FUEL CONSUMPTION PREDICTION DEVICE, FUEL CONSUMPTION PREDICTION METHOD, FUEL CONSUMPTION PREDICTION PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

A fuel consumption prediction device (100) predicts the quantity of fuel consumption by a vehicle in a specified segment. A prediction unit (101) uses a first numerical equation to predict the quantity of fuel consumed in the specified segment before the start of travel in the specified segment. An estimation unit (102) uses a second numerical equation, using the acceleration of the vehicle during travel on the specified segment as a variable, to estimate the quantity of fuel consumed during travel on the specified segment. A correction unit (103) corrects the first numerical equation based on the quantity of fuel consumption predicted by the prediction unit (101) and the quantity of fuel consumption estimated by the estimation unit (102).
