Supporting the driver in conserving energy and reducing emissions (ecoDriver)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

ecoDriver addresses the need to consider the human element when encouraging "green" driving, since driver behaviour is a critical element in energy efficiency. The focus of the project is on technology working with the driver. The project aims to deliver the most effective feedback to drivers on green driving by optimising the driver-powertrain-environment feedback loop. It will carry out a substa ...

Cooperative Mobility Systems and Services for Energy Efficiency (eCoMove)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

The eCoMove project will create an integrated solution for road transport energy efficiency by developing systems and tools to help drivers sustainably eliminate unnecessary fuel consumption (and thus CO2 emissions), and to help road operators manage traffic in the most energy-efficient way. By applying this combination of cooperative systems using vehicle-infrastructure communication, the project ...

euroFOT (European Field Operational Test on Active Safety Functions in vehicles) (euroFOT)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2012,

The Intelligent Car Initiative has identified road safety, energy efficiency, and traffic congestion as the main challenges currently being faced by European transportation. Despite their severity, these issues may be improved with the use of new in-vehicle technologies currently not available in the market. However, implementing new technologies implies a risk to manufacturers. Factors such as di ...
