Abstract
A system and method of providing feedback to an operator of a vehicle is presented. A release of an accelerator pedal of the vehicle is detected and a distance traveled by the vehicle between the time the release of the accelerator pedal is detected and the vehicle reaches a stop is measured. The distance traveled and a speed of the vehicle at the time the release of the accelerator pedal is detected is determined to calculate a point score. After the point score is calculated, the point score is displayed for review by the operator of the vehicle.

A method of providing feedback to an operator of a vehicle, comprising:
- detecting a release of an accelerator pedal of the vehicle;
- monitoring a distance traveled by the vehicle between the time the release of the accelerator pedal is detected and the vehicle reaches a stop;
- determining the distance traveled and a speed of the vehicle at the time the release of the accelerator pedal is detected to calculate a point score;
- and
- displaying the point score for review by the operator of the vehicle.
A system for providing feedback to an operator of a vehicle, comprising:
- a pedal sensor configured to detect a position of an accelerator pedal of the vehicle;
- a movement sensor configured to detect a movement of the vehicle;
- a controller configured to:
- detect a release of an accelerator pedal of the vehicle through the pedal sensor,
- monitor a distance traveled by the vehicle between the time the release of the accelerator pedal is detected and the vehicle reaches a stop through the movement sensor, and
- determine a point score through the distance traveled and a speed of the vehicle at the time the release of the accelerator pedal is detected;
- and
- a display configured to output the point score for review by the operator of the vehicle.
A system for providing feedback to an operator of a vehicle, comprising:
- a movement sensor configured to detect an acceleration of the vehicle;
- a controller configured to:
- monitor a rate of deceleration of the vehicle between the time a release of an accelerator pedal is detected and the vehicle reaches a stop through the movement sensor, and
- determine a point score through the rate of deceleration;
- and
- a display configured to output the point score for review by the operator of the vehicle.
