Computer-Implemented System and Method for Generating Map Data With Energy Consumption Forecast Values

A computer-implemented method for generating map data with energy consumption forecast values for use in energy management of an electric vehicle, the method comprising:

• a) loading base map data which comprises a network of road sections;
• b) carrying out the following actions for each road section:
• b1) determining a set of neighboring road sections using the base map data;
• b2) calculating transition vectors for each combination of the road section and a neighboring road section using the base map data;
• b3) calculating an energy consumption value for each transition vector using an energy consumption forecast model;
• and
• b4) calculating an energy consumption forecast value of the road section using the calculated energy consumption value for each transition vector;
• and
• c) providing map data comprising the network of road sections and the calculated energy consumption forecast values.
