Eco-driving coaching

Eco-driving coaching utilises preview information to enable optimal advance planning. The preview information, obtained from enhanced map data, should include road slope and curvature and road attributes such as speed limits, stop signs etc. Compared with Eco-driving assistance, the system tends to have at least some of the following features: recommendation of optimal speed profiles, especially regarding deceleration and avoidance of unnecessary stops etc. For example the driver can be advised to slow down to speed x km/h, x meters before an intersection which cannot yet be seen by the driver but that requires a stop.
