Device for providing eco-driving information for a vehicle, comprising: a vehicle weight calculation unit (1) which is configured to calculate a current weight of the vehicle based on data received from a plurality of devices within the vehicle; a computing unit (3) for the
electrical load, which is equipped to calculate an
electrical load of auxiliary machines currently used in the vehicle; a vehicle speed calculation unit (5) configured to calculate, using a
route map, a fuel-efficiency-oriented vehicle speed that maximizes the vehicle's travel distance according to the calculated vehicle weight and
electrical load; and a
display device (7) which is set up to display the calculated
fuel efficiency-oriented vehicle speed to a user. where the weight of the vehicle is calculated from the
electricity consumption of a vehicle
drive motor, an air density, a
drag coefficient, a projection area of the vehicle, the vehicle speed, a
coefficient of friction of a current road on which the vehicle is traveling, the acceleration due to gravity and an inclination of the current road on which the vehicle is traveling, where the weight of the vehicle is calculated using the following equation m = ( TF + 1 2 ρ air C d AV 2 ) / ( μ g cos θ+ g sin θ ) where m represents vehicle weight, TF represents a driving force, ρ air which represents air density, C da
drag coefficient, A a projection area of the vehicle, V the vehicle speed, µ a
coefficient of friction of the current road, g the acceleration due to gravity of the vehicle, and θ the current inclination of the road, and The driving force is obtained from a relationship TF = P / V, where P represents the power input of the
drive motor and V represents the vehicle speed. wherein the vehicle weight calculation unit (1), the electrical load calculation unit (3) and the vehicle speed calculation unit (5) are incorporated into a
single chip and the
route map comprising the vehicle weight, electrical load and vehicle speed is embedded in the
chip.
