Abstract
A control device for a vehicle is configured to control the vehicle configured to perform an electric traveling using one or more electric motors driven by electric power from a battery. The control device includes a processor. The processor is configured to execute a calculation process of calculating an energy consumed by the electric traveling in a section from a first point to a second point of a planned travel route of the vehicle. In the calculation process, the processor is configured to: estimate whether or not a travel load of the section is high, based on road type of the section; and correct a basic value of the energy consumed, based on a correction efficient that differs depending on whether or not the travel load of the section is high.
Claims5
A control device for controlling a vehicle configured to perform an electric traveling using one or more electric motors driven by electric power from a battery, the control device comprising a processor configured to execute a calculation process of calculating an energy consumed by the electric traveling in a section from a first point to a second point of a planned travel route of the vehicle, wherein
- in the calculation process, the processor is configured to:
- estimate whether or not a travel load of the section is high, based on road type of the section;
- and
- correct a basic value of the energy consumed, based on a correction efficient that differs depending on whether or not the travel load of the section is high.
