INTERACTIVE METHOD FOR HELPING THE DRIVER OF A MOTOR VEHICLE TO ADOPT AN ECONOMICAL DRIVING STYLE AND VEHICLE USING THIS METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to an interactive driving assistance method. This method involves selecting a desired driving style, and analysing (F1) a driver behaviour during a detected life situation. From a memory (5), a recommended driver behaviour is then selected for the current life situation corresponding to the desired driving style. The behaviour of the driver is then compared (F1, 16) with the recommended behaviour, and those aspects of the behaviour which are considered to be improvable are identified. Finally an audio and/or video information message (7) is issued (F4, F5, 27) inviting the driver to correct his or her behaviour on at least the most critical point.
