CHEAP VEHICLE ROUTING Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC G06Q50/30 G01C21/34 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: disclosed is a method of determining a cheap vehicle route, involving: gathering data in a vehicle navigation system (VNS) for a plurality of routes between two locations; weighting two or more of the possible routes in the VNS based at least on the gathered data; adjusting the weighting in the VNS for each weighted route based on projected fuel consumption; determining an optimal fuel usage route in the VNS based on the adjusted weighting; correlating one or more elements of the gathered data with one or more energy-generating systems of the vehicle, wherein weighting is based at least in part on an indication, based on the gathered data, that on a section or the entire possible route there are favourable conditions for generating energy through recuperation thereof during movement of the vehicle; and outputting at least one calculated optimal fuel usage route.

EFFECT: determining the shortest route, outputting an optimal fuel usage route.
