D17.2. Code of Practice for Efficient Eco-driving Support. Deliverable to the EBSF2 project
- 2018
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Based on an extensive literature survey and an analysis of the results from demonstrations of different Green Driving Assistance Systems in Barcelona, Lyon, Madrid, and San Sebastian, the deliverable formulates a Code of Practice for the design of Eco-Driving Assistance Systems. Code of practice here refers to the underlying basis of such systems, namely which information is to be taken into account, the principles for comparison and assessing driver’s performance, when information is presented (on-ride, during breaks, post-ride) and if the system should be complemented by eco-driving training or not.

D17.3. Eco-Driving Assistance. Guidelines for Ergonomic Design of Eco-Driving Assistance HMIs
- 2018
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Based on an extensive literature survey and an analysis of the results from EBSF_2 demonstrations of different Green Driving Assistance Systems in Barcelona, Lyon, Madrid, and San Sebastian, this deliverable proposes guidelines for the design of an eco-driving assistance system HMI. In addition to general HMI guidelines, to be applied to the design of all in-vehicle HMIs, the deliverable suggests design guidelines in relation to pre-drive, on-drive, ride-break, and post-ride HMIs, i.e. information presented in the HMI of a driver assistance system at different timeframes. The guidelines concern information content as well as the choice of information modality.

Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- MeBeSafe is trying to make traffic safer by nudging and coaching. Nudging is a way of predictably altering people's behaviour on a subconscious level; without forbidding anything. A classic example of a nudge is to put the vegetarian option on top of a menu, which will make people much more likely to choose that one. MeBeSafe is using nudging to change people's behaviour on the roads, both for car drivers, cyclists and truckers. This newsletter describes the various efforts made by MeBeSafe and the latest breakthroughs in nudging. It also includes a summary of what nudging actually is.

D13.4 , EBSF 2 - Gothenburg: Demonstration Results
- 2018
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Gothenburg demonstration team has implemented and tested three (3) technological innovations (TIs), listed below according to the name and coding agreed with the EBSF_2 evaluation team and described in the following sections, namely: New energy-efficient heating solution for electric buses (TIGot1). In an electric driven vehicle the on-board energy consumption for heating is of higher importance compared to a diesel or hybrid driven vehicle, since there is much less surplus heat due to the high efficiency of the system.TIGot1 has tested the efficiency of a heating solution for electric buses that is driven by electricity and biofuels instead of diesel. Attractiveness and efficiency of innovative external and internal design of electric buses (TIGot2) A new driveline means the possibility to create new vehicle design. Four fully electric buses and seven plug-in hybrid buses (for comparison) that operate a new bus line in Gothenburg, line 55, have been demonstrated and evaluated. Attractiveness of innovative bus stop designs (incl. indoor) and interaction between bus and bus stop designs (TIGot3). Electrification offers new opportunities for creating innovative solutions for the interface between public transport and the urban environment, in terms of new types of bus stops, including an indoor stop. TIGot1 belongs to the EBSF_2 topical area “Energy Strategy and Auxiliaries”, TIGot2 to “Vehicle Design and TIGot 3 to “Interface between Bus and Urban infrastructure”. The team has shown a 60% decrease in the energy consumption for heating by installing an air-to-air heat pump, added insulation in key areas, and updated control systems. This equals a 17% reducton in overall energy use for an electric bus under normal operating conditions in Gothenburg. In terms of attractivness of buses and bus stops the fully electric bus line that has been implemented in Gothenburg has proven to be very popular with the travellers, as well as the drivers. Key benefits are the silent, low vibration, comfortable and well kept buses; the competent and friendly bus drivers; and the innovative and welcoming bus stops. Not the least people with reduced mobility stated that the buses and bus stops were easily accessible and declared it “the best bus ever”. Nevertheless some issues were found, not the least in terms of how to integrate the bus stops better in the city. The project clearly has shown that in order for bus stops to become something more than just a place to wait, both placement in the city and the cooperation of the surrounding businesses are of vital importance.

Haptic nudges to influence cyclist behaviour – an experimental study
- 2019
-
Ingår i: 8th International Cycling Safety Conference, ICSC2019.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Bicycle riders are over represented in fatal traffic accidents in Europe, and the trend is still on the rise (European Commission, 2018). While most cycling accidents are defined as single accidents, the outcome of an accident where a car or other heavy vehicle is involved is naturally much more severe. A Swedish study found that eight of ten car-bicycle accidents happen in intersection scenarios (Isaksson-Hellman & Werneke, 2017). If cyclists, as well as car drivers, adapt their speed before intersections everyone has more time to spot each other and to take evasive action, which should lead to a decrease in accidents. Authorities around the world are putting up physical obstructions such as rumble stripes to make cyclists slow down, but is this the right way to go? Previous studies have found smooth surfaces to be a very important factor for cycling comfort, and vibrations to be highly disliked (Ayachi et al., 2015; Bíl et al., 2015; Stinson and Bhat, 2005; Torbic et al., 2003). The core of the MeBeSafe project is to investigate whether nudging, i.e. non-forcing measurements without demands on conscious interpretation, can be used to influence traffic behaviour and suggest how these nudges should be designed. In the project, both visual and haptic nudges have been developed and tested. This paper reports on an experimental study with 16 participants, 19-75 years of age, that was carried out with six different haptic nudges. The nudges consisted of modified surface softness and roughness as well as dimensional modifications. Results indicate that most haptic nudges have very little effect on speed and those with larger effect are generally disliked. This suggests that building physical obstructions for cyclists may not be the correct way forward, although results from cycling workshops performed in the project suggests that haptic nudges might be a good choice if one wants to nudge cyclist to change trajectory. If one wants to affect bicyclists’ speed, visual nudges are likely to be a more constructive route for cities to take.
