Abstract
A running time estimation system according to the present invention is provided with a receiver for receiving running data including a plurality of time and position data having a predetermined time and a vehicle position of different vehicles at the predetermined time by use of a wireless communication system, a running data processor for generating running time estimation data in which the received running data is associated with road information from which a position and a length of a road can be determined, and a running time estimation unit for calculating a running time between designated positions by using the generated running time estimation data.
Claims15
A running time estimation apparatus installed in a vehicle to estimate a running time between designated positions, comprising:
- a running data receiver configured to receive running data including a plurality of time and position data having a predetermined time and a vehicle position of different vehicles at the predetermined time by use of a wireless communication system;
- a running time estimation data generator configured to generate running time estimation data in which the running data received by the running data receiver is associated with road information from which a position and length of a road can be determined;
- and
- a running time calculator configured to calculate a running time between the designated positions by using the running time estimation data generated by the running time estimation data generator.
A running data relay apparatus installed in a vehicle, comprising:
- a running data generator configured to generate running data including a plurality of time and position data having the predetermined time and a vehicle position of the vehicle at the predetermined time;
- and
- a running data transmitter configured to transmit the running data generated by the running data generator by use of a wireless communication system.
A running time estimation system including a running data relay apparatus, and a running time estimation apparatus for estimating a running time between designated positions, which are installed in a vehicle, wherein
