    Multivariate analysis of fuel consumption related to eco-driving: Interaction of driving patterns and external factors
    (Elsevier, 2021-03-01) Lois García, David; Wang, Yang; Boggio Marzet, Alessandra; Monzon, Andres
    Eco-driving, as individual car-use behavior, is a cost-effective way of improving fuel efficiency, reducing CO2 emissions and other air pollutants like NOx. This paper aims to expand the knowledge on the short-term impacts of eco-driving by developing an analytical model of the key factors that explain fuel consumption and eco-driving, and to examine their relations in greater depth. Additionally, this paper analyses the effects on drivers’ stress levels after eco-driving. An eco-driving field trial is applied to collect real data of 1156 trips, using two vehicles and 24 drivers (42% Female; Age, M = 30.15; Years of driving experience, M = 10.30) in two Spanish cities with different road characteristics. A sequential method involving factor analysis, regression analysis and path analysis is used to analyze the sample. The results confirm that eco-driving is strongly affected by driving behavior like deceleration rate, RPM and speed, also showing that external factors as congestion and road slope have a direct influence on fuel consumption. The results also reveal that perceived stress levels vary among drivers, but there is not significant change when drivers eco driving.

    Are travellers willing to adopt MaaS? Exploring attitudinal and personality factors in the case of Madrid, Spain
    (Elsevier, 2021-10) Lopez Carreiro, Iria; Monzon, Andres; Lois García, David; Lopez Lambas, Maria E.
    Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is expected to significantly change our mobility patterns. However, it is still not clear who will accept this new mobility paradigm and how it will affect travellers’ behaviours. In this study, we identify a set of attitudinal and personality factors relevant for MaaS adoption based on a survey comprising 1,000 respondents in the metropolitan area of Madrid (Spain). The results show strong positive attitudes towards MaaS after being validated through a structural equation model. The higher the percentage of multimodal travellers, the more they are open to “new mobilities”, the greater their technological capabilities and curiosity, and the lower their cost sensitivity, then the higher the adoption potential for MaaS. Our analysis reveals four clusters in terms of individuals’ intention to use MaaS technologies (technological car-followers, unimodal travellers, MaaS-lovers and active public-transport supporters). Motivated by a significant environmental sensibility, MaaS-lovers appear to be the most likely to reduce their private car usage in favour of alternative modes. Overall, we recognise two main barriers that can frustrate MaaS adoption: low technology affinity and low openness to sharing-mobility services. Policies that focus on these two aspects can encourage MaaS acceptance.
