Field Implementation of Eco-driving and Eco-signal System

This paper proposed an integrated system between an eco-driving algorithm and an eco-signal control based on vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, and evaluated the system’s environmental benefits. The system calculates eco-speeds using vehicle information (e.g., current locations, vehicle speeds, and acceleration profiles) and signal information. In addition, the system controls current s...

Advancing Eco-driving Strategies for Drivers and Automated Vehicles Traveling within Intersection Vicinities

Does automatic transmission improve driving behavior in older drivers?

BACKGROUND Most older drivers continue to drive as they age. To maintain safe and independent transport, mobility is important for all individuals, but especially for older drivers. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate whether automatic transmission, compared with manual transmission, may improve the driving behavior of older drivers. METHOD In total, 31 older drivers (m...
