Abstract
In spite of several technical advances made in recent years by the automotive industry, the driver's behaviour still influences significantly the overall fuel consumption. With the rise of smartphones adoption, there are also new opportunities to increase the awareness to this issue. The main aim of this paper is to present a new smartphone application that will help drivers reduce the fuel consumption of their vehicles. This is accomplished by using the smartphone's sensors and the vehicle state to detect the driving pattern and suggest new behaviours in real time that will lead to a more efficient driving experience. The preliminary results show the potential for significant energy savings and their relevance for changing the drivers' behaviour.Keywords
