DEVICE FOR ASSISTING IN PLANNING OF CHARGER PLACEMENT, METHOD FOR ASSISTING IN PLANNING OF CHARGER PLACEMENT, AND PROGRAM

摘要

A charger arrangement planning supporting apparatus includes a simulation unit 103 configured to simulate, on a virtual road network, movement of a plurality of virtual electric vehicles and consumption of rechargeable batteries and simulate situations of use of the plurality of virtual chargers arranged on the virtual road network and a charger determining unit 104 configured to select which of the virtual chargers is used to charge the virtual electric vehicle when the virtual electric vehicle needs to be charged on the basis of residual charge of the rechargeable battery and a present location of the virtual electric vehicle and a situation of use and a location of each of the chargers,. The simulation unit 103 outputs, after finishing the simulation, a movement history of the virtual electric vehicle and an operation history of the virtual charger.
