DE102018001234A1 - Method for determining and issuing travel costs of a vehicle - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for determining and outputting travel costs (K) of a vehicle, wherein the determination of the travel costs (K) is carried out on the basis of a fuel consumption (KV) of the vehicle and fuel costs (KK) and the travel costs (K) to a vehicle user be issued. According to the invention, when determining the fuel consumption (KV), a traffic flow (V), a driving behavior (F) of a driver of the vehicle and a route information concerning route information (R) are taken into account. When determining the fuel costs (KK), a tank behavior (T) of the driver is taken into account, the tank behavior (T) being determined taking into account a time of day (Z), a current fuel price (P) and a driver-preferred gas station (TS).

Description

The invention relates to a method for determining and outputting travel costs of a vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1.

The DE 10 2015 213 064 A1 describes a vehicle having a system for informing a driver of the vehicle of consumption data and associated costs due to his driving style. The system comprises means for determining a fuel consumption of the vehicle, means for determining a current fuel price, means for calculating the cost of fuel consumption and means for displaying the determined values. In this case, a comparison device is present, which compares the determined values with stored values of a different driving style. The particular differences are presented on the means for display.

The invention is based on the object to provide a comparison with the prior art improved vehicle.

The object is achieved in terms of the method for determining and output of travel costs of a vehicle according to the invention by the features specified in claim 1.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

In a method for determining and outputting traveling costs of a vehicle, the determination of the traveling costs is performed based on fuel consumption of the vehicle and fuel costs, and the travel costs are output to a vehicle user.

According to the invention, a traffic flow, a driving behavior of a driver of the vehicle and a route traveled route information are taken into account in determining the fuel consumption. In determining the fuel costs, a fueling behavior of the driver is taken into account, wherein the fuel behavior is determined taking into account a time of day, a current fuel price and a fueling station preferred by the driver.

The information about the travel costs, the driver has an overview of the actual travel costs, for example, without the cost of wear of the vehicle and without further possible costs incurred during a trip. This is especially interesting for drivers of a rental car.

Embodiments of the invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to a drawing.

Showing:

• 1 a block diagram of an apparatus for determining and output of travel costs of a vehicle

In the only one 1 is a block diagram of a device 1 for determining and issuing travel expenses K of a vehicle. The device 1 in this case comprises a data processing unit 2 and an output unit 3 ,

The determination of travel costs K is by means of the data processing unit 2 fuel consumption of the vehicle and fuel costs KK carried out. These are used to determine the fuel consumption KV a traffic flow V , a driving behavior F a driver of the vehicle and a route route related route information R considered. In determining the fuel costs KK becomes a tank behavior T the driver takes into account the tank behavior T considering a time of day Z , a current fuel price P and a driver-preferred gas station TS is determined.

The calculated travel costs K be a vehicle user, for example, the driver of the vehicle, in particular based on a last performed ride, by means of the output unit 3 optically and / or acoustically output.
