1. A travel energy learning device comprising:
- a road section identifying unit that identifies a road section where the host vehicle is currently located;
a work rate information deriving unit that derives a work rate of the transmission shaft based on a rotational speed of a transmission shaft that transmits a driving force from a drive source of the host vehicle to a wheel and torque transmitted by the transmission shaft; and
an energy information accumulating unit that derives information that indicates the energy required for traveling the road section based on the derived work rate during travel of the host vehicle through the road section, links the derived information that indicates the energy required for traveling the road section to the road section, and accumulates the information that indicates the energy required for traveling the road section.

Abstract
A road section where the host vehicle is currently located is identified and the work rate of a transmission shaft, which transmits a driving force from a drive source of a host vehicle to a wheel, is derived based on a rotational speed and the torque transmitted by the transmission shaft. The energy required to travel through the road section is linked to the road section and accumulated based on the work rate derived while the host vehicle travels through the road section.
