Abstract
Motivated by the observation that modifying driver behavior can significantly reduce fuel usage and CO2 emissions, this paper documents the development of a dedicated in-vehicle interface to support eco-driving. This visual interface has been tested in simulator conditions, demonstrating an 8.5% reduction in fuel use, and will soon be deployed on-road. Transitioning from simulator testing to on-road testing presents significant challenges to ensure driver safety and system effectiveness in the presence of changing road conditions and imperfect information about the current driving scenario.
