A method and apparatus is disclosed for evaluating the driving of a vehicle performing a journey on a road network, comprising determining at least one constant speed zone of the road network, a constant speed zone being a portion of the road network at which the vehicle can travel at a constant speed, said determination being based upon expected speeds of travel along the road network determined from positional data relating to the movements of a plurality of vehicles over time along the road network. A speed of the vehicle traversing the road network is determined at a plurality of times during the journey, and a value indicative of a consistency of the speed of the vehicle within the at least one constant speed zone is further determined.

A method and apparatus for estimating battery life are provided. A method of estimating battery life may involve estimating first status information of a battery based on battery information acquired from the battery, estimating second status information of the battery using a partial cycle model corresponding to a battery degradation pattern for a partial cycle, and calculating the battery life based on a comparison between the first status information and the second status information.

An information processing device that is able to communicate with a vehicle includes: a control unit; and a communication unit. The control unit acquires driving information of another vehicle traveling around the vehicle via the communication unit, and transmits at least part of the driving information to the vehicle via the communication unit when the driving information indicates content of driving that reduces wear and tear of a component of the other vehicle.
