What is Eco-Driving?

Eco-Driving is driving a vehicle in such a way as to reduce fuel consumption, greenhouse gas
emissions and accident rates. In addition to external circumstances, such as weather, roadconditions and traffic jam, driving behaviour can considerably influence the vehicle’s fuelconsumption.
A feature in the AVL firmware called "ECO-DRIVE-GPS" can compute the vehicle fuel usage
characteristics and help evaluate a trip and driving style to increase your vehicle efficiency, reduce
fuel consumption and cost. This feature uses the incoming GPS data together with user pre-set
parameters to measure the current speeds, harsh brakes, harsh accelerations and to compute fuelconsumption and other trip information. The FOX3-2G/3G/4G and BOLERO40 series can transfer
the detailed driving information to a server giving you the possibility to view this data on-screen
and generate printed reports according to fleet manager-defined parameters.
Lantronix FOX3-2G/3G/4G and BOLERO40 series with activated ECO-DRIVE-GPS will allow fleet
managers to:• Monitor vehicle over-speeds in different road topologies. Excessive speed is not only
dangerous, but it also results in excessive fuel consumption.
• Monitor how, when and where a vehicle has been driven.
• Alerts reports with detailed driving information if pre-set parameters are exceeded.
• Monitor engine idle times and find ways to reduce it.
• Monitor harsh accelerations and harsh braking.
• Monitor fuel consumption and find ways to reduce it.
• Transfer the trip data and provide an analysis as feedback to the driver.
• Reduce approximately 15% (or more) fuel costs and carbon dioxide.
• Reduce stress for drivers, passengers and fellow road users.
• Reduce risk of accident for drivers and other road users.
• Improve driving behaviour and reduce the risk when detecting aggressive driving style.

How does ECO-DRIVE-GPS work?

ECO-DRIVE-GPS is a satellite-based GPS feature with a sophisticated algorithm that analyses andverifies incoming GPS data during driving to calculate in details the driving information such as tip
distance, tip time, engine idle times, number of harsh brakes, accelerations, over speeds and thefuel consumption of the vehicle for a trip. It is a very easy to use feature that helps fleet managers
to connect to the fleet and monitor driver's behaviours and fuel consumption and find ways toimprove them.

Figure 1: Collect and analyse detailed driving information using features of ECO-DRIVE-GPS

To use features of the ECO-DRIVE-GPS a valid configuration must be stored into the AVL unit. Whena trip is stopped, the trip data with the detailed driving information can be transmitted to a serverusing the Ecodrive.eStop event.
A full description about the ECO-DRIVE-GPS device configuration, events and dynamic entries canbe found in the sub-sections below.

Eco-Drive-GPS Premium-Features in AVL Firmware 2.11.0 and Above6

1.2.1 How to configure ECO-DRIVE-GPS
Configuration settings are used to define the route topologies and speed limits for switching
between different topologies as well as limits for harsh accelerating and braking and generating thecorresponding events. ECO-DRIVE-GPS offers 2 different configuration models either to keep trackof fuel consumption (l/100) or fuel emission (g/km) of the vehicle. The software computes the fuelconsumption or the fuel emission (g/km) of your vehicle in detail and provides you with a complete
overview of all costs involved in maintaining the vehicle.
The configuration settings below are used to define the car parameters based on the data provided
on the Vehicle Registration Certificate.

Figure 2: Vehicle Registration Certificatea) Use this parameter syntax when monitoring fuel consumption (in Liter)
SyntaxECODRIVE.CAR=<"Name">,<Weight>,<Engine>,<Max_speed>,<Power>,<Loss>,<Speed>,<Fuel>

Examples$PFAL,Cnf.Set,ECODRIVE.CAR="Car01",2185,D,177,66,3.3,100,8 // for fuel consumptionb) Use this parameter syntax when monitoring fuel emission (CO2)

Examples$PFAL,Cnf.Set,ECODRIVE.CAR="Car01",5185,D,177,66,3.3,157// for fuel emission

