Abstract
A driving control device mounted on a vehicle includes a processor. The processor is configured to create a speed profile. The processor is configured to approximate the speed profile by a predetermined approximate model and estimate a predicted amount of regenerative energy based on an approximation result. The processor is configured to set, based on the predicted amount of regenerative energy, a first region and a second region in the approximation result as a region in which the vehicle travels using an electric motor, the first region being a region from a timing of starting of the vehicle until first time has elapsed from the timing of starting of the vehicle, and the second region being a region from a timing of deceleration of the vehicle until second time has elapsed from the timing of deceleration of the vehicle.
