Abstract
Effects of Eco-Driving Training: A Pilot Program in Belgrade Public Transport
Highlights
Road transport has a negative impact on fuel economy and ecology
This paper shows an eco-driving pilot program that has been implemented in the public transport company “JGSP Belgrade”, Serbia, in order to assess the possibilities of using eco-driving for an entire car fleet of the assessed company in the future
The results showed that eco-driving techniques contributed to reducing parameters FCM, TFC and AFC considerably and values of these parameters before training were significantly greater than those after training, p = 0,000, p = 0,001 and p = 0,001, respectively
Summary
Road transport has a negative impact on fuel economy and ecology. In order to identify the factors that influence fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, researchers around the world have developed methods for fuel consumption estimation [1, 2] and CO2 emissions estimation in road transport [3]. Many researchers believe that driver behaviour has a great influence on fuel-use and CO2 emissions [5,6,7]. Eco-driving program seems like a promising strategy that can positively change the driver’s behaviour and improve driving fuel efficiency. In several European countries, eco-driving is applied as a manner to promote economic driver behaviour. Ecodriving has attracted attention among automakers, policy makers, and researchers because its implementation is not expensive and can be cost-effective
