Abstract
A control system is arranged to: receive energy information for a vehicle; divide route data into a plurality of route segments comprising first and second route segments; wherein each route segment is indicative of a portion of the route, a first route segment precedes a second route segment along the route, and the length of the first portion is smaller than the length of the second portion of the route; determine an energy requirement for each route segment in dependence on the energy information; and output the energy requirement for the plurality of route segments.
