Driving characteristics detector and route search device

A driving characteristics detector comprising:

• a central processing unit (CPU), the CPU is configured to
• obtain, in a driving information obtaining element, driving information, which relates to a driving condition of a vehicle;
• and
• determine, in a driving characteristics determining element, driving characteristics of a driver of the vehicle based on the driving information,
• wherein the driving information includes vehicle speed relating information, which relates to at least one of a vehicle speed, acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle,
• wherein a driving unit section is defined as a section from the vehicle starts to go until the vehicle stops, and
• wherein the driving characteristics determining element determines the driving characteristics based on the vehicle speed relating information in each driving unit section;
• wherein the CPU is further configured to
• determine, in a second adaptation determination element, based on the driving information in each driving unit section whether the vehicle speed relating information in the driving unit section is suitable for determining the driving characteristics, wherein the second adaptation determining element determines that the vehicle speed relating information is not suitable for determining the driving characteristics when a brake operation is performed in a startup period,
• wherein the driving characteristics determining element determines the driving characteristics based on the vehicle speed relating information other than not-suitable vehicle speed relating information in the driving unit section.
