A travel distance estimating apparatus (100) estimates a travel distance of a moving body in a given section through which the moving body travels (hereinafter referred to as a “travel interval”). A current position acquiring unit (101) acquires the current position of the moving body. A variable acquiring unit (102) acquires information related to the speed of the moving body in the travel interval. An estimating unit (103) estimates based on a consumed energy estimating equation, energy consumption and a travelable distance for travel through the travel interval. A correcting unit (104) corrects information related to the moving body and used as variables of the consumed energy estimating equation. A storage unit (105) stores information related to roads associated with a travel history of the moving body. A display unit (110) displays map data including information related to travelable distance calculated by the estimating unit (103).
A travel distance estimating apparatus comprising an estimating unit that estimates energy consumption for a moving body to travel through a travel interval, based on a consumed energy estimating equation made up of first information related to energy consumed during stop of the moving body while a drive source in an operating state, second information related to energy consumed and recovered during acceleration/deceleration of the moving body, and third information related to energy consumed by resistance generated during travel of the moving body.
A travel distance estimating method of a travel distance estimating apparatus that estimates energy consumption of a moving body, the travel distance estimating method comprising
