Abstract

Method and system for improving fuel consumption efficiency. For example, the method includes collecting user driving data for one or more vehicle trips made by a user between a particular pair of origination and destination points, analyzing the user driving data to determine one or more user driving features of a user driving behavior for the particular pair of origination and destination points, comparing the one or more user driving features with one or more desired driving features of a desired driving behavior for the particular pair of origination and destination points, determining a performance feedback based at least in part on the comparison, and providing the performance feedback to the user to improve a user fuel consumption efficiency for the particular pair of origination and destination points.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method for improving fuel consumption efficiency, the method comprising:

collecting, by a computing device, user driving data for one or more vehicle trips made by a user between a particular pair of origination and destination points, the user driving data including information related to a user driving behavior of the user for the particular pair of origination and destination points;
analyzing, by the computing device, the user driving data to determine one or more user driving features of the user driving behavior for the particular pair of origination and destination points, the one or more user driving features being related to a user fuel consumption efficiency of the user for the particular pair of origination and destination points;
comparing, by the computing device, the one or more user driving features with one or more desired driving features of a desired driving behavior for the particular pair of origination and destination points, the one or more desired driving features being related to a desired fuel consumption efficiency for the particular pair of origination and destination points;
determining, by the computing device, a performance feedback based at least in part on the comparison;
and
providing, by the computing device, the performance feedback to the user to improve the user fuel consumption efficiency for the particular pair of origination and destination points.

3 more elements

A computing device for improving fuel consumption efficiency, the computing device comprising:

one or more processors;
and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
collect user driving data for one or more vehicle trips made by a user between a particular pair of origination and destination points, the user driving data including information related to a user driving behavior of the user for the particular pair of origination and destination points;
analyze the user driving data to determine one or more user driving features of the user driving behavior for the particular pair of origination and destination points, the one or more user driving features being related to a user fuel consumption efficiency of the user for the particular pair of origination and destination points;
compare the one or more user driving features with one or more desired driving features of a desired driving behavior for the particular pair of origination and destination points, the one or more desired driving features being related to a desired fuel consumption efficiency for the particular pair of origination and destination points;
determine a performance feedback based at least in part on the comparison;
and
provide the performance feedback to the user to improve the user fuel consumption efficiency for the particular pair of origination and destination points.

6 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for improving fuel consumption efficiency, the instructions when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the computing device to:

collect user driving data for one or more vehicle trips made by a user between a particular pair of origination and destination points, the user driving data including information related to a user driving behavior of the user for the particular pair of origination and destination points;
analyze the user driving data to determine one or more user driving features of the user driving behavior for the particular pair of origination and destination points, the one or more user driving features being related to a user fuel consumption efficiency of the user for the particular pair of origination and destination points;
compare the one or more user driving features with one or more desired driving features of a desired driving behavior for the particular pair of origination and destination points, the one or more desired driving features being related to a desired fuel consumption efficiency for the particular pair of origination and destination points;
determine a performance feedback based at least in part on the comparison;
and
provide the performance feedback to the user to improve the user fuel consumption efficiency for the particular pair of origination and destination points.
