Abstract:

Automobile driving is one of the largest contributors to California’s greenhouse gas emissions as well as a major source of pollutants contributing to air quality concerns. Various strategies have been employed by local, state and federal agencies to reduce emissions, including: educational programs that encourage behaviors such as public transit use; carpooling; and the promotion of lower emission vehicles. One strategy that has not yet been well tested is the implementation of a device-based approach in schools, with student drivers encouraged to drive less and more efficiently through access to real-time transportation data. The program whose trial implementation is described in this research aimed to develop a smartphone application that helps individuals monitor and track their driving patterns and behaviors.
