Optimizing route choice for lowest fuel consumption – Potential effects of a new driver support toolToday, driver support tools intended to increase traffic safety, provide the driver with convenient information and guidance, or save time are becoming more common. However, few systems have the primary aim of reducing the environmental effects of…
