayed in the navigation system and / or on the screen 130.
    Figure 3 shows an example of how a driving interruption can be planned in a navigation unit 120, at a point of interest 210 that matches a wish. The combined flow and signaling scheme of Figure 3 illustrates an eleven step procedure for scheduling downtime for the driver of a vehicle 100. It should be noted, however, that some of the steps 1-14 described may be performed in a slightly different chronological order than the numbering order. suggests and that some of them can be performed in parallel with each other, according to different embodiments. Furthermore, not all of the described steps 1-14 necessarily occur in all embodiments. In a first step, requests from, for example, the driver of the vehicle, related to the point of interest where the next driving interruption and / or vehicle stop is planned, can be collected. Such requests may include, for example, restaurant, café, pizzeria, salad bar, gas station, shop, kiosk, vehicle workshop, truck wash, toilet, urinal, library, scenic view, low-traffic location (to facilitate relaxation / rest / sleep), swimming lake (current perhaps most importantly summer time), swimming pool / gym, tree access (for temporary installation of hammock; possibly presupposes the right of public access or equivalent); broadband internet connection, for example Wi-Fi and / or access to compressed air for tire pressure correction, the possibility of refilling washer fluid, coolant, urea and / or oil, changing wiper blades or performing other similar service on the vehicle 100, and / or disconnecting the driver.
    In some embodiments, such requests may be collected from an input unit 135 and sent to the navigation unit 120 in a second step. In certain embodiments, all or certain wishes may be predetermined by the driver or vehicle owner, for example which fuel station chain to choose primarily for refueling due to agreed discount, etc. Such predetermined wishes may in certain embodiments be stored or retrieved from a memory in the navigation device 120 according to certain embodiments, or via a network connection from an external device.
    One purpose of this, that is, to introduce wishes on the points of interest may be to filter out the number of points of interest displayed on the screen 130; a risk is otherwise that the screen 130 when passing through an urban area or the like will be inexplicably flooded by illustrated points of interest.
    Furthermore, in some embodiments, requests may be obtained in whole or in part from sensors in the vehicle, rather than from the input of the driver, or other vehicle-related person. This can apply, for example, when a sensor in the fuel tank indicates that it is time to refuel. The request may then include a petrol station without the driver having to explicitly state this according to certain embodiments. Pilot equivalent can also apply, for example, to air pressure in the vehicle's tires, which can be sensed by sensors while driving, or the level of washer fluid or the like. 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, such as for example every second, minute, every quarter, every half hour, every hour, or other similar interval comprising a multiple of these time intervals multiplied by any positive integer. In a third step, which in itself can be performed as a first step according to certain embodiments, information can be collected regarding the remaining driving time, calculated from the previous vehicle stop, from for example a tachograph 110 in the vehicle 100.
    This can be done by sending a request from the navigation unit 120 to the tachograph 110, for example continuously or with a certain periodicity, such as for example every quarter, every half hour, every hour, every other hour, every three hours or other similar interval. In some embodiments, the tachograph 110 may be triggered to send such information regarding the remaining driving time of the driver, or when the driver indicates or updates driver requests on the input device 135.
    In parallel with this, for example, the tachograph 110 can measure the travel time elapsed when the vehicle journey is started or resumed after a driving interruption and based on this calculate the remaining driving time for the subsequent driving interruption. The permitted driving time can vary between different countries and / or, for example, agreements for different haulage companies. This permissible driving time can therefore, for example, be stored and stored in a memory in the tachograph 110 according to certain embodiments. Such a calculation of the remaining driving time may thus involve that the collected traveled driving time is subtracted from the permitted driving time between driving interruptions, according to certain embedded or stored embodiments.
    When it is calculated how long the driving time remains until the next driving interruption due to the maximum permitted driving time for the driver ends, it can be determined which geographical area 120 it is possible to achieve in the estimated remaining driving time. This calculation is made in the navigation unit 120.
    In this calculation, according to certain embodiments, a longest remaining mileage or maximum point for the geographical area 220 can first be determined, for example, by estimating how far the vehicle 100 will come within the remaining driving time based on expected vehicle speed and the remaining driving time, and thereafter calculate a boundary of the geographical area 220, at a distance from the calculated longest remaining mileage in a direction opposite to the vehicle's direction of travel 105. In another example, the vehicle speed may be estimated during the previous mileage in the vehicle's direction of travel 105 and multiplied by the calculated remaining driving time. Then a boundary of the geographical area 220 can be calculated, at a distance from the calculated maximum point. This distance from the calculated maximum point can be predetermined to a certain size in kilometers, or another corresponding local unit of length such as mile, or as a percentage of the remaining remaining mileage according to different embodiments. To calculate how far the vehicle 100 will come during the remaining driving time, for example more map attributes and vehicle attributes can also be used, such as for example truck restrictions, and / or vehicle configuration, according to certain embodiments. This calculation of how far the vehicle 100 will travel during the remaining driving time can also be done dynamically and recalculated / updated as the remaining driving time is counted down.
