Abstract

As road transportation has been identified as a major contributor of environmental pollution, motivating individuals to adopt a more eco-friendly driving style could have a substantial ecological as well as financial benefit. With gamification being an effective tool towards guiding targeted behavioural changes, the development of realistic frameworks delivering a high end user experience, becomes a topic of active research. This paper presents a series of enhancements introduced to an eco-driving gamification platform by the integration of additional wearable and vehicle-oriented sensing data sources, leading to a much more realistic evaluation of the context of a driving session.
