Abstract

Various embodiments relate to determining a route for efficient energy consumption. Data defining one or more routes and one or more consumption influencing parameters which influence a consumption of an energy source of the vehicle along the one or more routes may be received at a vehicle computer. Based on the route data and the consumption influencing parameters, at least one route which minimizes the consumption of the energy source for the vehicle may be determined. For the at least one route, one or more braking strategies may be determined for implementation by a vehicle operator in the vehicle in accordance with reducing the consumption of the vehicle energy source. The one or more braking strategies may be output in the vehicle.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of foreign priority from German patent application DE 10 2010 030 309.7 filed on June 21, 2010, the entire content of which is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0002] Various embodiments relate to systems and methods for route determination. In some embodiments, the determined route ensures efficient use of vehicle energy consumption. Background technique [0003] The choice of routes plays an important role in minimizing the energy consumption of motor vehicles. While various criteria for determining a route may exist, it is most common to construct a navigation system in such a way as to determine the shortest and / or fastest route from an origin to a destination. [0004] In some cases, the shortest route may be the most efficient in terms of energy consumption. However, if the shortest route leads through, for example, an urban area where energy consumption increases due to frequent traffic-related stops and ...
