Abstract

Ce dispositif de planification de voyage est équipé d'un détecteur d'itinéraire pour détecter un itinéraire vers une destination, d'un calculateur de charge de déplacement pour calculer des informations relatives à la charge de déplacement de l'itinéraire, et d'un calculateur de plan de déplacement servant à calculer un programme de voyage en fonction de l'itinéraire à suivre et des informations relatives à la charge de déplacement de l'itinéraire. Lorsque la distance jusqu'à la destination est inférieure à une distance seuil, le calculateur de plan de déplacement planifie un mode de conduite en fonction des informations de charge de déplacement des trajets aller et retour entre la destination et une position de référence détectée par le détecteur d'itinéraire et lorsque la distance jusqu'à la destination est égale ou supérieure à la distance seuil, le calculateur de planification de voyage planifie un mode de conduite en fonction des informations de charge de déplacement d'un trajet aller vers la destination à partir d'une position de référence détectée par le détecteur d'itinéraire. Un programme de voyage permettant une amélioration en termes de consommation de carburant peut ainsi être créé.
