  • Publication number: 20150142485
    Abstract: A probe information management device, includes: a probe condition specification unit that generates a condition input screen for a first user to designate, using an input device, specification conditions including a first area, a stopover location, a second area, and a date and time, and that outputs the condition input screen to an output device,; and a probe information acquisition unit that, based on the specification conditions, acquires specified probe information corresponding to a moving history of a vehicle that has passed through, in order, a ground point within the first area, the stopover location, and a ground point within the second area, wherein: the first area and the second area are both specified by drawing input, using the input device; and when outputting the specified probe information to the output device, the probe condition specification unit outputs the first area and the second area to the output device.

  • Publication number: 20140163877
    Abstract: A navigation system for an electric vehicle includes a telematics center, a display terminal, and a charging station. In response to a request from the display terminal, the telematics center sends a route search result, which is created based on information on an electric vehicle and the charging station and which includes base point information whose remaining battery capacity is to be confirmed, to the display terminal. The display terminal displays route guidance information, the current position, and a result of comparison between the current remaining battery capacity and the base point information to the user who is driving the electric vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20130261953
    Abstract: An object of the present information is to search for a route taking into account the charging times in the charging stations. When an electric automobile provided with a battery cannot reach a second point from a first point without the battery being charged in a charging station halfway, a route-search processing section specifies one or two or more charging stations, which the electric automobile is to pass through in order to reach the second point from the first point in a shorter time including a charging time in each of the charging stations and moving times among the charging stations, and derives a route for reaching the second point from the first point passing through the specified charging stations.
