Claim Text:
1. A real-time information service apparatus, comprising: a calculating unit to calculate a topographical factor related to a road and a behavioral factor related to a speed to produce an eco-driving index of the road; and a providing unit to provide real-time notification information to a driver based on the topographical factor and the behavioral factor; wherein the calculating unit calculates the topographical factor per unit time and the behavioral factor per unit time for the road, and calculates an average of the topographical factor and an average of the behavioral factor for each of at least one area among a unit section, a link section, and a section between junctions along the entire road; wherein the providing unit displays the topographical factor and the behavioral factor for each area of a predetermined road section in response to a request by the driver, and displays the average of the topographical factor and the average of the behavioral factor; wherein the topographical factor includes a gradient of the road calculated per unit time and a curvature of the road calculated per unit time; and wherein the calculating unit classifies variables associated with the topographical factor or the behavioral factor into at least two grades, stores different combinations with respect to the at least two grades of variables associated with the topographical factor and the behavioral factor, and produces the eco-driving index of the road by selecting at least one combination from the different combinations stored.
