Abstract: Navigation devices, systems, and methods for transmitting notifications to and/or receiving notifications from electronic devices associated with passengers of connectable vehicles are described herein. In one example, a method is provided for sending a notification regarding a planned detachment of a designated vehicle from a plurality of connected vehicles. The method includes receiving a navigation destination for a passenger of an initial vehicle, calculating a detachment time or detachment location of the designated vehicle from the plurality of connected vehicles based on the received navigation destination, and transmitting a personalized notification to an electronic device associated with the passenger regarding the detachment time or detachment location of the designated vehicle from the plurality of connected vehicles.

Abstract: An approach is provided for determining and presenting notifications and options to users for reconfiguring a vehicle environment of the users. The approach includes determining whether to initiate a reconfiguration of a vehicle environment for one or more users based, at least in part, on one or more reconfiguration criteria. The approach also includes determining a reconfiguration model for the vehicle environment based, at least in part, on one or more preferences associated with the one or more users. The approach further includes causing, at least in part, a presentation of one or more notifications about the reconfiguration model to the one or more users. Furthermore, the approach includes determining one or more responses from the one or more users based, at least in part, on the presentation. Additionally, the approach includes initiating the reconfiguration of the vehicle environment based, at least in part, on the one or more responses.

Abstract: A method of operating a navigation system is disclosed. A request for an emergency stop for a vehicle is obtained. The current position of the vehicle is determined and an emergency profile representing a time until stop is generated. A maximum distance that may be traveled within said time until stop is determined and an emergency stop location within the maximum distance is identified.
