Predictive and adaptive movement support apparatus, movement support method, and driving support system for a hybrid vehicle for mode driving section optimization

摘要

A movement support apparatus that supports movement of a vehicle having an internal combustion engine and a motor as drive sources from a current location to a destination includes: a setup unit that sets up any driving mode of an EV mode and an HV mode for each section, into which a driving route from the current location to the destination is partitioned, when a running load for running in each section is set; and a change unit that changes the driving mode in a part of each section of the driving route to a driving mode other than the driving mode set up by the setup unit on: the basis of at least one of a running environment including a running state of the vehicle and a road environment and the miming load as consumption of the battery necessary for running in the EV mode.
