Driving and Fuel Consumption Monitoring with Internet of Things

Driving the Internet of Things

h THE INTERNET OF THINGS is the technical evolution of the proliferation of embedded processing and the ubiquitous connectivity of networking infrastructure. It wasn’t the result of a big grand strategy. It’s just begun to happen, and it is gaining momentum at a rapid pace. In fact in 2010, the number of devices connected to the Internet already exceeded the number of humans, and it is predicte...

EcoSonic: Auditory peripheral monitoring of fuel consumption for fuel-efficient driving

In this paper, we propose to make use of an auditory fuel efficiency display as means to support car drivers in adopting an energy-efficient driving style. We report on the development of the EcoSonic system as a platform for evaluating such displays and present five design approaches to guide their realization. In a study with 30 participants, we evaluated two prototype auditory displays again...
