Early Results from an Online Questionnaire Exploring Future Interfaces Design to Support Fuel-Efficient Driving
Eco-driving is a driving style that seeks to reduce overall fuel use and, as a consequence, subsequent greenhouse gas emissions (Barkenbus, 2010). Eco-driving has both a financial benefit to the driver, who has lower fuel expenditure and a positive environmental impact due to the reduced pollutants. Without feedback regarding eco-driving behaviours however, individuals quickly return …

Human Factors – Exploring Eco-Driving to Reduce Fuel Use
Transport is the second highest source of greenhouse gases in the EU, and reducing this level of emissions is a key objective of the G-Active project. Whilst the quickest way to reduce transport related emissions is to not take car journeys, we can also significantly reduce emissions by altering driving style. By adopting eco-driving behaviours …
