Sustainable behavior in motion: designing mobile eco-driving feedback information systems

Abstract

Emissions from road traffic contribute to climate change. One approach to reducing the carbon footprint is providing eco-driving feedback so that drivers adapt their driving style. Research about the impact of eco-feedback on energy consumption is the basis for designing a mobile eco-driving feedback information system that supports drivers in reducing fuel consumption. This work develops design knowledge from existing knowledge. Subsequently, we implement a prototypical instantiation based on the derived knowledge. Insights from a field study suggest that our design artifact allows most drivers to decrease fuel consumption by 4% on average. The paper’s theoretical contribution is a set of design principles and an architecture of the proposed mobile eco-driving feedback information system. One recommendation is to provide normative feedback that compares drivers with each other. This feedback appears to encourage drivers to decrease their fuel consumption additionally. The design knowledge may support researchers and practitioners in implementing efficient eco-driving feedback information systems.

Analysing scientific publications in the field of mobile information systems using bibliometric analysis

“…The wide adaptation of mobile information systems has completely redesigned the daily lives of ordinary people. Although mobile information systems are not new, there are abundant new applications in important and emerging fields, such as mobile molecular communication systems (Huang et al , 2021), mobile ecodriving feedback information systems (Gimpel et al , 2022), rural cultural service systems based on mobile information systems (Qu and Zhu, 2021), mobile robotic systems (Chung and Lin, 2022) and mobile ecosystems (Geebren et al , 2021). Most applications solve the problems of identification, diagnosis, prediction, reasoning, interpretation and summarisation (Khan et al , 2021).…”

Sistema de assistência ativa à condução econômica para veículos comerciais equipados com transmissão manual e motor diesel.

“…Em [10] e [11] é proposto um sistema móvel (aplicativo) de análise da condução do veículo pelo ponto de vista do consumo de combustível. Os sistemas desenvolvidos fornecem um feedback de pontuação aos condutores, que os motivam a dirigir com mais eficiência.…”

“…Esta pontuação também pode ser comparada com a pontuação dos outros usuários do sistema, o que cria uma espécie de competição entre eles, motivando-os a manter o seu novo estilo de condução e evitando o regresso aos seus hábitos antigos. As conclusões de um estudo de campo sugerem que o sistema projetado e proposto em [11] tem potencial para reduzir o consumo de combustível em 4%, em média.…”
