エコドライブ走行の教示内容および燃料消費量計の提示が燃料消費率低減効果に与える影響

As a countermeasure against global warming to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide from vehicles, "eco-driving" have attracted a great deal of attention. Fuel economy would be improved by the eco-driving, which includes the following driving behaviors; driving with a few changes in velocity, smooth acceleration at start, active use of engine brakes, and so on. However, the fuel consumption reduction effects of the eco-driving have still not been verified adequately. Furthermore, there are few studies which verify effects of instruction contents of the eco-driving and a fuel consumption meter on the driving behaviors. In the present paper, driving simulator experiments are performed to evaluate the fuel consumption reduction effects of the instruction of the eco-driving and the presentation of the fuel consumption meter.
