Effects of Eco-Driving on Driving Performance

This paper investigates the effects of two driving behaviors on driving performance, the driving with eco-driving support and the general driving. Through observing and analyzing these driving behaviors in a variety of situations, driving performance under conditions of with and without eco-driving was evaluated. Based on the measurements on fuel consumption, speed control and gear use, it was found that eco-driving device can guide drivers to take proper driving behavior, such as in which way to drive and how to drive in order to achieve energy saving. The paper revealed the effects of eco-driving and how to drive efficiently.
