Development and field trial of a driver assistance system to encourage eco-driving in light commercial vehicle fleets
This paper was the result of collaboration with Ashwoods Automotive, funded by Ashwoods and the University of Bath EPSRC Knowledge Transfer Account. The findings have been incorporated into a commercial product, the most successful retro-fit system of its type. The product has already been adopted by six major fleet operators, with 1500 installations of the system saving around £340k/year in fuel costs and has resulted in 3 jobs being created within Ashwoods. The paper was a contributory factor to the successful award of two TSB projects to further develop the technologies (TP 11177 72141 and TP 18770 135148).
