This online training
module focuses on the project topical area Green Driver Assistance Systems
(GDAS). Green driving, or eco-driving, describes the energy efficient driving of
vehicles by adopting a smoother driving style which avoids excessive harsh
maneuvers or aggressive driving behaviors. The main objective of GDAS is to
help drivers to achieve more efficient driving, mainly by informing them about
their driving style while driving, and afterwards allowing them to see where
they can improve. The training module provides insights into the
outcomes of the EBSF_2 demonstrations in Barcelona, Lyon, Madrid, San
Sebastian, where tests and evaluations of different eco-driving assistance
systems have been carried out. The information from these four demonstrations are compiled into the
training module to provide a clear overview over the current possibilities of
implementing GDAS. The training material is intended to inform decision-makers,
technicians and driving instructors of public transport operators, who plan to
introduce IT-supported green driving training programmes.
