ROUTE EVALUATION APPARATUS

Abstract:

A route-evaluation-apparatus evaluating a route of a worker: including a microprocessor and memory. The microprocessor functions as: an information-acquisition-unit acquiring location-information of the worker calculated based on GPS-signals, and acquiring time-information about when the location-information is calculated. The route-evaluation-apparatus further includes: a display-unit displaying plotted-points corresponding to the location information, and an icon-placement-unit placing a first icon and second icon on the travel route. The microprocessor functions as: a start-point/end-point-selection-unit selecting an end-point corresponding to the second-icon, and a required-time-calculation-unit calculating a required-time-period for a section from the start-point to the end-point. The travel-route sequentially passes through predetermined-areas in a predetermined-passing-order. The icon-placement-unit places the first-icons on each entering-points of the predetermined-areas, and place the second-icons on each exiting-points of the predetermined-areas. The required-time-calculation-unit calculates the required-time-period for each of the sections corresponding to the predetermined-areas.
