Abstract
A method for performing a function of a vehicle includes determining a current vehicle location of the vehicle. The method also includes determining a probability of a start of a next journey within a time window for each of a set of time windows depending on the determined current vehicle location. A departure time window is predicted for the start of the next journey, wherein the departure time window for the start of the next journey is a time window of the set of time windows for which the determined probability has the highest value. The method further includes performing the function of the vehicle if the determined probability of the predicted departure time window exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