These configuration parameters are used to define the vehicle parameters provided on the
Vehicle Registration Certificate (see above).
<"Name">It specifies, enclosed in parentheses, the name of vehicle (e.g. "Car01").
<"Weight">
It specifies, in kg, the weight of vehicle plus (+) the weight of any optional
accessories, cargo and passengers. Refer to the vehicle registration
certificate for the weight of the vehicle alone (e.g. "2185+3000 (cargo)=5185")<"Engine">
It specifies the vehicle fuel type. Refer to the vehicle registration
certificate (e.g. "Diesel").
<"Max_speed"> It specifies the maximum allowed speed in km/h. Refer to the vehicle
registration certificate (e.g. "177").

<"Power"><"Loss"><"Speed"><"Fuel"><"CO2">

It specifies the nominal power expressed in kW. Refer to the vehicle
registration certificate (e.g. "66").
It is an internal correction factor fixed for the calculations, at the moment
it should be set to 3.3 which fits to most vehicles/cars.
It specifies a constant speed in Km/h for a known fuel consumption.
It specifies the known fuel consumption, in 1/100L, at a constant speed<"Speed">.
It specifies the fuel emission (CO2) in g/km. If you are going to control
the fuel emission, the <speed> setting is not required.

Define settings for controlling speed limits for City, Country and Highway topologies
SyntaxECODRIVE.TOPOLOGY=<City_Speed>,<TimeOut>,<Country_Speed>,<Highway_Speed>,<TimeOut>

Examples$PFAL,Cnf.Set,ECODRIVE.TOPOLOGY=60,10,100,160,20

These limits are used to define different road topologies and timeouts for switching between
topologies.
<City_Speed> It specifies the speed limit (e.g. 60) in km/h for driving on city roads. If
the vehicle is travelling over this speed limit, the FOX3-2G/3G/4G or
BOLERO40 series sets the state “Ecodrive.sOverSpeed1” to true until the
Highway speed limit is reached.
<TimeOut>It specifies the minimum timeout, in seconds, for changing the topology
from City to Country (e.g. 10). If the vehicle is travelling over the specified<City_Speed> speed limit and the timeout expires then the FOX32G/3G/4G or BOLERO40 series switches the City topology to Country
one.
<Country_Speed>
It specifies the speed limit (e.g. 100) in km/h for driving on country
roads. If the vehicle is travelling over this speed limit, the FOX3-2G/3G/4G
or BOLERO40 series sets the state “Ecodrive.sOverSpeed2” to true until
the Highway speed limit is reached.
<Highway_Speed> It specifies the speed limit (e.g. 160) in km/h for driving on highway
roads. If the vehicle is travelling over this speed limit, the FOX3-2G/3G/4G
or BOLERO40 series sets the state “Ecodrive.sOverSpeed3” to true untilthe vehicle drives back to this specified speed limit.
<TimeOut>It specifies the minimum timeout in seconds for changing the topology fromCountry to Highway (e.g. 20). If the vehicle is travelling over to the specified<Country_Speed> speed limit and the timeout expires then the FOX32G/3G/4G or BOLERO40 series switches the Country topology to Highwayone.

Define settings for monitoring brake deceleration and acceleration limits
SyntaxECODRIVE.LIMITS=<Max_Brake>,<Max_ACC_City>,<Max_ACC_Country>[,<angle_slow>,<angle_high>]

Examples$PFAL,Cnf.Set,ECODRIVE.LIMITS=2,2,1,11,20

These limits are used to control brake deceleration and acceleration in city and country
topologies and generate corresponding events. The corresponding events can then be used
to transfer specific trip data to a server.
<Max_Brake>
It specifies the braking deceleration limit in m/s2 (e.g. 2) to occur
the harsh brake event and report on this type of driver's activity.
<Max_ACC_City>
It specifies the acceleration limit in m/s2 for city topology (e.g.
2) to occur the harsh acceleration event and report on this typeof driver's activity.
<Max_ACC_Country> It specifies the acceleration limit in m/s2 for country topology(e.g. 1) to occur the harsh acceleration event and report on thistype of driver's activity.
[<angle_slow>,<angle_high>]
Optional settings. The events EcoDrive.eHarshTurn
will be generated between 30 km/h and the max. Speed
Country. These events are generated when the vehicle makes achange of direction in one second that is greater than a userdefined angle. The angle <angle_slow> is used for the min.
speed and <angle_high> for the max. speed in the Country
Speed. The limit value that is used now is the interpolation of
the two angles <angle_slow> and <angle_high> and speeds andthe current speed.

