Vehicle energy-management device for controlling energy consumption along a travel route

摘要

A vehicle energy-management device is used for a vehicle that is equipped with a plurality of vehicle apparatuses driven by different energy sources. The vehicle energy-management device includes a travel route calculator that calculates a travel route of the vehicle, a travel route divider that divides the travel route into a plurality of sections, a control plan preparing unit that prepares, for each of the plurality of sections, a control plan for the plurality of vehicle apparatuses, and a vehicle apparatus controller that controls the plurality of vehicle apparatuses according to the control plan. The travel route divider determines a length of each of the sections such that a resolution is higher for a section closer to the vehicle and divides the travel route.
