Abstract
A web survey has been conducted to study the attitude towards Green ITS among drivers in the Netherlands and Japan. The survey consists of four parts: personal information, driving behavior and ITS experience, attitude towards environment, and Green ITS preferences. The results show that the greatest motivation for drivers to follow fuel efficient behavior is to provide them with information on how much money they would save. To a lesser degree drivers are also interested in information on their fuel consumption during the trips. The least preferred information is about impact on environment, such as CO2 emission. Correlations are found between information preference and the driving style. The majority of the respondents think that the provided information is relevant and they are willing to use the system. This positive attitude towards Green ITS can lead to acceptance and frequent use of Green ITS. Based on the survey results, a new design for Green ITS is proposed. It provides information on driving behavior, expenses on fuel consumption and environmental factors. During the trip, advice and fuel consumption will be displayed with simple indications on an on-board screen. After the trip other information will be presented with trends, numbers and texts. In the design of such a system also safety, distraction and other psychological influences of the driver are taken into account.