Define settings for starting and stopping an ECO-DRIVE-GPS trip automaticallySyntaxECODRIVE.AUTOSTART=<Type>,<Speed>,<Timeout>

Examples$PFAL,Cnf.Set,ECODRIVE.AUTOSTART=GPS,10,120$PFAL,Cnf.Set,ECODRIVE.AUTOSTART=IGN

These settings are used to define the trigger conditions and limits for an automatic start andstop of the ECO-DRIVE-GPS trips. If trips are configured to start and stop automatically via
configuration, the commands $PFAL,EcoDrive.TripStart and $PFAL,EcoDrive.TripStop are notrequired to be executed any more, otherwise executing of both commands will return ERROR.
<Type> It specifies when a trip should be started. Following are the values that can be
specified:
Value
Meaning
IGN
The trip starts and stops when turning ON and OFF thevehicle ignition correspondingly. Trips start when turning on
the vehicle ignition and stop when turning off the vehicle
ignition. This setting does not require <Speed> and<Timeout> settings. Trip start and stop conditions are basedon the Ignition key state.
GPS
The trip starts when driving faster then the defined <speed>
and after the specified <Timeout> expires. Stops the trip
when driving slower then the defined <speed> and after the
specified <Timeout> expires.
<Speed>It specifies this setting only when using "GPS" as start type. It defines the

<Timeout>

minimum speed in km/h for starting and stopping an ECO-DRIVE-GPS trip with
Autostart type <GPS>.
It specifies this setting only when using "GPS" as start type. It defines theminimum timeout in seconds for starting and stopping an ECO-DRIVE-GPS trip
with Autostart type <GPS>.

1.2.2 How to use ECO-DRIVE-GPS supported Events and States
Events and states are used to define when to transfer the trip data to a server. Events are generated at
run-time, for example when starting or stopping an ECO-DRIVE-GPS trip, detecting a hard
acceleration or a harsh braking during driving. You may use these event to report specific ECO-DRIVEGPS trip data to a server.
For example:$PFAL,Cnf.Set,AL0=Ecodrive.eStop:TCP.Client.Send,0,"EcoDrive Stop: &(EcoTripResult)"// Whenever a ECO-DRIVE-GPS trip is stopped, the FOX3-2G/3G/4G or BOLERO40 series reports the
ECO-DRIVE-GPS trip data via TCP.

The statistic information reported by FOX3-2G/3G/4G and BOLERO40 series can be graphically
represented on your web-server for providing a general overview of the drivers to see who is driving
economically and who is not. The company is then able to find out what can be improved. In thisway you not only improve your company’s profitability, but also document in a simple and accurate
way to provide your company with an Eco-driving education.
The data in the graph below is just used as reference to obtain an estimation model.
Hint: The accuracy of the result depends on GPS validity and the entered settings. The moredistance you drive, the more accurate would be the ECO-DRIVE-GPS result.

Based on the transferred reports to the server, the fleet managers may design three simple symbols
to describe the driver’s driving behaviour, for example:
GREEN DRIVER
Who consumes less fuel.
ORANGE DRIVERS
Who can still improve fuel consumption.
RED DRIVER
Who does not drive economically.

☺



The aim of this design is to teach the drivers to change their driving behaviours. This can be achieved,for example, through real-time information via a display and bounties. To use this feature andmotivate your drivers, the fleet managers can introduce a "Fuel-Efficient-Driving-Bounty-System"
into their companies to motivate the drivers and let them know who is driving economically andwho is not. This kind of system may provide your company with an Eco-Driving education andimprove your company’s profitability.
