RUNNING PATTERN CALCULATING APPARATUS AND RUNNING PATTERN CALCULATING METHOD
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A running pattern calculating apparatus that calculates a running pattern in a path along which a vehicle will travel, comprising:
- a road information storage portion that stores road information;
a running state predicting portion that predicts a running state when the vehicle will travel on a road, based on the road information stored in the road information storage portion;
an evaluation function setting portion that divides the road into a plurality of sections based on the running state predicted by the running state predicting portion, and sets an evaluation function for each road section; and
a running pattern calculating portion that calculates a running pattern of the vehicle that will travel on the road, based on the evaluation function set for each road section by the evaluation function setting portion.
