차량시뮬레이터를 이용한 에코드라이빙 시스템 개발

Eco-driving is an environmentally friendly driving manner which improves fuel economy. Since Eco-driving has an immediate and significant effect on improving vehicle’s fuel economy, introduction of Eco-Driving Information, that main functions are measuring vehicle speed and elapsed time on-Driving Simulator, making alerts when drivers deteriorate fuel economy, and recording driving patterns, is being promoted to support Eco-driving. However, fuel economy improvement rates by Eco-driving show uneven distribution because many factors such as the weather, road and traffic conditions, types of vehicles and drivers’ individualities have influence on fuel economy. In this research, correlations between fuel economy improvement and drivers' individualities were examined on Kookmin University Driving Simulator. Then, in order to estimate the effect of fuel economy by Eco-driving in real simulator conditions, test drives were experimented in normal driving conditions and Usual warnings, including Real-time fuel consumption conditions. As a result, correlations between types of driving patterns and fuel economy improvement were clarified.
