Issue Date: | 2009 | Publisher: | PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD | Source: | TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH PART D-TRANSPORT AND ENVIRONMENT, 14(7). p. 514-520 | Abstract: | In this paper the long-term impact of an eco-driving training course is evaluated by monitoring driving behavior and fuel consumption for several months before and after the course. Cars were equipped with an on-board logging device that records the position and speed of the vehicle using GPS tracking as well as real time as electronic engine data extracted from the controller area network. The data includes mileage, number of revolutions per minute, position of the accelerator pedal, and instantaneous fuel consumption. It was gathered over a period of 10 months for 10 drivers during real-life conditions thus enabling an individual drive style analysis. The average fuel consumption four months after the course fell by 5.8%. Most drivers showed an immediate improvement in fuel consumption that was stable over time, but some tended to fall back into their original driving habits. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
