Abstract
While global warming is concerned, eco-driving is proposed for reduction of vehicle CO_2 discharges. Eco-driving is a driving mode through driver behaviors mainly about accelerator work such as smoothing acceleration at start, preservation of the steady speed and active use of engine brake. However, few studies clarified muscle fatigue of driver to analyze driver behaviors during eco-driving. In this study, in virtue of a universal driving simulator (DS), driving experiments by subjects were conducted in the modes of normal driving, eco-driving, and eco-driving with eco-indicator. In the experiments, surface electromyography (sEMG) of leg muscles of driver was measured to clarify muscle fatigues in different driving modes, and further driver behaviors were also analyzed. Through comparing analysis results, it is validated that eco-driving with eco-indicator is effective as an eco-assistant-system.
