Green Speed - Saving Fuel and Environment with Intelligent Speed Adaptation in Stockholm

A new concept for combining Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA) with support for economical driving is being implemented in Stockholm City. This concept is based on saving fuel by reducing speeding and improving economical driving. Speeding is reduced by the ISA component and economical driving achieved by combining support before driving (education, incentives), with support during driving (from vehicle computer) and support after driving (statistics, feed-back). Ecodriving is not a new concept - the new part is that we use the ISA-equipment and the ISA organization also for ecodriving. This makes it easier and cheaper to implement both ISA and economical driving. The goal is to save at least 10 percent fuel and the corresponding amount of CO2. Test vehicles will be available at the ITS World Congress in Stockholm 2009.
