This exploratory study investigates the potential of developing an Eco-Driving application that utilizes an eco-cruise control (ECC) system within state-of-the-art car-following models. The research focuses on integrating predictive cruise control and optimal vehicle acceleration and deceleration controllers within car-following models to minimize vehicle fuel consumption levels. This system makes use of topographic information, spacing to lead vehicle, and a desired (or target) vehicle speed and distance headway as input variables.
Non-Obd Car Trip Computer for Intelligent Fuel Consumption Reduction
With the rising trend of oil prices the need to reduce fuel consumption in commercial vehicles is becoming even more emphasized. As gasoline prices have been literally tripled in the past few years fuel efficiency is becoming increasingly important. This presents a problem for older and non OBD-II compliant petrol vehicles, as one prerequisite for efficient fuel consumption is the guidance of a car trip computer. By optimizing driving cycle the driver has the ability to save fuel by means of intelligent driving cycle. In this paper we present a cost effective solution in a form of external car trip computer for older and non OBD-II compliant vehicles. Furthermore, the proposed trip computer is compared with existing solution. The results of measurements show that by implementing car trip computer with instantaneous fuel consumption it is possible to create accurate fuel consumption measurement, resulting in reduction in overall fuel consumption. Additionally, by reducing fuel consum...
Evaluation of Eco-driving using Smart Mobile Devices
The methods of measuring driving behaviour and the quality of drive in road transport are important factors in data acquisition and subsequent analysis of driving. The prevalence of smart terminal devices and cost effectiveness of On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) sensor devices provide great potential and the availability of the aforementioned technologies. This study shows the possibility of using information and communication technologies (ICT) and sensor devices for measuring the effectiveness of eco-driving. The ease of implementation of ICT elements, the accuracy of collected data and their storage for later data analysis offer a number of possibilities to use. This study shows the technical solution of the system and analysis of collected data on actual driving samples. By comparing normal and eco-driving modes, the advantage of using eco-driving modes is demonstrated through reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions amounting to almost 23% and 31%, respectively.

Minimizing fuel consumption while maximizing driving performance (i.e., less travel time, increased safety and less gas emissions) is a key factor for the successful implementation of any transport system. In this regard, monitoring driving behaviour and converting this information into real-time advice to drivers can benefit seriously the performance of transport and mobility services. This paper presents the design and implementation of a prototype system and a BI (Business Intelligence) model for fuel consumption optimization for heavy-duty vehicles. The system consists of an OBDH prototype, various external sensors (including GNSS/INS and environmental ones), and an on-purpose built FMS (Fleet Management System) bus logger. The paper revisits the concept of BI and attempts knowledge transfer from the field of data analytics for business information to a pure engineering problem. Preliminary analyses using real truck trajectory data reveals and quantifies the effect of driving behaviour on fuel consumption while it indicates the potential of the system to transform into an integrated, self-trained driver coaching system.
Artemisa: An eco-driving assistant for Android Os
2011 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics -Berlin (ICCE-Berlin), 2011
This paper proposes an eco-driving assistant that facilitates the user to learn the techniques of efficient driving. The Artemisa´s assistant evaluates the driver´s driving style taking into account some environmental as well as some vehicles´s variables such as speed, gear, R.P.M, etc. Besides, tips are inferred to teach efficient driving habits. Compared to other similar systems, the Artemisa's assistant runs on a mobile device with Android O.S. and it does not need to install additional hardware.
D43.1: Eco Driving in the Real-world: Behavioural, Environmental and Safety Impacts
2016
This deliverable describes the results of analyses of the real world trials of the project eco-driving assistance systems. Several different systems with different characteristics and features were tested. Due to confidentiality constraints we could compare with a baseline two systems developed within the project: the Full ecoDriver System and the ecoDriver App. The other systems developed were combined for different comparisons. As a global picture of the ecoDriver results, the embedded systems (all the developed systems except the ecoDriver App and the TomTom system), provided more benefits than the ecoDriver App. The embedded systems performed better because of their integration into the vehicle and their ability to exploit vehicle data to create advice. On the other hand, the non-embedded systems such as the ecoDriver App relied on internal computation mainly based on GPS information, which makes them considerably cheaper. It is therefore not surprising to observe this difference. Adding a haptic pedal produces small
Connected Vehicle Accelerates Green Driving
SAE International Journal of Passenger Cars - Electronic and Electrical Systems, 2010
After the turn of the century, growing social attention has been paid to environmental concerns, especially the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and it comes down to a personal daily life concern which will affect the purchasing decision of vehicles in the future. Among all the sources of greenhouse gas emissions, the transportation industry is the primary target of reduction and almost every automotive company pours unprecedented amounts of money to reengineer the vehicle technologies for better fuel efficiency and reduced CO2 emission. Besides those efforts paid for sheer improvements of genuine vehicle technologies, NISSAN testified that "connectivity" with outside servers contributed a lot to reduce fuel consumption, thus the less emission of GHG, with two major factors; 1. detouring the traffic congestions with the support of probe-based real-time traffic information and 2. providing Eco-driving advices for the better driving behavior to prompt the better usage of energy. This article explains how the connected vehicle via network realized the reduction of fuel consumption and, thus, CO2 emission in real-life deployments in Japan and China. For the reference of drivers, we report the up-to-date status of EDA result on drivers' Web site as well as on Navigation
EcoSmart: An application for smartphones for monitoring driving economy

Instantaneous consumption models are designed to provide an accurate description of fuel consumption by relating the instantaneous rate of consumption with the vehicle acceleration, speed and the engine dynamics. In principle, instantaneous consumption models allow users to calculate the fuel consumption for any profile of vehicle operation. Some kind of models that take into account only driving dynamics can be used to describe the variability of consumption. The procedure used by this type of models is to establish reference matrices (related to specific time intervals) that for each combination of speed and acceleration determine the rate of fuel consumption. This paper Describes the design of a mobile application for the estimation of consumption, and user behavior, that applies models of instantaneous consumption. A preliminary experimental survey has been the carried out to obtain a large data base related to the acquisition of cinematic and engine parameters to allow the development of the mobile application. The experimental acquisition of parameters was accomplished in dynamic driving, connecting the OBDII port to different models of vehicles. With this procedure, reference matrices of fuel consumption for each specific class of emission (as required by ECE 15.03 -Directive 78/665/EEC and ECE 15.04 -Directive 83/351/EEC) have been obtained. The mobile phone application, after receiving as input the vehicle specifications provided by the user, can associate the specified matrix of consumption to the cinematic parameters (instant speed and acceleration obtained by GPS measures) and by using each pair of speed and acceleration can give an estimate of consumption values. At the end of the trip the user can take view of all device information on consumption also by geo-displaying the information on a map (showing the path and the related point by point consumptions). The output of the system, that can also provide information related to the dynamic behaviour and energy management in the user guide style, have been confronted with real consumption data. The advantage of the application is to estimate fuel consumption and driving style, from just GPS data, without connecting the phone to OBDII port.