    Thus, a more reliable prediction can be made of how far the vehicle 100 will come before the remaining driving time for driving interruption ends.
    This estimated speed of the vehicle 100 can be estimated, partly based on the existing speed of the vehicle read via speed sensor or via GPS reading, partly on information available regarding the road distance ahead such as speed limitation, queuing, temporary traffic obstruction, slipperiness, road work, reduced visibility fog, snow, traffic accident, etc. Such information may be collected in whole or in part, for example from an information database and / or 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 existing position of the vehicle in the form of longitude, latitude and altitude. Furthermore, the route of the route, topographical driving conditions and the like can be determined, which can affect the calculation of the distance that has time to be harvested during the remaining driving time according to certain embodiments. 10 15 20 25 30 15 Once said geographical area 220 has been determined, a summary of the points of interest 210 located within this geographical area 220 can be determined.
    Furthermore, a match can be made between the service offer at these points of interest 210 within the geographical area 220 and collected requests.
    The point or points of interest 210 within the geographical area 220 that fulfill the wishes made can then be selected and presented to the driver, for example on the screen 130. The driver can then decide for himself which place to choose for the next driving interruption, for example by comparing the service between presented points of interest 210, or alternatively, when for example no point of interest 210 fulfills said wishes, the geographical area 220 can be expanded and / or the driver can be given the opportunity to modify his wishes. In a further embodiment, when no point of interest 210 has been found within the geographical area 220 which meets the requirements, then one or more other points of interest 210 may be presented to the driver, which almost, or at least partially, meet the wishes of the driver. In some embodiments, an indication may be made, for example, by color marking, so that points of interest 210 that fully meet the driver's wishes are marked on the screen 130 with green color marking, points of interest 210 that partially meet the driver's wishes are marked in yellow, and points of interest 210 that do not correspond to the driver's wishes. but located within the geographic area 220 can be marked in red, in some embodiments. In some forms, a point of interest 210 which fulfills the wish made but is outside the geographical area may be displayed, for example the last resting place which is expected to be reached before the remaining permitted driving time ends, even if this is outside the geographical area 220.
    The driver can then select one of the proposed points of interest for driving interruptions and determine this point of interest as an intermediate destination in the vehicle's navigation unit 120.
    Figure 4 illustrates an example embodiment of the invention. The flow chart in Figure 4 illustrates a method 400 in a navigation unit 120 of a vehicle 100, for planning driving interruptions for the driver and / or stopping the vehicle 100 at a point of interest 210. Driving interruptions here refer to, for example, pause, rest, rest , daily rest, weekly rest or similar for the driver. In certain embodiments when the vehicle 100 has more than one driver, the method 400 includes an adjustment of the planned vehicle stop so that driver change is possible when the respective driver's estimated driving time ends. The non-driving driver can then have a break in driving completely or in part as a passenger according to embodiments.
    The vehicle 100 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 and / or other devices in the vehicle 100.
    According to certain embodiments, the navigation information may include, for example, map data, starting point, points of interest, route, information from at least one sensor on the vehicle 100, or the like.
    The purpose of the method 400 is to enable the planning of driving interruptions so that this coincides with a point of interest 210 which corresponds to the driver's and / or the vehicle's need for service and / or maintenance.
    In order to enable proper interruption of driving interruptions, the method 400 may include a number of steps 401-406. It should be noted, however, that some of the described steps 401-406 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. In addition, certain steps, such as, for example, step 406, are performed only in certain embodiments of the invention. The method 400 comprises the following steps: Step 401 Requests regarding point of interest 210 for driving interruptions are collected to the navigation unit 120. 10 15 20 25 17 Such requests regarding point of interest 210 for breaks may according to certain embodiments refer to a request from the vehicle driver and involve filtering the number of possible Points of Interest 210 which are selectable.
    Furthermore, such requests may relate to, for example, service offerings at point of interest 210 to a car workshop, long-term parking, network connection, kiosk, truck washing, or the like. such as access restaurant, cafeteria, gas station, Requests regarding point of interest 210 may include a number of requests, or a certain combination of requests. Such requests may be stored in a memory in, for example, the vehicle 100 or in the driver card and apply only to the next driving interruption, or all future driving interruptions according to different embodiments.
    In certain variants of the invention, the requests are made by the owner of the vehicle, by the driver, by the driver's employer or by several parties involved. For example, such requests can be made or entered via an input device 135, to the navigation unit 120.
    Step 402 The remaining driving time until the subsequent driving interruption for the driver is collected from a driving time calculating unit 110 in the vehicle 100.
