Abstract

We develop a driving simulator (DS) to be used for the human-vehicle system research. It can reproduce the driving environment by immersive stereoscopic display, which has five high brightness and high definition screens. The purpose of this work using this DS is to study the fuel consumption on follow-driving as an example of real world usage. In this report, we confirm 35% - 71% increased fuel consumption of the following vehicles to the vehicle ahead. Then we compare the driver's operations on the point of fuel consumption. And finally we study the feasibility modification of vehicle response in order to reduce fuel consumption on follow-driving.
