Abstract: A system includes a processor configured to access a train schedule to determine active train crossings along an original route, based on a predicted vehicle-arrival time at a given crossing. The processor is also configured to determine that a driver identity has an avoidance parameter associated therewith and determine a new route avoiding active train crossings, if possible, responsive to the avoidance parameter and determination of at least one active train crossing along the original route.

Abstract: A system includes a processor configured to determine that a vehicle is in a parked state. The processor is also configured to detect a user device wireless signal, at one or more vehicle antennas. The processor is further configured to determine a primary return vector antenna based on the detected wireless signal and periodically broadcast a vehicle wireless signal from the one or more antennas, wherein if there is more than one antenna, the processor is configured to broadcast the signal more frequently from the primary return vector antenna. A mobile device can act responsively to the received signals, providing an indicator assisting in directional vehicle location.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a powertrain having a battery-powered electric machine. The vehicle also includes a controller programmed to display, on a geographical map, at least one contour line indicating an available driving distance from a current location. The distance of the contour line from the current location is based on energy stored within the battery and predicted energy consumption due to driving along each of a plurality of possible routes originating from the current location. The predicted energy consumption is updated based on energy depletion events that occur during driving.
