Abstract
Eco-driving has been shown to have a lot of positive impacts on the environment, for instance, it reduces CO2 pollution, and it increases safety. This study examined the effect of information processing automation feedback and driving experience on eco-driving. Their effects were examined both separate from each other, and as an interaction effect on ecodriving. Previous research has shown that eco-driving behaviour increases when feedback is given, therefore it was expected that information processing automation feedback would lead to more eco-driving and less fuel consumption. Research on the effect of driving experience on eco-driving has shown that experienced drivers are better at eco-driving, so the same effect is expected in this study. Previous research has also shown that driving experience leads to safer driving when it is combined with feedback, so it was hypothesized that more driving experience would have a positive effect on the feedback. To examine this, a driving simulator study was carried out, where participants had to drive the same route in five different conditions with information processing automation feedback. They were divided in two groups, experienced drivers and novice drivers. The study found no significant results, meaning that there was no effect found for feedback or driving experience on eco-driving behaviour and no effect for experience on the effect of feedback on eco-driving.
