Comparing effects of eco-driving training and simple advices on driving behavior

Eco-driving style is widely known to induce up to 20% fuel consumption reduction, but little is known on the effects of different learning methods. In order to evaluate the potential impacts of future ecological driving assistance system (EDAS), two kinds of experiments are analyzed in this paper: In the first one, simple advices are given to the participants, while in the second one, full courses with eco-driving experts were used. Different kind of statistical models are discussed, among which we choose to apply the ordinary logistic regression to assess the effects of each driving advice separately.
