Eco Routing for European Market

Transportation activities largely contribute to CO2 emissions. In particular, car and truck fuel consumption must be reduced. Recent developments in intelligent transport system technologies allow fuel savings by guiding the driver through routes avoiding road traffic, while taking into account elevation and the car-specific fuel consumption profile. It is known that the ecological route (eco-route) calculated by using travel time information, geographical features, and the vehicle characteristics, etc. are effective for the reduction of fuel consumption. In this paper, the authors briefly review the context of “eco” features in the European market. They then propose an analysis method using geographical features for the needs of eco-route investigation. In addition, the authors apply the analysis method to Europe (France), and describe the eco-route potential in Europe.
