Towards Egocentric Fuel Efficiency Feedback
نویسندگان
چکیده
Motivated by anecdotal evidence, we hypothesize that an egocentric approach is more appropriate and relevant to providing fuel efficiency feedback than a systemic approach. In this paper we describe a proposed study to test this hypothesis, and present the design of a fuel efficiency feedback system for public transit bus drivers.

Prototype Auditory Displays for a Fuel Efficiency Driver Interface
We describe work-in-progress prototypes of auditory displays for fuel efficiency driver interfaces (FEDIs). Although research has established that feedback from FEDIs can have a positive impact on driver behaviors associated with fuel economy, the impact of FEDIs on driver distraction has not been established. Visual displays may be problematic for providing this feedback; it is precisely durin...
متن کاملEcosonic: towards an Auditory Display Supporting a Fuel-efficient Driving Style
In order to support drivers in adopting a more fuel efficient driving style, there currently exists a range of fuel economy displays, providing drivers feedback on instantaneous and longterm fuel consumption. While these displays rely almost completely on visual components for conveying relevant information, we argue that there are significant benefits in using auditory interfaces for providing...
متن کاملShort and Long-Term Cost Efficiency Analysis of Fossil Fuel versus Alternative Energy Vehicles
Electric and hybrid-electric vehicles have long been seen as the answer to the economic and environmental problems created by traditional fossil fuel vehicles. In addition to the ability to reduce carbon emissions and reduce negative environmental externalities, they have the potential to end the current dependence on limited fossil fuel reserves and thus enhance energy security. However, the f...
متن کاملEstimation and feedback control of air-fuel ratio for gasoline engines
In 4-stroke internal combustion engines, air-fuel ratio control is a challenging task due to the rapid changes of engine throttle, especially during transient operation. To improve the transient performance, managing the cycle-to-cycle transient behavior of the mass of the air, the fuel and the burnt gas is a key issue due to the imbalance of cyclic combustion process. This paper address the mo...
متن کاملDetecting Hands in Egocentric Videos: Towards Action Recognition
Recently, there has been a growing interest in analyzing human daily activities from data collected by wearable cameras. Since the hands are involved in a vast set of daily tasks, detecting hands in egocentric images is an important step towards the recognition of a variety of egocentric actions. However, besides extreme illumination changes in egocentric images, hand detection is not a trivial...
