Traveling information creating device, traveling information creating method and program
First Claim
1. A traveling information creating device, comprising:
- a collecting unit collecting probe information from each of a plurality of vehicles, the probe information collected from each vehicle comprising;
traveling information of each of a plurality of links; and
an average vehicle speed for each of a plurality of road types at least during uncongested traveling; and
a traffic information creating unit;
separating the collected traveling information into groups of links, each group of links corresponding to one of the plurality of road types;
for each group of links, classifying the traveling information for each vehicle into predetermined vehicle speed regions based on the average vehicle speed of that vehicle for the road type corresponding to the group of links, each vehicle speed region defining a predetermined range of vehicle velocity; and
statistically processing the traveling information of each link in each speed region for each road type to thereby create traveling information separately classified by both link and vehicle speed region.

Abstract
A CPU of a navigation device transmits probe information including link traveling information and average vehicle speed information at every predetermined time to an information distribution center. On the other hand, when receiving the probe information, a CPU of the information distribution center reads the road type corresponding to each link ID and user'"'"'s average vehicle speed during uncongested road traveling from the probe information, and determines the vehicle speed region corresponding to this link ID from a vehicle speed region determination table. Thereafter, the CPU of the information distribution center creates traffic information from this vehicle speed region and the probe information, stores it in a center side traffic information DB and statistically processes traffic information of a certain period to generate a link cost corresponding to a link ID and a time zone of a relevant vehicle speed region of statistical traffic information.
