A new driving system towards energy-efficient and safe driving behaviour

This paper introduces the idea of a driving system that will educate the driver in energy-efficient and safe driving, as there is potential in the individual driving behaviour to save energy and drive safely. Different energy-efficient or safety-relevant driving systems are analysed and improvement possibilities are presented. The new driving system will use serial-bus systems of the car and sensors that monitor the driver's condition for gathering information about the driving behaviour and the driver. On the basis of this information, the driving system will give recommendations that try to get the driver adapt his driving behaviour to a chosen target driving behaviour, such as energy-efficient, safe or a combination of them. Additionally, a driving profile will be generated that recognizes and warns the driver on significantly deviations from driver's normal driving behaviour.
