Computer-supported monitoring of an energy consumption of a means of transportation

A method for computer-supported monitoring of an energy consumption of a transportation device, the method which comprises:

• receiving measurement data by least one measurement device, the measurement data specifying a current energy consumption of the transportation device;
• determining energy consumption data from the measurement data with a processing unit, the consumption data specifying an energy consumption of the transportation device on a given route;
• retrieving comparison data from a database, the comparison data specifying an energy consumption of transportation devices on previous journeys on the given route;
• and
• comparing the energy consumption data with the comparison data to form energy consumption information and outputting the energy consumption information through an output to an operator of the transportation device.

A system for computer-supported monitoring of an energy consumption of a transportation device, the system comprising:

• an interface configured for receiving measurement data from a least one measurement device, the measurement data specifying a current energy consumption of the transportation device;
• a processing unit programmed for determining energy consumption data from the measurement data, the energy consumption data specifying an energy consumption of the transportation device on a route;
• a data memory containing a database with comparison data specifying an energy consumption of the transportation device on previous journeys on the route;
• said processing unit being programmed to form energy consumption information from a comparison of the energy consumption data with the comparison data;
• and
• an output device configured for outputting the energy consumption information to an operator of the transportation device.
