Automatic assistance for route planning
First Claim
1. A method for automatically assisting route planning between a starting point and a destination, comprising steps of:
- ascertaining one or more traffic routes between the starting point and the destination with a traffic route ascertainment unit, wherein at least one means of transport from a plurality of different means of transport is associated with each respective traffic route of the one or more traffic routes;
ascertaining emission information with an emission ascertainment unit for each respective traffic route of the one or more traffic routes on the basis ofthe at least one means of transport associated with the respective traffic route,a traffic route length of the respective traffic route, andstatistical average values for energy consumptions of individual means of transport from the plurality of different means of transport, wherein the emission information is further based on emission increases resulting from current traffic information including hindrances or delays; and
assisting the route planning between the starting point and the destination on the basis of the emission information.

Abstract
A method is provided for automatically assisting the route planning between a starting point and a destination.
At least one respective traffic route is ascertained between the starting point and the destination for different means of transport by a traffic route ascertainment unit. The at least one means of transport is associated with the respective traffic route.
Emission information is ascertained by an emission ascertainment unit for each traffic route on the basis of the means of transport which are associated therewith and on the basis of the traffic route length of the respective traffic route.
The route planning is assisted between starting point and destination on the basis of the emission information.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium for assisting route planning between a starting point and a destination, the non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions which, when executed by a data processing installation, cause said data processing installation to perform steps of:
-
ascertaining one or more traffic routes between the starting point and the destination with a traffic route ascertainment unit, wherein at least one means of transport from a plurality of different means of transport is associated with each respective traffic route of the one or more traffic routes; ascertaining emission information with an emission ascertainment unit for each respective traffic route of the one or more traffic routes on the basis of the at least one means of transport associated with the respective traffic route, a traffic route length of the respective traffic route, and statistical average values for energy consumptions of individual means of transport from the plurality of different means of transport, wherein the emission information is further based on emission increases resulting from current traffic information including hindrances or delays; and assisting the route planning between the starting point and the destination on the basis of the emission information.

11. An apparatus for automatically assisting route planning between a starting point and a destination, comprising:
-
a traffic route ascertainment unit configured to ascertain one or more traffic routes between the starting point and the destination and to associate at least one means of transport from a plurality of different means of transport with each respective traffic route of the one or more traffic routes; and an emission ascertainment unit configured to ascertain emission information for each respective traffic route of the one or more traffic routes on the basis of the at least one means of transport associated with the respective traffic route, the traffic route length of the respective traffic route, and statistical average values for energy consumptions of individual means of transport from the plurality of different means of transport, wherein the emission information is further based on emission increases resulting from current traffic information including hindrances or delays, wherein the apparatus is configured to assist the route planning between the starting point and the destination on the basis of the emission information. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
