| Summary | Reducing energy consumption and the greenhouse effect is an important issue for our country. Educating drivers to learn correct driving behavior is a feasible way to achieve this objective. Eco-driving has been proved to save up to 7% of energy consumption in Europe. The research is to observe driving behavior of professional dual-axle passenger drivers through an electric recorder installed on the bus. This research used the VigilVanguard detection system that comes from Australia to combine the OBDII on-board diagnostic device to experiment the 100 different bus drivers. In the experiment, researcher collected the data of driving process, including driving image, speed, acceleration and instantaneous fuel consumption and so on. According to the driving data, we analyzed the fuel consumption and unsafe driving behaviors, and developed a training system for professional drivers of large vehicles. It is suggested that the government can refer to the regular feedback training system to add the course content related to energy-saving and safe driving courses. It is also suggested that the course content can refer to the SBS in Singapore plus the real vehicle training. After the real vehicle training, the professional training coach will analyze the driving process and assist to improve the driver’s bad driving behavior. In addition to the large vehicle testing, we also suggested that the future research can test the Intercity transportation and private vehicles. |
