Tire management device, program, and tire management method

Abstract

A tire management device, program, and tire management method are provided that can comprehensively evaluate the fuel consumption and tire wear of a vehicle. [Solution] The tire management device (10) includes an acquisition unit (131) that acquires vehicle driving data, which includes data on the vehicle's movement detected by a detection device mounted on the vehicle, and tire data, which is data on the tires; a wear amount prediction unit (132) that predicts the amount of wear per unit distance of the tires mounted on the vehicle based on the vehicle driving data and tire data for each route; a fuel consumption prediction unit (133) that predicts the amount of fuel consumed per unit distance due to the tires mounted on the vehicle based on the vehicle driving data and tire data for each route; and an evaluation unit (134) that evaluates the tires mounted on the vehicle using an evaluation value based on the vehicle driving data, tire data, wear amount, and fuel consumption for each route.

Claims
