System and method for hybrid off-board navigation
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, at a server from a navigation device, a route request message including;
routing information related to a route from a starting point to a destination;
a location of the navigation device; and
vehicle attributes that correspond to a vehicle associated with the navigation device;
generating a route correction message including a multi-stop route to the destination based on;
the location of the navigation device;
the vehicle attributes provided by the navigation device; and
a set of fleet rules associated with a plurality of vehicles including the vehicle associated with the navigation device,wherein the vehicle attributes include one or more of a vehicle height, a vehicle weight, and load restrictions, andwherein the multi-stop route is further based on expected changes to one or more of the vehicle attributes during transit; and
sending the route correction message to the navigation device.

Abstract
A system, method and apparatus for hybrid off-board vehicle navigation are disclosed. In the system, a multi-stop route package is created and sent from a route server to a navigation device. The route package can include a collection of vehicle attributes and corresponding road restrictions for guiding the vehicle towards its destination. The server can optionally push the route package to the vehicle in an email message or other stored communication. When an off-route condition is detected, the navigation device can send a route request to the server that includes the vehicle attributes and the corresponding road restrictions. The server can respond with a partial route correction that is determined based on the vehicle attributes and road restrictions.