    The travel time calculating unit 110 may be a tachograph. The transfer of the remaining driving time from the driving time calculating unit 110 to the navigation unit 120 can in some embodiments be done over a wireless interface, based for example on one of the following technologies: Global System for I / lobile Communications (GSM), Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE), Universal I / lobile Telecommunications System (UI / ITS), Code Division Access (CDl / IA), (CDMA 2000), Time Division Synchronous CD | / IA (TD-SCDl / IA), Long Term Evolution (LTE); Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), defined according to one 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 transmission can 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 100: Controller Area Network (CAN), l / ledia Oriented Systems Transport (l / IOST), Ethernet; or outside the vehicle 110: Ethernet, Universal Serial Bus (USB), Serial RS232, FireWire, Thunderbolt.
    According to certain embodiments, the transfer of the remaining driving time can be done continuously, for example at a certain time interval and / or when a triggering event occurs, such as when the vehicle 100 is started.
    By continuously transferring the remaining driving time, you can reduce the risk of the driver exceeding the permitted driving time. Furthermore, the accuracy of the prediction of the geographical area can be improved.
    Step 403 A geographic area 220, which can be achieved on the collected 402 remaining driving time, is determined.
    In some embodiments, the determination of geographic area 220 may be made by first calculating a maximum point of the geographic area 220 by calculating a longest remaining mileage for the geographic area 220 by estimating how far the vehicle 100 will travel within the remaining driving time based on expected vehicle speed and the remaining driving time, and then calculate a boundary of the geographical area 220, at a distance from the calculated longest remaining mileage in a direction opposite to the direction of travel 105 of the vehicle.
    This distance can in different embodiments be, for example, one kilometer, five kilometers, ten kilometers or an arbitrary multiple of any of these according to different embodiments.
    Furthermore, in order to calculate how far the vehicle 100 will travel during the remaining driving time, for example more map attributes and / or vehicle attributes can also be used, such as for example truck restrictions, and / or vehicle configuration, according to certain embodiments. This calculation of how far the vehicle 100 will travel during the remaining driving time can also be done dynamically and recalculated / updated as the remaining driving time is counted down. Thus, a more reliable prediction can be made of how far the vehicle 100 will come before the vehicle stops.
    According to certain embodiments, the navigation unit 120 may continuously retrieve information about remaining driving time and recalculate possible points of interest 210 for driving interruptions. If the new calculation shows a different result than the previous calculation, the calculated maximum mileage you get during the remaining driving time can be recalculated.
    Step 404 At least one point of interest 210 within the determined 403 geographical area 220 corresponding to the collected 401 request is selected by the navigation unit 120. In some embodiments, a plurality of points of interest 210 within the determined 403 geographical area 220 may be selected.
    If there is no point of interest 210, i.e. any rest areas or rest areas within the specified geographical area 220 that meet the desired request, the navigation unit 120 may in some embodiments present the last possible rest area or rest area on the route before the remaining driving time is exceeded, even if this is outside the established 404 geographical area.
    Step 405 The selected 404 at least one point of interest 210 is presented to the driver of the vehicle, whereby driving interruption is proposed at this point of interest 210.
    For example, such a presentation may be made on a display 130, associated with the navigation unit 120. In certain embodiments, a plurality of points of interest 210 within the determined 403 geographic area 220 may be selected 404 and presented to the driver, thereby providing a basis for selecting a location for driving interruption.
    The presentation can be made, for example, on a map, or in the form of a list on a monitor 130, according to certain embodiments. In some embodiments, suggested points of interest 210, i.e., rest and / or rest locations, may also be presented on a map on the screen 130 if it is displayed, for example as icons or similar symbols.
    The presentation may also include the estimated longest distance that can be achieved in the remaining driving time according to certain embodiments. For example, this can be detrimental to the driver on a map on a monitor 130 so that it shows how far you actually get. This marking can be a stretch, a flag, or another similar type of marking. The marking can be dynamic, as can the calculation of this longest distance, and thus be updated continuously or with a certain time interval, so the marking can be moved when an update of the calculated longest distance is made.
    According to certain embodiments, the navigation unit 120 may continuously retrieve information about remaining driving time and recalculate possible points of interest 210 for driving interruptions. If the new calculation shows a different result than the previous calculation, a new presentation of possible rest and / or rest areas for driving interruptions can be made.
    Step 406 This process step is included in some, but not necessarily all, embodiments of the invention. determined as a sub-destination in the navigation unit 120, when the driver selects this point of interest 210 for driving interruption.
    One of the points of interest presented 210 If a continuous recalculation shows a different result than the previous calculation of the maximum mileage, a new presentation of possible rest stops and / or resting places for driving interruptions can be made and the driver given the opportunity to choose a new one. sub-goals.
