摘要: Energy feedback in the vehicle dashboard is one method to engage drivers in energy saving driving styles. In contrast to the occasional broadcasting of general driving tips, in-vehicle energy feedback gives drivers access to accurate real-time information about their specific driving situation on an ongoing basis. The increasing prevalence of such feedback in new vehicles suggests a belief that such feedback is effective. However, there is little reliable evidence of the effectiveness of energy feedback in real-word driving in passenger vehicles. This study begins to fill this gap. This report presents the results of a large sample eco-driving feedback study that includes 118 drivers (140 driver-vehicle combinations); the drivers resided in selected cities along the Interstate-80 corridor from San Francisco, CA to Reno and Sparks, NV. Participants were given a commercially available fuel consumption recording and display device to use in their personal vehicle for two months. The first month the display was left blank to record a baseline of driving and fuel consumption: the second month the display was switched on. The devices displayed one of three screen designs spanning a variety of feedback modes; household drivers were randomly assigned a screen.
