Abstract
A method provides a route-specific service to a user of a vehicle. The method includes receiving a set of driven navigation routes of the vehicle, and identifying navigation route clusters using the set of driven navigation routes. The method also includes training a machine learning method using the identified navigation route clusters as training data. The method further includes receiving a characteristic of a current journey of the vehicle, and predicting a probability for each identified navigation route cluster of the vehicle depending on the received characteristic, using the trained machine learning method. A navigation route cluster with the highest predicted probability is identified, and the route-specific service is provided to the user of the vehicle for the current journey if the navigation route cluster with the highest predicted probability has a probability value that exceeds a predetermined threshold.
