Resumen

Eco-driving is a way to drive that allow to use less fuel. To be eco-driver you need to follow a set of simple rules such as: upshifting to avoid engine speeds over 2500 rpm, keep steady vehicle speed, anticipating traffic, accelerating and decelerating smoothly, and avoiding long idles. The promotion of an energy-efficient driving style is a measure that can have an important impact on fuel consumption. The eco-driving behaviour varies the attitude in setting speed and distance to the preceding vehicles. Speed and distance are parameters that influence, at the macroscopic level, the speed and density of traffic. To assess measure's impact at road network level we need to simulate, first the microscopic level movement of vehicles and then scale up in a suitable way the result to the macroscopic level. A suitable software platform has been developed using and enhancing the models adopted in the existing commercial tools in order to simulate traffic with drivers having different behaviour such as eco driver. The results shows that different behaviour, which imply different law for interaction between vehicle, can have different impact on emission when not a single vehicle is considered but the traffic on a real road network. Results show that Eco drive has more impact in free and normal traffic condition, but could be not useful when traffic condition is congested.
