Abstract

In this work, an eco-driving rating based on the relation between fuel consumption and average trip speed commonly used in traffic engineering is presented. A car following experiment with a driving simulator was used to make an eco-rating chart. The leading car was used to control average speed of each experiment. To calculate the rating, the resulting driving data was divided into trips. For each trip, low level of fuel consumption was given high score while high level was given low score. Rating was given as average of the trip scores. Actual driving data was then used for the leading car for evaluation of the rating. One of the desirable properties of the rating proposed by this work is consistency regardless of traffic conditions. As suggested by the rating chart, it was found that the proposed eco-rating is consistent in terms of ranking drivers around when average trip speed is around 50-70 km/h.
