Abstract: A system and a method of assisting a driver in driving an electric vehicle in a more environmentally efficient manner are disclosed. In particular, an information collecting section collects information operating the electric vehicle and a control logic section generates control logic and models related to route calculation to a destination and operation of the electric vehicle based on the collected information. A route setting section calculates a plurality of travel routes based on the control logic and the model related to the route calculation and sets an optimum travel route having the highest energy efficiency among the plurality of travel routes. A vehicle driving controller monitors the vehicle state and controls driving of the electric vehicle based on the control logic and the model related to the driving of the electric vehicle when the electric vehicle travels along the optimum travel route set by the route setting section.

Abstract: Disclosed is drive mode guide system for a vehicle provided with a plurality of drive modes. More specifically, a road information storage unit stores information related a road state. A real-time information storage unit receives and stores environmental information in real time. A vehicle information storage unit stores information related to the vehicle. A control unit then extracts a possible-traveling path and a drive mode and an outputs the possible-traveling path. A suggested drive mode received from the control unit based on the information stored in the road information storage unit, the real-time information storage unit, and the vehicle information storage unit.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device and method for controlling driving operations of a vehicle in a coasting situation. The device may include a vehicle speed detector, a coasting drivable range operator, and a controller. The vehicle speed detector detects a current vehicle speed when signals from an accelerator position sensor and a brake pedal position sensor are both zero (0). The coasting drivable range operator determines whether or not coasting is possible by receiving a current location of the vehicle, road conditions and location information, and information related to an inter-vehicle distance when the current vehicle speed is equal to or greater than a certain speed. The controller turns off a motor in response to determining that the coating is possible when an inter-vehicle distance between the vehicle and a preceding vehicle is equal to or greater than a predetermined distance.

Abstract: An eco driving system for an electric vehicle and a method thereof is disclosed. The eco driving system may include: a route generator that generates at least one candidate route from a current position to a destination; an information collector that collects real time traffic information, weather information, and an air conditioning load of the vehicle; an energy consumption amount calculator that calculates energy consumption amount of each candidate route based on 3D geographical information of the candidate route and the real time traffic information, the weather information, and the air conditioning load of the vehicle; a driver tendency detector that analyzes a driver's driving pattern to determine the driving tendency; a data base portion that stores each program and data for guiding the eco driving; and a control portion that selects an echo driving route from the candidate routes corresponding to the driving tendency.
