Evaluation of eco-driving performance of electric vehicles using driving behavior-enabled graph spectrums: A naturalistic driving study in China by Hui Zhang, Yiyue Luo, Naikan Ding, Toshiyuki Yamamoto, Chenming Fan, Chunhui Yang, Wei Xu, Chaozhong Wu

“…The results show that: 1) The graphical method can describe the individual features of a driver’s ecological driving behavior; 2) Rapid acceleration of driving behavior leads to high energy consumption; 3) In the comparison among the six eco-drivers and energy-intensive drivers, founding that the energy-intensive drivers accelerate and decelerate significantly more in CCCF traffic state; 4) The driving behavior was more complex and unecological in CCCF traffic state; 5) Fifteen drivers had lower ecological scores in start-up driving. This study proposes a method for visualizing ecology driving behavior that not only help understand the individual characteristics of ecological driving behaviors, but also offers substantial application value for the subsequent construction of Ecological driving behavior regulation models.…”
