Towards the Design of Eco-Driving Feedback Information Systems – A Literature Review

Road transportation contributes to about 17% of worldwide CO2-emissions, thereby accounting heavily for the still accelerating climate change. Eco-efficient driver behavior is a cost efficient, yet powerful means to significantly decrease emissions from road transportation. Using feedback IS in the car to support and promote drivers towards a less fuel consuming driving style has shown to be effective in a variety of studies. However, there are many ways for designing an eco-driving feedback IS (EDFIS). What is still missing is a general design theory for EDFIS. To fill this gap we conducted a systematic literature review that covers research on EDFIS of the IS community and beyond. A detailed set of evaluation criteria gives an overview of the status quo on EDFIS research that might serve as a basis of upcoming work towards the developments of an EDFIS design theory, thus leveraging the potential contribution of eco-driving behavior for future green transportation.
