In recent years, modern society has been facing more traffic jams, higher fuel prices and an increase in Carbon Dioxide emissions. According to NASA Global Climate Change, the current warming trend is extremely likely (greater than 95% probability) to be the result of human activity since the mid-20th century. Although general awareness in sustainability issues has improved in recent years through mass media coverage, this knowledge is not always translated into actual sustainable practice. The transportation sector consumes more petroleum than any other sector, and that share has increased over time from about 50% in 1950 to about 70% in 2018. In 2016, light-duty vehicles accounted for 58.5% of transportation energy use while medium/heavy-duty trucks and buses accounted for 23.9%. Vehicle miles travelled was seven times higher in 2017 than in 1950. In the transportation sector, the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) emphasizes advances in communication and connectivity with breakthroughs in emerging technologies in fields such as fully autonomous vehicles sector. Small to mid-sized cities are not always wealthy enough to adopt these infrastructure changes so sustainable transportation falls on the decision of commuters. This paper shows how gamification can be linked to the components of Industry 4.0 to encourage drivers to drive less aggressively and, thus, more environmentally friendly. The gamification approach is illustrated using a sample of nine college-aged drivers but can be extended to fleet drivers.
