Abstract
An information processing apparatus acquires first data about an amount of fuel or power consumed when a first vehicle passes through a first road segment. Furthermore, the information processing apparatus acquires second data about amounts of fuel or power consumed when a plurality of second vehicles pass through the first road segment. Then, the information processing apparatus generates a result of comparing the fuel or power consumption amounts in the first road segment, between the first vehicle and the plurality of second vehicles, based on the first and second data, and maps the result of the comparison on the first road segment on a road map.
Claims20
An information processing apparatus comprising a controller, the controller being configured to execute:
- acquiring first data about an amount of fuel or power consumed when a first vehicle passes through a first road segment;
- acquiring second data about amounts of fuel or power consumed when a plurality of second vehicles pass through the first road segment;
- and
- generating a result of comparing the fuel or power consumption amounts in the first road segment, between the first vehicle and the plurality of second vehicles, based on the first and second data, and mapping the result of the comparison on the first road segment on a road map.
An information processing apparatus comprising a controller, the controller being configured to execute:
- acquiring, from each of a plurality of vehicles, first data indicating a position of each vehicle and second data about an amount of fuel or power consumed by each vehicle, and storing the first and second data into a database;
- accepting a specification of one or more first road segments from a first apparatus associated with the first vehicle;
- and
- extracting, from the database, third data about an amount of fuel or power consumed by a second vehicle in the one or more first road segments, and transmitting the third data to the first apparatus.
