Requirements of driver assistance systems and C2X applications aiming to reduce CO2 emissions - results of a trans-European study within the EU project eCoMove

The reduction of traffic induced emissions is a major challenge considering the raising demand for mobility. A high potential for reducing fuel consumption and thus traffic emissions is seen in an improved driving behavior. The European research project eCoMove aims to support vehicle drivers in driving more efficiently using driver assistance systems. In the cooperative traffic system of eCoMove vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication is used to organize traffic in a more efficient way. A user acceptance study was carried out in which European drivers were asked to rate three driver assistance systems aiming to improve the fuel efficiency according to certain criteria. The results will be discussed in this paper.
