Route calculation system, route calculation device, route calculation method, and computer program

A route calculation device that determines, for each of a plurality of route calculation conditions, an adequate route meeting the route calculation condition as a route from a departure point to a destination, the route calculation device comprising:

• area determining module for determining an area including a computing object that is target to compute a route calculation cost;
• computing condition acquiring module for acquiring an area cost computing condition in which an element giving influence on the route calculation cost is associated with a computing condition for the route calculation cost for the computing object including the element, for each of the plurality of route calculation conditions and for each area;
• and
• route determining module for determining, for each route calculation condition, the adequate route from the departure point to the destination using the route calculation cost computed based on the area determined by the area determining module and the area cost computing condition associated with the area.

A route calculation method that determines, for each of a plurality of route calculation conditions, an adequate route meeting the route calculation condition as a route from a departure point to a destination, the route calculation method comprising:

• area determining step of determining an area including a computing object that is target to compute a route calculation cost;
• computing condition acquiring step of acquiring an area cost computing condition in which an element giving influence on the route calculation cost is associated with a computing condition for the route calculation cost for the computing object including the element, for each of the plurality of route calculation conditions and for each area;
• and
• route determining step of determining, for each route calculation condition, the adequate route from the departure point to the destination using the route calculation cost computed based on the area determined at the area determining step and the area cost computing condition associated with the area.

A computer program contained on a non-transitory readable medium that causes a computer to determine, for each of a plurality of route calculation conditions, an adequate route meeting the route calculation condition as a route from a departure point to a destination, the computer program operable for causing the computer to execute:

• area determining function of determining an area including a computing object that is target to compute a route calculation cost;
• computing condition acquiring function of acquiring an area cost computing condition in which an element giving influence on the route calculation cost is associated with a computing condition for the route calculation cost for the computing object including the element, for each of the plurality of route calculation conditions and for each area;
• and
• route determining function of determining, for each route calculation condition, the adequate route from the departure point to the destination using the route calculation cost computed based on the area determined by the area determining function and the area cost computing condition associated with the area.
