TY - JOUR PY - 1978// TI - Driver performance and fuel economy JO - Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomic Society annual meeting A1 - Jones, Margaret Hubbard A1 - Appleby, Michael R. SP - 539 EP - 540 VL - 22 IS - 1 N2 - Ninety drivers drove a city route under closely controlled conditions. Driver behaviors were scored and the vehicle was instrumented to record variables relevant to fuel economy. Fuel economy was related largely to average speed and number of variations in speed. Of the driver performance variables, only following distance related to fuel economy. Leaving adequate headway is a strategy that should result in both a saving in fuel and greater safety.
