VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM

To create a suitable electric power generation plan at a wider scene.SOLUTION: This vehicle control system comprises: a power generation part including an internal combustion engine which outputs power which is used by an electric motor, and the electric motor which generates electric power by use of power; a storage battery which stores generated electric power; an electric motor for travelling which is connected to a drive wheel of a vehicle, and rotates the drive wheel by use of electric power supplied from the storage battery; a storage part which stores a travel history in which consumption energy of the vehicle and information which indicates travel environment of the vehicle are correlated with each other on a route from a departure point to a destination point of the vehicle; an extraction part which collates current positional information concerning the vehicle and information which indicates current travel environment with the travel history, and extracts a travel history whose coincidence degree is a specified value or more; a future consumption amount estimation part which estimates consumption amount which is consumed by the vehicle in future on the basis of a consumption energy correlated with a pattern of a travel history in which consumption energy of the vehicle is highest or a travel history in which a frequency of occurrence is highest; and a control part which operates the power generation part on the basis of the estimated consumption amount.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】より幅広い場面において、適切な発電計画を生成する。【解決手段】電動機によって使用される動力を出力する内燃機関と、動力を用いて発電する前記電動機とを含む発電部と、発電された電力を蓄える蓄電池と、車両の駆動輪に連結され、前記蓄電池から供給される電力を用いて駆動輪を回転させる走行用電動機と、車両の出発地から目的地までの経路に、車両の消費エネルギと車両の走行環境を示す情報とが対応付けられた走行履歴を記憶する記憶部と、車両の現在の位置情報および走行環境を示す情報と走行履歴とを照合し、合致度が所定値以上の走行履歴を抽出する抽出部と、車両の消費エネルギが最も高い走行履歴、または、出現頻度が最も高い走行履歴のパターンに対応付けられた消費エネルギに基づいて、車両が将来消費する消費量を推定する将来消費量推定部と、推定された消費量に基づいて、前記発電部を稼働させる制御部とを備える。【選択図】図２
