The Driving Coach, A fun way to save fuel, money, and reduce damage the environment.
The
benefits of the Driving Coach stretch far beyond simply saving the end
user a substantial amount of money. The will help everyone who uses it
realize that they really can play a major part in fuel conservation and
reducing oil dependency. It will also very notably help individuals
reduce their own carbon footprint by reduce the total amount of fuel
they use overall.
The Driving Coach is easy to use and customize.
The
Driving Coach is essentially an entire program itself that is packaged
within the WatchDog as an optional feature; it appears to the user as a
set of moving bar graphs and audio feedback and an overall grade. The
sole purpose of the driving coach is to help drivers maximize their
driving efficiency. It coaches drivers into better driving habits by
providing them with real time visual and audio feedback. The driver of
the vehicle need not do anything, but lend some attention to the Driving
Coach and adjust their driving habits according to the feedback
provided to them.
The driving coach is fully customizable allowing
users to set fuel economy goals and adjust feedback sensitivity. The
feedback sensitivity adjustment has three levels of sensitivity which
are suitable for different drivers and different driving environments
like in the city, on the highway, or out in rural areas.
The Driving Coach displays information
The
large gauge area is where the Driving Coach information is displayed.
The three bar graphs displayed in the driving coach consist of the three
items described below:
Real Time Fuel Economy:
The first bar graph displays instant fuel economy for the vehicle it is
installed on, making it clear to the driver how different driving
conditions and habits affect instant fuel economy.
Wasted Energy:
The wasted energy graph, middle bar graph, displays acceleration on the
right of the center line and deceleration to the left. The wasted
energy bar helps drivers stay within acceptable rates of acceleration
and deceleration to maintain efficient driving habits. The driving coach
also provides audio feedback for acceleration and deceleration.
Grade: The Driving Coach offers the user a grade to show them how well or how efficiently
they
are driving. This grade is determined by how well the driver meets
their instant economy goal and how closely they can keep wasted energy
to zero.
Set Vehicle Warning Levels:
The
WatchDog will notify the user when certain vehicle parameters read
above the users specified preset levels. The parameters below are the
parameters available for the end user to set warning levels. If a
warning level is exceeded the WatchDog will begin to beep and then
display the parameter that is out of range.
