First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus comprising a processor and memory including computer program code, the memory and computer program code configured to, with the processor, enable the apparatus at least to:
- receive an indication of disruption to a planned route of travel for a road vehicle following the planned route;
based on consideration of real-time contextual data in respect of a location in proximity to the current vehicle location against one or more predefined maneuvering criteria, dynamically identify a U-turn location on the planned route of travel at which it is possible for the vehicle to perform a U-turn onto a different route of travel; and
provide an indication of the dynamically identified U-turn location for use in route navigation onto the different route of travel.

Abstract
An apparatus comprising a processor and memory including computer program code, the memory and computer program code configured to, with the processor, enable the apparatus at least to:
- receive an indication of disruption to a planned route of travel for a road vehicle following the planned route;
- based on consideration of contextual data in respect of a location in proximity to the current vehicle location against one or more predefined manoeuvering criteria, dynamically identify a U-turn location on the planned route of travel at which it is possible for the vehicle to perform a U-turn onto a different route of travel; and
- provide an indication of the dynamically identified U-turn location for use in route navigation onto the different route of travel.

19. A method comprising:
-
receiving an indication of disruption to a planned route of travel for a road vehicle following the planned route; based on consideration of real-time sensor contextual data in respect of a location in proximity to the current vehicle location against one or more predefined maneuvering criteria, dynamically identifying a U-turn location on the planned route of travel at which it is possible for the vehicle to perform a U-turn onto a different route of travel; and providing an indication of the dynamically identified U-turn location for use in route navigation onto the different route of travel.

20. A computer program, recorded on a carrier, comprising computer code configured to:
-
based on consideration of real-time sensor contextual data in respect of a location in proximity to the current vehicle location against one or more predefined maneuvering criteria, dynamically identify a U-turn location on the planned route of travel at which it is possible for the vehicle to perform a U-turn onto a different route of travel; and provide an indication of the dynamically identified U-turn location for use in route navigation onto the different route of travel.
