See full text

A method of adjusting a navigation route based on detected passenger sleep data includes generating a predetermined route with a device installed in a vehicle, providing navigational assistance for guiding a driver to follow the predetermined route, receiving sleep indicators for a passenger traveling in the vehicle, the sleep indicators indicating whether the passenger is sleeping, calculating a sleep session duration for the passenger according to the sleep indicators, generating with the device an alternate route in response to the sleep session duration exceeding a first time threshold, wherein the alternate route provides a longer route that requires more travel time than the predetermined route, providing navigational assistance to the driver for guiding the driver to follow the alternate route, and providing navigational assistance to the driver for guiding the driver to return to the predetermined route after the vehicle has followed the alternate route.
