“…The results indicated that fuel consumption was reduced by 4.6% (0.51 per 100 km) due to the eco-driving education. Stillwater and Kurani [97] and Ruty et al [98] asserted that eco-driving had successfully reduced the energy consumption cost by 20% and led to average emission decrease of 1.7 kg of CO 2 per vehicle per day.…”

Climate change is receiving increasing attention in recent years. The transportation sector contributes substantially to increased fuel consumption, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and poor air quality, which imposes a serious respiratory health hazard. Road transport has made a significant contribution to this effect. Consequently, many countries have attempted to mitigate climate change using various strategies. This study analysed and compared the number of policies and other approaches necessary to achieve reduced fuel consumption and carbon emission. Frequency aggregation indicates that the mitigation policies associated with driving behaviours adopted to curtail this consumption and decrease hazardous emissions, as well as a safety enhancement. Furthermore, car-sharing/carpooling was the least investigated approach to establish its influence on mitigation of climate change. Additionally, the influence of such driving behaviours as acceleration/deceleration and the compliance to speed limits on each approach was discussed. Other driving behaviours, such as gear shifting, compliance to traffic laws, choice of route, and idling and braking style, were also discussed. Likewise, the influence of aggression, anxiety, and motivation on driving behaviour of motorists was highlighted. The research determined that driving behaviours can lead to new adaptive driving behaviours and, thus, cause a significant decrease of vehicle fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions.

“…A proven strategy is the correction and maturation of the F N (2012) found that EDSS that communicate with the driver instead of manipulating the vehicle encourage the driver to participate, expend more A -driving proficiency (Wada et al, 2011) or making it obvious where the driver is standing in relation to their goal (Stillwater and Kurani, 2013) can further improve fuel savings, acceptance of the technology and interest in ecodriving.…”

“…Kim and Kim, 2012, Nouvelière et al, 2012, van der Voort et al, 2001. A growing body of research focusses on the psychological processes behind eco-driving to further improve the human-machine interaction (Stillwater and Kurani, 2013). Because there is a need to rstanding of eco-driving and to identify their information requirements, mental model research is the chosen approach in this study.…”

Eco-driving has the potential to reduce fuel consumption and therefore emissions considerably. Previous research suggests that drivers have a certain level of eco-driving knowledge and skills, which they refrain from practising in their everyday lives. At the same time misconceptions and ambiguous messages from eco-driving support systems can confuse and demotivate. This research aimed to identify the mental models of eco-driving that regular drivers have. A driving simulator experiment with a varied road layout comprising urban and motorway sections was designed. Thefuel-B loud protocols and interviews were compared and analysed. The emphasis of this study was on eco-driving relevant indicators such as accelerating, braking, coasting and car-following. The results show that the participants do have mental models of eco-driving, which they did not use in the Baseline drive, when D M communication with the driver about the momentary efficient speed as well as resulting time losses and fuel savings. In addition, in-vehicle guidance can increase driving safety compared to practicing eco-driving without them.Keywords: Mental models, Driving simulator, Eco driving, Fuel economy; Driver behaviour 3 Highlights  Mental models of eco-driving were investigated in a driving simulator experiment  The approach combined behavioural data, think aloud protocols and interviews  Behaviour and focus changed when participants were asked to drive fuel-efficiently  Support systems need to communicate efficient behaviours and maintain safety

“…Several such systems have been presented and evaluated in the literature. The majority of eco-driving support systems display information on fuel consumption (Boriboonsomsin et al, 2010;Hiraoka et al, 2009;Jenness et al, 2009;Manser et al, 2010;Meschtscherjakov et al, 2009;Stillwater and Kurani, 2013), but there are also systems that are targeted at giving advice or feedback on driving behaviour, such as accelerations and decelerations van der Voort et al, 2001), speed (Trommer and Höltl, 2011), throttle pedal pressure (Azzi et al, 2011;Jenness et al, 2009;Larsson and Ericsson, 2009;Meschtscherjakov et al, 2009) and gear shifting (van der Voort et al, 2001). Another type of eco-driving system evaluates the overall driving performance and presents it to the driver for example as an ''eco-index'' (Jenness et al, 2009), a changing colour (Azzi et al, 2011;Jenness et al, 2009;Meschtscherjakov et al, 2009;van der Voort et al, 2001) or as a symbol (Jenness et al, 2009;Meschtscherjakov et al, 2009).…”
