Abstract:
A wind data estimating apparatus includes one or more processors configured to collect vehicle information including a first acceleration, an amount of driving operation performed by a driver of a vehicle, and position information, which are obtained by sensors installed in the vehicle; classify the collected vehicle information by an area of a plurality of areas according to the position information; and estimate a wind velocity and a wind direction for the area and for a time range when the vehicle information is obtained, on the basis of an acceleration obtained from subtracting a second acceleration caused by the amount of driving operation from the first acceleration included in the vehicle information classified by the area.
