Perceived usefulness of eco-driving assistance systems in Europe

Assessment of the perceived usefulness of eco-driving assistance systems is of high interest for system developers and researchers during the development stage of these systems. This applies in particular to systems that try to influence the driver’s behaviour in everyday situations and those generating their greatest benefit when regularly used. This study presents results of a survey conducted in 11 European countries with more than 5000 respondents aimed at collecting needs and requirements for future eco-driving assistance systems. Such systems have the potential of changing driving behaviour in the long run in order to support more fuel-efficient driving and for reducing emissions caused by motorised traffic. Three different driver assistance systems are considered covering inefficiencies in pre-trip, on-trip and post-trip situations. Each system is assessed according to the factors of perceived usefulness, expected environmental impact, and the user’s willingness to pay for it. The study shows that in general car drivers welcome the deployment of eco-driving assistance systems and rate them as useful. Likewise, it demonstrates that the acceptance of additional costs for the user is very low.
