Comparing Energy Efficiency Of Drivers And Vehicles Using Data Envelopment Analysis

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new methodology to compare and promote efficient driving by providing feedback to the user. The proposed methodology uses Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to enable comparisons between drivers and vehicles, by including parameters retrieved from vehicle as inputs or output for DEA method. Providing feedback to the user is essential in driving eco-systems for changing bad driving habits and not returning back to driving bad-habits. In our case, feedback is provided once the driver has finished some routes, by proposing which corrections or improvement has to deal with for future trips. The required vehicle’s telemetry data is obtained through the OBD2 port using an OBD2 adapter
