A prototype fuel-efficiency support tool

摘要

An effective way to reduce fuel consumption in the short run is to induce a change in driver behaviour. If drivers are prepared to change their driving habits they can complete the same journeys within similar travel times, but using significantly less fuel. In this paper, a prototype fuel-efficiency support tool is presented which helps drivers make the necessary behavioural adjustment. The support tool includes a normative model that back-calculates the minimal fuel consumption for Manoeuvres carried out.
