Descripción
The transportation sector is one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases. Eco-driving has been shown to be a very efficient driving technique to reduce consumption and CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Specifically, this paper investigates, based on the psychological characteristics and perception of the driver, the variation in different fundamental parameters of driving when driving conventionally with respect to an eco-driving. This research has been carried out on four types of routes and different levels of service in a small city with no congestion problems, such as the city of Caceres. Drivers are men and women in an age range of 21 and 44, driving diesel and gasoline cars, a first week with normal driving and the second after having received an efficient driving training course. This research concludes that eco-driving reduces the fundamental parameters of driving in a conventional style in all types of drivers, with a greater reduction in those with less experience in years of driving. Therefore it would be advisable to establish eco-driving policies in the driving schools since implementing these measures in novice drivers is easier and more efficient than in experienced drivers.
