  • Cognitive load routing metric for vehicle guidance
    Patent number: 10627248
    Abstract: A method for routing a vehicle includes receiving a current location for the vehicle and a destination location for the vehicle and identifying candidate navigation routes extending between the current location and the destination location. The method also includes determining a cognitive load parameter for each candidate navigation route and determining a cost value for a cost function for each candidate navigation route. Each cost value is based on the cognitive load parameter for the respective candidate navigation route. The method also includes selecting the navigation route from the candidate navigation routes based on the cost values for the candidate navigation routes.
