Ecosonic: towards an Auditory Display Supporting a Fuel-efficient Driving Style
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 feedback while driving,. We review existing literature and discuss various design strategies for auditory displays that are applicable for supporting a fuel-efficient driving style. Exploring one of these design strategies, we furthermore introduce several prototypical sonification designs.

EcoSonic: Auditory peripheral monitoring of fuel consumption for fuel-efficient driving
In this paper, we propose to make use of an auditory fuel efficiency display as means to support car drivers in adopting an energy-efficient driving style. We report on the development of the EcoSonic system as a platform for evaluating such displays and present five design approaches to guide their realization. In a study with 30 participants, we evaluated two prototype auditory displays again...
متن کاملA Virtual Driving System for Enhancing Efficient Driving Style
This paper proposes a virtual driving system for enhancing efficient driving style. We compared fuel economies and levels of consumable wear on three driving simulation test (none, visual, visual+auditory). The test results show that higher fuel economy can be achieved and consumable wear be reduced when they received feedback from the proposed system compared to driving without eco-driving tra...
متن کاملAuditory and Head-up Displays for Eco-driving Interfaces
Eco-driving describes a strategy for operating a vehicle in a fuel-efficient manner. Current research shows that visual ecodriving interfaces can reduce fuel consumption by shaping motorists’ driving behavior but may hinder safe driving performance. The present study aimed to generate insights and direction for design iterations of auditory eco-driving displays and a potential matching head-up ...

This report examines the possible safety benefits from driving in a manner that results in lower fuel consumption and emissions. It attempts to assess the potential of promoting additional motivations to drive safely – better fuel economy and other environmental outcomes, and reduced running costs. Reducing speeding, lower speed limits and modifying driving style were found to improve fuel econ...
متن کاملUser Needs in Green ITS: Results of a Questionnaire Survey and Proposal for Green ITS Design
An internet survey has been conducted among drivers in the Netherlands and Japan to study their attitude towards Green ITS. The survey focuses on driving behavior and ITS experience, attitude towards environment, and Green ITS preferences. The results show that money-related information gives the most effective motivation for drivers to follow fuel efficient behavior; the least preferred inform...
