Device for predicting energy consumption and method for predicting energy consumption

摘要

A device for predicting energy consumption includes an obtaining unit (110), an air resistance calculating unit (140, 150), and an energy consumption predicting unit (150). The obtaining unit (110) is configured to obtain road information including traveling speed information set for each route. The air resistance calculating unit (140, 150) is configured to calculate air resistance as a calculated air resistance value by an air resistance calculation formula on the basis of the traveling speed information of the scheduled traveling route and to correct the calculated air resistance value so that the air resistance is higher according as the traveling speed along the scheduled traveling route is lower. The air resistance is caused when a vehicle travels along a scheduled traveling route. The energy consumption predicting unit (150) is configured to predict an energy consumption of the scheduled traveling route on the basis of the corrected air resistance value.

1. A device for predicting energy consumption comprising:
an obtaining unit configured to obtain road information including traveling speed information set for each route; an air resistance calculating unit configured to
calculate air resistance as a calculated air resistance value by using an air calculation formula on a basis of the traveling speed information of a scheduled traveling route, air resistance being caused when a vehicle travels along the scheduled traveling route, andcorrect the calculated air resistance value so that the calculated air resistance increases as a traveling speed along the scheduled traveling route decreases; and an energy consumption predicting unit configured to predict energy consumption over the scheduled traveling route on a basis of the corrected calculated air resistance value.
