Effect of Acceleration and Deceleration Information of Preceding Vehicle Group on Fuel Economy of Following Vehicle in Starting

This study looked at the effectiveness of acceleration/deceleration information regarding preceding and pre-preceding vehicles on the driving behavior and fuel economy of the following vehicle. As a result, it was suggested that information provision may improve the fuel economy of the following vehicle. It was also found that the subjects that increased fuel economy tended to value information on the acceleration/deceleration of the pre-preceding vehicle compared to those that decreased fuel economy did. From the above, it was indicated that the provision of information on the acceleration/deceleration of a preceding vehicle group to a following vehicle was effective.
