Abstract Eco-driving is expected to contribute to the efforts to fight against global warming by reducing carbon dioxide emissions from vehicles. It is the driving technique that enables low fuel consumption mainly by accelerating gently at the start and avoiding frequent accelerating and decelerating. The effectiveness of eco-driving has been assessed based on a single vehicle; however, it remains to be investigated on multiple vehicles. This paper assesses the effects of eco-driving when following other vehicles on open roads under two different instructions (Japanese eco-driving and German eco-driving) to reduce fuel consumption based on the experiment environment by integrating a driving simulator and a traffic simulator.
