Interface design considerations for an in-vehicle eco-driving assistance system
A driving simulator assessment of an in-vehicle eco-driving assistance system. Visual, visual-auditory or haptic real-time guidance on efficient accelerator pedal use given. Haptic force feedback via the accelerator pedal is the most effective haptic eco-driving interface. Visual second-order displays with audio were more effective than a simple fuel efficiency display. Results can be used to maximise fuel economy gains and driver acceptance when using these systems.
