Abstract
According to the current issue of resource shortage, the reduction of fuel consumption or using alternative energies which has an environmentally friendly effect is the priority of governments in many countries. Besides, many studies mentioned that driver behaviors play an essential role to reduce fuel use and decrease vehicle exhaust emissions. On the other hand, the carGPS tracking data in itinerary monitoring equipment is typically using in navigation, positioning, and vehicle management. Thus, this study aims to analyze the correlation between driver behaviors and fuel consumption based on the velocity, acceleration, fuel sensors data collected from car-GPS trackers device in association with Geographic Information System (GIS) to find out the solution to evaluate the effectiveness of ecodriving courses as well as assess the usability of using car-GPS tracking data from the GPS tracking device to analyze and adjust driver behavior in urban areas to save energy and protect the urban environment
Highlights
A few studies show that the driver's behavioral classification can be researched by two solutions, qualitative analysis, and quantitative analysis
The comprehensive process of analyzing driver behavior and fuel consumption should be provided by researchers or scientists to support urban citizens, city governments according to the valuable data of GPS-tracking device to reduce the fuel use as well as decrease the harmful impact of vehicle exhaust emission to the urban environment
In this study, we suggest that the vehicle speed, variable acceleration, and position based on car GPS-trackers, together with fuel consumption according to the fuel sensors, and the Geographic Information System (GIS) data of the road network should be used to analyze the driver behaviors and fuel consumption simultaneously
Summary
A few studies show that the driver's behavioral classification can be researched by two solutions, qualitative analysis, and quantitative analysis. While qualitative analysis by questionnaires with the participants of experts, scientists, and vehicle drivers still has certain limitations, the quantitative solution as analyzing the Jerk's profiles of driver behaviors based on speeding up or down of drivers is an efficient research method in many studies [1,2,3,4,5]. There are few studies that utilized the data of car-GPS tracking devices to analyzed driver behaviors [6] and fuel consumption simultaneously [7, 8]. The comprehensive process of analyzing driver behavior and fuel consumption should be provided by researchers or scientists to support urban citizens, city governments according to the valuable data of GPS-tracking device to reduce the fuel use as well as decrease the harmful impact of vehicle exhaust emission to the urban environment
