Embodiment Construction

[0015]Some embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to improving fuel consumption efficiency. More particularly, certain embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and systems for comparing a user's driving behavior to a desired driving behavior gathered from a community of multiple users in order to assist the user in improving the user's fuel consumption efficiency. Merely by way of example, the present disclosure has been applied to a particular pair of origination and destination points. But it would be recognized that the present disclosure has much broader range of applicability.

[0016]As discussed herein, fuel consumption efficiency refers to the amount of fuel used per unit distance according to some embodiments. According to various embodiments, the fuel includes any suitable type of vehicle fuel such as gasoline, diesel, natural gas, hydrogen, propane, alcohol, other hydrocarbons, or mixtures thereof.

I. One or More Methods for Improving Fuel Consumption...

Abstract

Method and system for improving fuel consumption efficiency. For example, the method includes collecting user driving data for one or more vehicle trips made by a user between a particular pair of origination and destination points, analyzing the user driving data to determine one or more user driving features of a user driving behavior for the particular pair of origination and destination points, comparing the one or more user driving features with one or more desired driving features of a desired driving behavior for the particular pair of origination and destination points, determining a performance feedback based at least in part on the comparison, and providing the performance feedback to the user to improve a user fuel consumption efficiency for the particular pair of origination and destination points.
