Towards Egocentric Fuel Efficiency Feedback

Motivated by anecdotal evidence, we hypothesize that an egocentric approach is more appropriate and relevant to providing fuel eciency feedback than a systemic approach. In this paper we describe a proposed study to test this hypothesis, and present the design of a fuel efficiency feedback system for public transit bus drivers. Author Keywords
