Abstract :
In this study, results of an ecodriving challenge that took place during the Paris Motor Show in 2014 are presented. The principle of this challenge was to drive a simulated passenger car as far as possible with a limited quantity of energy (15 cL). The experimental setup, constituted of the SiVIC software, an Oculus Rift Helmet and a fuel consumption model, is also detailed. 1211 trips of visitors were validated during the 17 days of the event. Results showed that high acceleration without kickdown is desirable and that constant speed can lead to significant reduction in energy consumption. Next work will concentrate on improving the simulation and the scenario to increase the immersion realism and the ecodriving behavior sensitivity.
