Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and program products are disclosed for reducing road travel costs. By use of a processor, multiple routes that a vehicle may traverse to get from a starting point to a selected destination are determined. A projected mileage that the vehicle will traverse to get from the starting point to the selected destination for each route is dynamically calculated. A cost associated with each route is determined based at least in part on the projected mileage for the respective route.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory that stores code executable by the processor, the code comprising:
- code that determines a plurality of routes that a vehicle may traverse to get from a starting point to a selected destination;
- code that dynamically calculates a projected mileage that the vehicle will traverse to get from the starting point to the selected destination for each route of the plurality of routes;
- and
- code that determines a cost associated with each route of the plurality of routes based at least in part on the projected mileage for the respective route.
A method comprising:
- determining, by use of a processor, a plurality of routes that a vehicle may traverse to get from a starting point to a selected destination;
- dynamically calculating a projected mileage that the vehicle will traverse to get from the starting point to the selected destination for each route of the plurality of routes;
- and
- determining a cost associated with each route of the plurality of routes based at least in part on the projected mileage for the respective route.
A program product comprising a computer readable storage medium that stores code executable by a processor, the executable code comprising code to perform:
- determining a plurality of routes that a vehicle may traverse to get from a starting point to a selected destination;
- dynamically calculating a projected mileage that the vehicle will traverse to get from the starting point to the selected destination for each route of the plurality of routes;
- and
- determining a cost associated with each route of the plurality of routes based at least in part on the projected mileage for the respective route.
