Abstract

Road transport still depends almost entirely on liquid fuels derived from natural oil. Combustion of these carbon-based fuels naturally results in the emission of carbon monoxide and dioxide, which play an important role in global warming. Improving fuel-efficiency through a change in driver behaviour can effectively reduce fuel consumption and corresponding emissions. Since fuel consumption is most substantial in urban areas, the largest gain is likely to be obtained here. A new-generation fuel-efficiency support tool has been designed that aims at reducing fuel consumption by inducing a change in driver behaviour. The support tool includes a normative model that formulates optimal driver behaviour in this respect based on the context the vehicl
