| Summary: | Eco driving courses are one of the methods to gain cost savings in transport companies. Road transport drivers equipped with appropriate knowledge of Eco- driving and defensive driving can reduce the costs of fuel consumption even by one third as compared to those involved in their previous driving style. This is the knowledge of a vehicle operation and ability to use driving techniques that leads to fuel consumption reduction. Based on the conducted tests, an analysis of behavior change of drivers who use Eco- driving in road transport systems has been performed. A comparison of the number of drivers’ reactions to road situations allows to determine percentage change in their behavior which leads to fuel-efficient and ecological driving. |
