Validation methodology focussing on fuel efficiency as applied in the eCoMove project
conference paper
This paper discusses the validation approach applied in the eCoMove project (a large scale
EU 7th Framework Programme project). In this project, applications are developed that on the
one hand optimise network-wide traffic management and control, and on the other hand
advise drivers on the most efficient routes and assist them in applying an eco-friendly driving
style. The applications are validated using different test methods: with (small scale) field trials,
driving simulator studies and microscopic traffic network simulations. In order to perform a
consistent and integrated validation and impact assessment, a validation approach based on
the FESTA methodology was developed that combines all these elements. The aim is to
validate whether a complete eCoMove system can reduce fuel consumption and CO2
emissions by 20%.
