ABSTRACT
This work, which was performed as a part of the EC funded project eCoMove, describes the investigation of an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) which helps to improve fuel consumption of automobiles by using a combination of anticipation and navigation assistance.
The anticipatory assistance system is based on the work of Popiv (2012). The aim of the system is to pursue the driver to extensively exploit the motor torque during deceleration phases instead of conventionally applying pressure on the brakes (Popiv, 2012). To this existing system two different types of navigation advices are included. This raises the complexity of the ADAS which can lead to new problems. The goal is to reduce fuel consumption in addition with high user acceptance by also using navigation instructions. To test the new system a driving simulator study was performed.
